Sounds like Hazel's ready to go. Well good luck on your errands. Yes, doesn't have to be contadine. I have to get good quality. Although, and I do have a question. This was kind of rumbling around in my brain while you were talking there James. So does Costco release or have a list of who makes their Kirkland brand products, right? So like the tomato sauce. Who makes that? Is that, you know, just one of the big manufacturers? Do you have any idea if they have such a list that they publish? Boy that's an excellent question. We know from K7R0, who's the guy in Chandler? And I'm blanking on his name. He said, he reported that, you know, when they decided to drift away from foster farms for their chicken, they built their own chicken farm. And that's, so it really is Costco chicken in those packages. Now as far as like the olive oil and stuff, you know, I don't know who they're getting it from. But they could be, you know, buying, they could be getting it from, I have no idea. But it would be interesting to know who they're sourcing it from. Because sometimes these brands have multiple, like, it's like liquor, you know. I know that there was a distillery that had a number of labels or brands. And they weren't, like there was, was it Rummer or Vodka? Their sales of vodka was down. And so they were trying to figure out, oh, what does she do? And one of their, like, you know, geniuses came up with and said, you know, instead of trying to figure out, you know, a label to sell, to go low to try and increase sales, how about we come up with some snazzy little name for a brand of alcohol and charge more and advertise it like, hey, this is some, you know, this is some snazzy stuff and it ain't cheap. So if you want to have really good, you know, vodka and it comes in this bottle with this snazzy name, you know, you didn't have to pay a little extra for it. And so they did. And they had a nice advertising campaign and they were making money hand over fist, same alcohol that they were selling for less. You can still pay less, get the same alcohol, but if you want this snazzy label and think you're getting something special, well, pay up. And it's Grey Goose. And that's how Grey Goose came into being. And it worked. Same stuff. It's like, I remember seeing an interview with somebody from Jamison and they said, yeah, we spent a lot more on the bottle and the design of the bottle than the alcohol. Alcohol costs us nothing to make, to distill. It's the same old cheap stuff. But that bottle, we spend all this money blowing these special bottles and people just drink it up because of that bottle. There you go. So I don't know, but it would be interesting to know what they're doing.
