Consortium to purchase Gillette

A consortium announced today that they will be acquiring Gillette from Proctor & Gamble. Stirling Soap, Krampert's Finest, Barrister & Mann, WhollyKaw and Mystic Water, members of the consortium, said "We can no longer stand by while those multi-bladed monstrosities rob the world of a great shave."

Initial plans include bringing back the Swedes, stopping manufacture of canned goo, and resuming manufacture of the Red Tip and the Gillette Tech.

All agree that King Gillette will rest easier in his grave with the forward movement of this iconic brand.

Good luck! P&G acquired Gillette in 2005 for about $58b ...

April Fools!

What a great April Fools joke, Pete123.  It made me smile.

Yeah, I thought this one up about a month ago and have waiting for April Fools.

Did I actually click on this post and read it? No, the guy that posts under me fell for it hook line and sinker. But not me.

LOL

If you'd have written KKR, Apollo Global Management, Carlyle Group and Texas Pacific Group I might have fallen for it.

You should have added Wolfman to the consortium - the comments would have made enjoyable reading.
