Hi jmac, I heard that guy also and that is what I mean when I say there are signs of the powers that be losing control of the markets. You will see more and more of this as the Houses and Funds desperately try and rescue their VALUE INVENTORIES. Will Not Work! V

otototot well come on. Summer is coming and mayonnaise will prove to be a huge seller. You can use it on both hot dogs and hamburgers. The 11.75 fl. oz.(.35L) in the plastic bottle is going to be a huge seller because of the aging baby boom has moved from tenting into motorhomes and this size fits in the little shelves of the little gas fridges.<ggg> don

Re : mayonnaise -- despite years of thinking (Best Foods) Hellmans brand is indeed excellent (and despite having enough money to be able to afford Hellmans), I recently "dared" to try some generic mayonnaise (Publix's own brand) (Publix is a big grocery store chain here in Florida). To my amazement -- I think the Publix stuff is identical to Hellmans. Upon closer scrutiny -- the label on the Publix jar says "distributed by Publix," implying it might just be Hellmans in a different jar. There was a cover story in Forbes magazine several years ago about "the end of an era" (my choice of words, not Forbes') for over-priced, well-known consumer brands. (The words on the cover were : "Hell no, we won't pay !") I remember reading the article and thinking : this is obvious; I wonder when (the "great") Warren Buffett is going to get hosed with his over-weighting in so many company's stocks whose products are grossly over-priced, and almost totally boycotted by me (and more and more people daily). I guess it may finally have started this past year ... Jon.
