i couldn't help but laugh when i saw that subject..
it struck me as funny to see a candy (i know they make other things but .... i wondered if they were going to include candy in each of their meals and what the nutrional exchanges would be on those...hahaha

Thats about the same as the cereal companies (Quaker Oats) putting out energy bars using the descriptor as a substitute for their normal cereal and milk breakfast.
And the major soda companies each having bought into the 'thirst-buster' athletic drinks.(Gateraide, etc)
Diverisfy for Market Share!

I will bet that Arrowhead water(a division of Nestle's) will become a vital part of the Jenny Craig diet.

I've thought about buying them just so I could fire Kristy Alley, She's more obnoxious than Rachel Ray.

Then perhaps you would prefer KIRSTIE Alley, the spokesperson for Jennie Craig!

What ever her name is. I think she has oversaturated the airwaves with her cuteness.

And, since Pepsico has owned Quaker Oats for a few years, the Pepsico Corp. is actually the source for the aforementioned Quaker products, as well as Gatorade. Now that's what I call diversification!
