Plus, Colgate is a "leaner, meaner" company than PG and has "been more selective about its acquisitions," Cramer said. Colgate has restructured itself and is cutting costs. In addition, it is funding its own growth and innovating itself, he said.

Additionally, Cramer believes that Colgate could pick up some of PG's market share "as the lumbering giant tries to get into gear" and that it should now benefit from the "China Syndrome."

"Brush your portfolio up with Colgate," he advised.

In his "Mad Mail" segment, Cramer told a mailer to book gains and sell aQuantive (AQNT Quote) now that the digital marketing company has been taken over.

Moreover, Cramer told another viewer that Raser Technologies (RZ Quote) is too speculative for him. Instead, he suggested Corning (GLW Quote), which Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.
