I'll end off by saying that we had a massive story here down south in South Africa about, um, police finding a, a storeroom full of GLP-1 drugs that are— that were being sold on the black market in South Africa, which— wow, uh, it just tells you how big of a deal this is. Um, and unfortunately, um, or fortunately, we— South Africa is one of the tightest regulated medical sectors in the world, so Nothing is sold here until it's certified and tested and whatever else. So the fact that this was sold on the black market and you could see legitimate products in, in warehouses just tells you how big of a deal this is. I always say, show me what's on the black market and I'll tell you what's flavor of the month. But yet again, the impact that this will have on CPG should not be forgotten.
