[REDACTED TEXT (b4), (b7D)]

[REDACTED TEXT (b7D)] has noted that since Frito bought out Eagle, Frito's marketing pressures have intensified. Retailers now create "plan-o-grams" in which they designate a certain vendor to a specific physical area semi-permanently. This means that if Frito buys out a certain portion of shelf space it will be able to maintain that shelf space for a significant length of time unchallenged.
