Another thing Annie really excelled at was distribution, up to and including leaving boxes lying around. Amusingly, this too has been done with scooters, but not (yet) hoverboards. But distribution is especially important for a product like macaroni and cheese which is sold everywhere, and Annie's really does have (in my experience) good market penetration, which I suspect predates the investor buyout. Cars and hoverboards on the other hand are only sold in a few places or on the Internet, which means you have to compete elsewhere.
