Sounds like Unilever's communication was half baked, and now Jerry isn't feeling so cherry (garcia) anymore... I hope they work it out before the whole operation turns into phish food.

i find it hard to be sympathetic here. they sold their business to unilever, a multinational consumer goods company, for $326m in 2000 ($613m in today's money).

25 years later, jerry thinks the company has lost its independence? the independence was lost before the ink dried on the sales agreement. unilever never cared about their social mission, period. they've been "dealing" with it since the acquisition.

why not take the sale proceeds and pursue other social missions? btw, phish food is my favorite flavor! <3
