When it first started happening, I heard the excuse it
was a case of
industrial espionage gone wrong where an ingredient was left out of
the recipe. Now it sounds like it's done as a cost savings.
Industrial espionage _is_ cost savings: it's cheaper to swipe something
from a competitor than to develop it yourself - or, at
least, when it
isn't then industrial espionage is a stupid thing to do. :)
