In 2005 the overweight U.S. population was about 209 million Americans. Competitors in the weight loss drugs included Alli, which was an over-the-counter drug with FDA approval, all other competitors were herbal or dietary supplements thus not regulated by any governing body.

Scousers put the accent on success The soft and friendly version of the Scouse accent has helped to turn Liverpool into Britain's favourite location for call centres. Liverpool, where call centres have become an important strategy in economic regeneration, came top of a league table compiled by the recruitment agency Adecco. It was the only British city to win a place in the European top 10. Adecco surveyed more than 250 call centre executives employing 40,000 staff in Europe who handle 550m calls a year. Alice Powell, investment manager for the Mersey Partnership, which helps to bring jobs to Merseyside, said employers saw accents as an important factor in determining the quality of staff.
Up until that time, clothing trends had largely been set by fashion houses that catered to the adult market and the dress style of young people had simply followed adult fashions. As cinema, television and rock 'n' roll swept the world, however, the youth market clambered to copy the 'style of the stars'. Teenage fashion quickly developed into a huge industry in its own right. During this period, teenagers also had increased buying power.

“Cork” Walgreen III. In the 1970s, Walgreens’ rival Eckerd Corporation looked as though it was going to be the big winner in the drug store industry, only to be overtaken by Walgreens (Hattwick, 2005). The difference in the two companies’ success is the difference in their leaders: Jack Eckerd was a dynamo of energy who “had an uncanny genius for figuring out 'what' to do but little ability to assemble the right 'who' on the executive team” (Hattwick, 2005). He took two small stores and built an empire of over 1,000 store locations in the southeast United States (Hattwick, 2005). But then Eckerd left to pursue his passion, politics, and without him at the helm, the company began to fail and was eventually bought by J.C. Penney (Hattwick,
