"In a stunning response to Cisco's purchase of Nabisco, Juniper Networks has rapidly countered this foray into cross-marketing by quickly snapping up food conglomerate General Mills. In a statement released by early this afternoon, Juniper Networks founder Pradeep Sindhu points out, 'It's no surprise Cisco bought a company renowned for snack foods, look at their entire product lineup.
