Cracking Apples with your hands

Image
I guess this counts as a new skill- splitting apples using your bare hands. The fact that this guy is Russian has got nothing to do with it. Even if you are a scarecrow skinny girl you should still be able to do it. I picked this video simply because his accent made the demonstration even more entertaining. Enjoy (the fun and the apple)!

Why Grocers Like Tesco Find Trouble in the U.S. Market

An interesting read (click on image below). Perhaps grocery shopping is such a personal thing that it just takes a lot of effort to establish that relationship with the customers (i.e. people often go look for familiar brands or things that they grew up with).  Although it is still surprising that so many foreign grocers companies that have failed to compete in the US. Of course, with Big Data (if companies can get their hands on data for historic US consumer habits) there may be ways to mimic that experience, products, and branding that local customers are looking for.  With more supermarket groups now exploring China, it will be interesting to see if the Chinese consumers would be more accepting for western products, as concerns for food safety becomes a growing issue domestically.
