    comparing todays corp.s to a Cherry pie!

    I didn't realy know where to put this so it ended up here.

    In talking about corporations I'm referring to mega corporations not the guy down the block.

    As I circle the drain of life, so to speak, small comforts become big comforts. A couple of those are Cherry,chocolate, and Rhubarb pie.
    When I lived in CA. there was a restaurant chain called Mari' Calender's who started as a pie baker that had great food and particularly Chicken pot pies and fruit pies, It was so strong in my mind as to be considered in my decision to move back to the Midwest. In a couple of years after moving, to my Joy the brand showed up in the freezer section of the local market with nearly the same great taste.

    Unfortunately it also drew the attention of the other frozen food brands . You know the ones that sell for 10 for #10 and all taste the same (like card board) no matter which one you buy.

    The other day I bought a MC Cherry pie and got home to sit down and enjoy a slice
    only to find that vslice contained exacxtly 2 Cherrys and a pice of Cherry peal.

    The point of all this is that Cherry pie is analysis of the greedy mega corps of today.
    Banquet or I should say who ever owns the brand and now owns MC just substituted the contents and sell it as a premium brand to make a few bucks, well actually a lot of bucks. The same thing has happened with Fiat and Chrysler. and many others. THey don't buy to improve their own service or quality but to suck every penny ofd profit fron the good name they bought.

    It works exactly like the McDonald's Katsup scandle of several years ago when they realised their servers were dumping several packets in each to go bag each packet worth maybe 1c but times mi8llions that adds up to a lot of pure profit. it actuyally makes a lot of sense for MD but what it started is what is important. Some one some where suddenly realized that if they took one cherry from each pie it would improve the corp. bottom line and no one would be the wiser.



    The next CEO removed another cherry and improved the bottom line once more and so on untill today there are no cherries left in the pie. The same is true when a 1/2 gl of ice cream is sudenly 1 2/3 qts and now 1 1/2 qts. The moral is simple .What kind of corp. do you want to be. mcw
