re: Kleinpeter ice cream

Kleinpeter needs a new PR team. Whining to the press about your inability to find a competent manager isn't going to sell your product or make people excuse your product's inconsistency. "Local" will only take you so far. I'm sure if K was offering an appropriate salary, a replacement manager could be found.

The company's lame line of reasoning reminds me of John Folse's BS story on ending his cheese production. The Bulgarians making cheese wanted to retire and go back to Bulgaria...and he "just couldn't find anyone" to replace them. Total crapola. Plenty of compentent cheesemakers turning out fantastic cheeses all across the US...he simply made a business decision to end a product line and used their retirement to put a spin on it.
