My problem with that is, is it— well, they have a new CEO, but the execution has not been great there. And David, remind me, Unilever. Okay. Unilever is doing this deal with McCormick. Yeah, they need money.
Jim Cramer · Squawk on the Street · 9AM HOUR: Stocks Hit Record Highs, CrowdStrike CEO on AI and Stock Surge, Skydance Era Begins 10/6/26 · 2026-10-06I don't want to make light of how hard this market is, but I mean, here's McCormick yesterday. They did this Unilever deal and the stock is down now to a 4.3% yield. People don't want to buy that. They don't want to buy the safety of a JNJ, which is, I still think, what you should be buying here. They want industrials and they want semis and give it to them. Don't overthink this. People don't like safety right here. They think the safety stocks are not good. Stick with the JNJ through thick and thin because it's good. But the food group, you know, ConAgra was bad, General Mills was bad.
Jim Cramer · Squawk on the Street · 9AM HOUR: Stocks Rally and Yields Fall on Jobs Report, Tesla Delivers, Nike Tumbles 10/2/26 · 2026-10-02By the mid-2000s, the company's products could be found on the shelves of virtually every supermarket in America. And in 2016, Seventh Generation was acquired by the multinational Unilever for between $600 and $700 million. The small little hippie business Alan and Geoffrey co-founded is now part of a giant company that owns everything from Lipton tea to Axe body spray. And even though Alan and Geoffrey were and are very different personalities, one thing they did share was a restless and even rebellious past. Neither followed the conventional path from college into a steady job. Alan Newman grew up on Long Island in the '50s and '60s, and he didn't care all that much about school. Jeffrey Hollander grew up in Manhattan. His dad was a powerful advertising executive, and like Alan, Jeffrey also remembers struggling in school.

I'm very proud of what I've left behind. More proud in some areas than others. But on whole, I look at what I've done more as, you know, building opportunities for people to, to grow find passion in work and find a way of earning a living doing what they love doing. And that to me is what's most exciting. You know, I unfortunately, I just had an experience where at the same time that Seventh Generation was being sold to Unilever and I was feeling really good about that, I was watching Magic Hat, you know, tank. And it's probably not going to make it much longer. Longer. And it made me really sad to realize that that's not living in my legacy. Um, 7th Generation, I feel, you know, has been a nice part of my legacy along with Gardener Supply Company. And I'm just— I do have a sadness for, um, the fact that Magic Hat didn't make it.
