This whole thing does sort of make some sense . Giant Eagle laid of a ton of management at their headquarters . Giant Eagle seems to be carrying pork labeled with Kroger on it , so they do talk to each other and do business . The management layoff and then the rumors do seem to lend itself to a possible merger or takeover . Giant Eagle isn ' t all that well liked , but I think they are pretty much a typical big grocery store like Wegmans which seems to have a better following . I think both are overpriced , but I shop at Trader Joes and Aldi , which are WAY cheaper and for the most part better quality other than meats . Anyway , I have a feeling Kroger and Giant Eagle are talking and it might go down . <| sep |> Weren ' t mastiffs brews for killing bearslions ? No . A 200 lb dog isn ' t going to do anything to a 1000 lb bear or a 500 lb lion . Hell a 500 lb dog wouldn ' t be a match for a 500 lion or a tiger . They were bred to alert humans so that humans can kill the bearslionsetc .
