Good Morning kids, Tony Loves Pringles. At Kellogg chip talk is Hot!

Most of us woke this morning, scrambled through getting kids ready for the day, hit ourselves with a couple cups  of coffee, (maybe some blue Jamaican, from Hawaii Roasters if you’re lucky), and maybe we  brushed shoulders with a KELLOGG product or two during our AM shuffle too. 

Today, this February 2012,  (K)  is big talk around some breakfast tables, with a genuinely sad story about a gone-wrong bad-apple, or two, out under the walnut trees (DMND) having opened up availability and re-positioned a little grocery darling, PRINGLES, being up for ‘offering’  by  (PG)  as they look to off the PRINGLES unit as a product line focus strategy.  It’s the general consensus as most can tell from the common buzz via  Yahoo! Finance. 

 

Now, whenever I mention the stock market, or my own isolated perspective on any certain value that a particular publicly held security may contain, I’m always right up front and clear to say that I never give personal advice about the market and each person’s choices are their own, based on heaps of due diligence.  Having said that, I can’t help but feel that if this announcement for a potential to add PRINGLES to the KELLOGG product line comes to full fruition with the closing of a deal, in my opinion it will have a very measurable potential as a factor in additional expansion of
international sales for  (K.)

 

Pringles is a familiar friend on the store shelves, my personally having traveled in Asia every year recently, places like Hong Kong, the Philippines, and seen how they are even more of a snack staple than here in the U.S.  Same story goes in Mexico too and though I haven’t been to South America myself, I’m pretty sure Pringles has…  Kellogg is already in those places too of course, though to me it looks like they’re just getting started with real international roll-out, being a bit of a comparative slow starter in that arena but having great things to come that may only make Tony an even happier Tiger than ever.   Can you say “K”?   

“K” is for Pringles! 

Yes, I am in long on a small investment in Kellogg  stock, as of  late 2011.
