They cost us a little more to bring to market, but it still makes total sense.
So even though everything's not at 85 bucks, you know, 105 is still a good deal.
125 is still a good deal.
It's just more of a cost of goods thing.
Like in a bag, like a retail cost?
You're well over $100 plus minimum.
I mean, let's put it this way.

They're bigger than us.
Now, you could argue there's a lot of research that goes in.
The argument that they would say would be there's a lot of research, you know, R&D,
a whole host of breeders, you know, logistics, all that.
