You are a marketing manager for Mondelez, and are exploring the possibility of introducing AmaYzing Salsa (AS), a combination mayonnaise and salsa sauce.  AS can be used as a salad dressing, a sandwich spread, a dip, or as a recipe ingredient.  It is guaranteed to add zing in any situation.  The plan is to introduce it initially in the southwestern United States, building on the local taste for salsa

Question:
