About my point about Coca Cola Sabco the largest bottler of Coke in Africa: yes it's an important part of Coke's distribution network, but a separate company from Coke. The arrangements about what product Sabco sells are negotiated with Coca Cola in Atlanta, but the decisions made by Sabco are largely their own. I think we'll find this true about Coke products where we want re-hydration salts to be distributed. Coca Cola, Atlanta has influence, but the decision making is distributed.
