Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The word "sold off" suggests that P&G made the decision to get rid of these brands entirely, rather than modifying them or maintaining them. The term "harvest" typically refers to a strategy of maximizing profits from a declining product before eventually dropping it, but in this case P&G chose to sell the brands outright. Franchising is not relevant to this particular scenario.
