115. The following appeared in a memorandum from the vice-president of the Dolci Candy Company.
“Given the success of our premium and most expensive line of chocolate candies in a recent taste test and the subsequent increase in sales, we should shift our business focus to producing additional lines of premium candy and discontinuing our lesser-priced, ordinary candies.
