So it has been a while but they like it now and I went over some different reasons why they told their clients.

Listen, we think consumer demand for those sos products mostly res remains excellent.

They see the potential for modestly greater soba synergies down the road and third and perhaps most importantly, they say Julie Campbell's longer term margin potential might be bigger than the street expects.

Yes, they say that's thanks to what they call self help, efficiencies.

What that is self help, efficiencies.

You can kind of take out the self help.

It's efficiencies.

It's the company.

I like the self help, self help it, help them, them helping themselves by cutting costs is what it, what it seems to me that they're referring to here.

So that's what this has to do with it.

They're getting leaner and meaner at the same time that they have this potential growth engine in Reo's and the other uh sos products here.

And so that's why they think the margins are gonna beat what the street is looking for.

It's interesting.

This comes, um, after the folks over at JP Morgan led by Ken Goldman, met with the executive team at Campbell's and sounds like they were convinced by what they heard.

The Lipton Pantry V res.

Oh, is that right?

Well, you, you're a splurge on the, uh, on the side of splurging, you know.

Well, you live once, you know, life is too short.

She's gotta have that Julie, you know that.
