The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been criticized by commentators, including @ghoshworld, for spending over seven months deciding on the approval of a merger between two branded pasta sauce manufacturers. Critics have labeled the prolonged decision-making process as a waste of time, with some using humor, referring to the situation as 'Mama mia' and commenting on how 'antitrust turns into antipasti'. The merger, which has been the subject of scrutiny, is seen by some as inconsequential, leading to discussions on the efficiency and priorities of the FTC. The companies involved are hinted with the stock symbols $SOVO and $CPB.
