And a year later, I can tell you across the board, uh we've checked every box and then finally, I just would say, oh, what a gift to get the members of the SOS team.Um They've done a great job, hit the ground running.I've always, I, I've told you this before, but I always view what you sell and what doesn't sell is a great snapshot in the economy.

And remember, you know, as much positive momentum as we see it, I want to be really clear the path to consumer recovery um in in the world of food has never been clearer than it is right now.
I, I think this will again, you know, when I think about snacking over a longer period of time, the resilience has been astounding. Um But I think this belief of, of cost or prices coming down um in a material way is just not what we're seeing on the horizon.
