I agree . I see mass shootings practically every day on the news

Maybe... or it's just the fact that chik fil a is freaking delicious with good employees. I only have to step foot in a mcdonalds before i lose my appetite seeing who works there.

have any Mach 3 users noticed a significant decrease in blade quality? mach 3 blades were so forgiving...you never got cut. now, they feel sort of like super sharp disposable razors that will cut you with the slightest mistake.

can anyone confirm?

It's almost as if attacking your main customer base (straight males) will result in less sales to your main customer base

Fukking idiots. I will never buy a gillette product again

Meanwhile, Chik fil a outperforms Starbucks, McDonalds and Subway even though they're closed on Sundays and their CEO is vocally anti-same sex couples. Could it be the country is becoming more conservative?https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/320615

I hate Gillette as much as the next guy (products are crap) but the guy in the youtube video is either playing dumb or knows absolutely nothing about accounting or corporate acquisitions. He's most likely financially illiterate and partially retarded.

Gillette didn't "lose" 8 billion. They are owned by P&G who acquired them in 2005 and typically when corporations perform acquisitions of other companies they will overpay by a significant percentage of the company's value in order to incentivize the shareholders or owners to sell their stake in the company. This is known as "goodwill" and this also includes intagible assets that cannot be fully evaluated at time of acquisition. There is literally a formula for goodwill in corporate accounting and this is carried on the balance sheet.

It is likely that P&G adjusted the value of this intangible asset during its earning period and had to record a charge against it now that it has owned Gillette for many years and can properly assess the goodwill amount paid (cash plus stock) to acquire the company. P&G had a great 4th quarter and it is a perfect time to announce a large write down like this. This is why the Gillette CEO feels "safe" to come out and speak out in support of their stupid marketing campaign.

I will let the actual CPA's chime in and correct me as I am an intermediate trader and not a professional by any means. But frauds like the idiot in YT video are embarrasing and give all educated people a bad name and his video just serves his retarded talking points. I understand it fits his narrative but he clearly doesn't know what he is talking about and this shows in the clickbait title. Read the actual article he "references" in his video where he claims Gillette "lost" 8 billion despite P&G announcing confidence in their brand. Truth is that anything Gillette does PR wise is approved by P&G and they are one of the most successful corporations in the world so good luck boycotting them and hoping they go out of business.

Umm what? What u mean by who works there?

Its an 8 billion write down with a 5.24 billion dollar direct reduction in sales. The company explained the reduction in revenue as the following - "market correction of blades and razors due to lower shaving frequency".

Trust me if they could pin this epic hammering onto a goodwill write down, they would do it in a very public manner.

1.29 billion dollar revenue at this time in 2018
5.4 billion dollar revenue loss at this time in 2019

...

And yes, ask anyone who trades for a living, everyone knows what happened. They paid the price for being communist scumbags. I hope heads roll at the feminist Gillette marketing department.


Do NOT use their products!

Ill never use their products or allow anyone in my friends and family to for as long as i live srs

what about the sl00t who came up with this campaign?
is she homeless yet?

lol@gilettecells. Haven't used one of those dinky pieces of chit since high school.





Buy a safety razor & some sharp blades, and you're set for life.

although probably if they are doing their forecasting they'd be working out whether the competition is suffering too.

Hilarious but you've got to catch them before they're deleted.

"Feminists also don’t shave their armpits Gillette. Bad move on so many levels."

"This ad cost PG stockholders $266,759,259.26 per second, setting the record for the all-time Corporate cluster-Fork."

"I used to shave my wife's boyfriend's pubes with Schick.. I will now be using Gillette"

ded
