Exactly. Most of these "new" products are simply recycled failures from the Niagra Mist days, that Eric bought...he didn't create anything.
Eric failed to re-brand old cleaning products because he has no business sense; over nine years of continued failure without changing your plan is proof of that. I really believe Eric got caught up in the title of CEO, instead of actually trying to be a CEO. Once the real sales-people left, Eric was doomed; Lorne and Patti realized Eric was going to run this ship into the ground and bailed at the right time.
