And froehlich a couple days running I guess it was in the Wednesday food section they ran out meekly. -- goes to -- keep it pink and cream filled up cakes and home -- and that was up. Forget about like you know reports on bad guys the York it's gonna happen in the financial cliff or any of that.

The deal behind that I don't I don't buy I don't think she had that kind of -- the devoted cult following. No I don't think so either I I think there are a lot of things that have to do with. The fortunes turning -- like The Today Show it. You -- people forget I mean that dominance that's just one on for years and years year Newton.
