According to media, buying SodaStream was a bold move. Tend to disagree with that, more likely it was a move made out of fear of the predicted decline of the soft drinks market, so nothing bold or wise about that. I also don’t see sparkling water... — read more

Ramon was at Parkwood yesterday. You think he was there to determine the huge layoffs come November?

All, I have extremely reliable sources that claim the new CEO’s agenda has selling the chilled business and consolidating our portofio. I hear Q4 2018 or Q1 2019 for time frame. CDSD was first to go.
