Completion of the acquisition is expected in the second half of 2021 and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Furthermore, Coca-Cola HBC and Caffè Vergnano will enter into an exclusive distribution agreement for Caffè Vergnano’s products in Coca-Cola HBC’s territories outside of Italy (together, the “Proposed Transaction”).

All the data marketers will ever need, it was claimed, can now be obtained from ‘neurometrics’ – via MRI scanning, EEG measurement and eye-tracking devices. I listened to the lengthening list of uses with mounting disquiet and an article formed in my mind entitled ‘Caution: neuroscience may be dangerous to the health of your brand’. The lead article in this issue provides the explanation of why the skills required for brand building live in a parallel universe. Douglas Holt and Douglas Cameron in ‘Cultural innovation: triumph of a better ideology’ look to anthropology for inspiration. It is commonplace to say that brands live in the mind (as opposed to the factory). But where they really live is in culture, in society’s norms, values, codes and practices. And while yes, neuroscience and anthropology can exist together, the danger is in what we qualitative researchers call ‘physics envy’ (the need to elevate market research to the level of the pure sciences). Put access to the brain – the human version of the Rosetta Stone – together with lots of gadgetry that measures things and before you know it, the new and intriguing drives out the old but essential.

    Texas Coffee News South Edition Serving South Montgomery & North Harris Counties Everybody’s Talking! Careful preparation: In many countries, it is illegal to sell and cook a poisonous mushroom called the false morel (Gyromitra esculenta). However, despite the dangers of consuming this mushroom, people in Finland love them. False morels contain a toxin that causes illness. But in Finland, there are strict rules regarding their preparation, and they are legal to sell. For example, cooks must take a series of steps, including rinsing, boil- ing, and draining, after which these steps must be repeated. All this must be done in a ventilated room to avoid inhalation of the fumes. View from above: Sports fans in Poland came up with a novel way to watch their favorite event, despite the social distancing required during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sport was motorbike racing, and the location was the Stadion Zuzlowy in the town of Lubin. Only a few spec- tators were allowed into the stadium, so some fans decided to rent con- struction cranes to watch events. The fad started with three cranes at the first race of the season, but it was such a popular idea that by the third race, there were 21, each holding two to four fans. Slithering pets: Choosing a pet is usually not difficult. People usually pick a poodle or a kitten, or even a parrot, as a new family member. However, a teenage girl from Purworejo, Central Java, Indonesia, keeps six pythons as pets. Chalwa Ismah Kamal has no fear of the big snakes as she plays and cuddles with them.
