thinking partners said
As I said, I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about partner brands.

But I tell you, I would really be interested if there was a partner we could take in, that could put them over here on the side, that would allow us full leverage and access down the road.
advertising american-businessman code kids telling terms
But in terms of the code by which we go to market - it's not telling kids to supersize, we're not selling them, generally, products, in the advertising we do to them.
