NSB PICK EM 2025: ROUND 3 INAUGURATION MEGA PICK EM. SATURDAY 13th AND SUNDAY 14th SEPTEMBER

[HisExcellency]

I am mad at myself cause I had Crocker and didn't do the change. I also had Adams and did not change it. Guess commuting one hour to work is driving me mad.

I also had Crocker & Adams (as well as Crawford & Jimenez) but forgot to change them all. I thought Mbilli-Martinez would fight to a draw but forgot to change that too.

I SNOOZE I LOSE

[SUBZER0ED]

Wow, last place. Now, THAT'S how to screw up a pick 'em! Kids, don't try this at home!

[SUBZER0ED]

Agreed! I used a x5 on a perfect Crawford pick. I also won $6,200 in cash! Good weekend either way for me!
Its early in the season though!

Wow, NC in da house!

[SUBZER0ED]

PICK EM CREW, I'm sure you missed it out of pity for me, but I blew a X2 multiplier on El Feroz.

In the business world, the terms FMCG and CPG are often used interchangeably. Yet when it comes to sales, marketing, and overall business strategy, even small distinctions between them can have a major impact — particularly in international partnerships. Speaking the same industry language is essential, though, as always, the nuances matter.

The key difference lies in the details. Depending on geography, industry tradition, and even company culture, people may prefer one term over the other. More importantly, consumer behavior and sales velocity define the unique characteristics of each category.

CPG or FMCG? Regional Preferences
In North America, the term Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) is more widely used. Major U.S. and Canadian companies like Procter & Gamble, Unilever (U.S.), Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo describe their products this way. In contrast, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) is the preferred term across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, where global players such as Nestlé, Reckitt, Danone, and Henkel rely on it in their strategies and communications.

Understanding the distinction between FMCG and CPG helps businesses navigate conversations with international partners and refine their sales strategies. Still, the most critical factor is how consumers view these products and how that perception shapes sales models.

What is CPG?
Consumer Packaged Goods are products people purchase regularly, though not necessarily daily. They usually have a longer shelf life compared to FMCG items. Examples include skincare products, medications, clothing, household cleaning supplies, and specialty food and beverages. They are typically packaged for convenience and are consumed more slowly.

What is FMCG?
Fast-Moving Consumer Goods are everyday essentials that consumers purchase frequently and use up quickly. This group includes food, beverages, toiletries, and other necessities. With a very high turnover rate, FMCG products require constant restocking, and their rapid consumption cycle creates a highly competitive environment for pricing and availability.

WTF? Are these the pick em fights for this weekend?

Looks like someone posted in the wrong thread, or the wrong forum altogether.

As far as I can tell (don't quote me, something may still materialize), we probably won't have a PICK EM this weekend.

Tata and Koba are both stymied and it doesn't look as if there's much that qualifies (or excites). We'll see, but 90% chance we're skipping this weekend.
