Kraft will have to change their name again after confusing all their customers....
It might not work for them either.

Kraft has Huge name recognition and they are going to mess with it? unwise....

Will Ferrell would have had a ball with that if they had bought the company sooner.

Bimbo Bakeries also bought Mrs Bairds bakery, one of the best tasting regional breads anywhere. So far they haven’t messed with the formula much.

I think they’re targeting a bigger, growing market segment. It’s not the spaghetio crowd from the ‘60’s either.
