David, I cannot believe we're about to do a four hour podcast on Syrup. Sugar and water. I mean, that's the entire business is just syrup, sugar, and water combined.

And it's a three hundred billion dollar company. Well, then you know what I'm gonna say to you in response to that. Do you wanna sell sugar water for the rest of your life? Or do you wanna come with me and change the world? Ooh, save it, David. Save it. Who got the truth? Is it you, is it you, is it you No. Is it you, is it you, is it you?

Say it straight Another story on the way Welcome to the fall twenty twenty five season of Acquired, the podcast about great companies and the stories and playbooks behind them. I'm Ben Gilbert. I'm David Rosenthal.
