 DS> Maybe Tootsie Roll should stick with what brought them into the

There is a school of thought that additional products means
additional market share even if you compete against yourself. If
four companies have a 25% market share each and one of them brings
out a second line they might conceivably get 2/5 of the total
market. But only if the second line is or at least is perceived to
be as good as the first. Of course if everyone does it, the whole
exercise is self defeating and you have the added expense of two
advertizing accounts, two set of packaging etc. so there's a net
decrease in profits.
