Vlasic Corporation found itself bound to supply huge gallon jars of pickles to Wal-Mart for $2.97, a price at which it made maybe a penny a jar... Forced to continue offering the deal or lose its entire Wal-Mart account, the company saw its profits squeezed for two and a half years before Wal-Mart finally let it “up for air.”

So who was the Vlasic genius that signed the contract? Did Wal-Mart hold a gun to their head and make them sign it?

Those guys don't sound too bright. It's like a Wal-Mart exec was waiting for him in the back seat of his car when he got off work, held a knife to his throat and made him sign the deal.
