@LuciusCincy @davematthewsbnd so sad when stuff like that has to get in the way. just play the music that we all know and love, if we wanted to hear a political podcast, we wouldn’t be at his show.

That’s why you don’t miss on purpose. Now the game is over unless UConn is dumb enough to foul on a 3. If it’s 3, you still have a shot.

A regular box of Pop-Tarts has 8 pastries. The new "Super Stuffed" box has 5. Same shelf space. Same or higher price point. 50% more filling per pastry, 37.5% fewer pastries per box. Run the math from Mars's side. Filling is the most expensive component of a toaster pastry. Flour, sugar, and shortening for the crust cost almost nothing at scale. Fruit puree, chocolate, and caramel concentrates cost multiples more per gram. Increasing filling by 50% while cutting unit count by 37.5% means Mars is selling you less total product at a higher effective per-unit price, while marketing it as giving you more. Pop-Tarts is a $1 billion brand with 80% market share in toaster pastries. Customers have been begging for more filling for years. This took "years" because the request was never hard to fulfill. The engineering of putting more jam in a rectangle was solved decades ago. What took years was finding the pricing architecture that turned a cost increase into a margin increase. Five individually wrapped pastries instead of eight is that architecture. The Walmart exclusive on Cinnamon Caramel is the tell. Walmart gets exclusivity because Walmart drives volume. Mars gets data on whether "Super Stuffed" commands a price premium before wider rollout. The exclusive flavor isn't a gift to Walmart shoppers. It's a controlled experiment with the largest grocery retailer on Earth. Mars paid $35.9 billion for Kellanova four months ago. When you own the entire category, the only growth lever left is revenue per unit. "Fans asked for it" is the packaging. Margin expansion is the product.

Purchasing the San Francisco Giants' 9-9-9 challenge box gets you nine mini dogs, nine glasses (an estimated 3-4 ounces) and a tall can of Coors Light. But the beer is not enough to fill every glass up to the level that anyone would consider a regular pour.

The $46 billion vape industry hired flavor chemists to solve a specific problem: nicotine tastes bitter. The human tongue has T2R receptors that detect nicotine and trigger aversion. So the industry reverse-engineered the problem. They loaded e-liquids with fruity aromatic compounds like farnesol, farnesene, and ethyl butyrate that suppress the bitterness signal and activate sweetness perception through the orbitofrontal cortex instead. Turns out they built something more powerful than a nicotine delivery system. A 2023 study in the Journal of Neuroscience found that green apple vape flavorants, with zero nicotine present, independently fire dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area and increase dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens. The same reward circuitry that nicotine hijacks. The flavor chemicals alone were producing reward-seeking behavior in mice. A separate study found strawberry additives significantly increased nicotine vapor sampling, meaning the fruit smell made subjects inhale more of the drug without any conscious decision to do so. 95% of vape users choose flavored products. The industry has always framed this as “consumer preference.” The neuroscience says the flavors are pharmacologically active compounds that directly alter brain reward circuits and increase drug intake. Now look at what those compounds do once the device gets tossed. The UK was discarding 5 million disposable vapes per week before the ban. The aromatic volatiles don’t stop broadcasting once the device is empty. Orthonasal olfaction, the same pathway that makes you smell a strawberry from across a room, works identically in mammals. A squirrel’s olfactory system processes fruity volatiles through the same receptor families humans use. The signal reads as food. Nobody saw squirrels gnawing on Marlboro butts for 60 years. Vapes show up and suddenly there’s footage from London, Philadelphia, and Wales. The animals are chewing on lithium batteries wrapped in candy-scented plastic because the flavor engineering worked exactly as designed on a nervous system it was never tested on. The lithium in those discarded vapes equals 5,000 electric vehicle batteries per year. Oxford researchers found the cells inside can cycle 450+ times, but the product is built to be used once and thrown in a park. A squirrel holding a blueberry vape on a Brixton fence is the most honest product review the flavor chemists have ever received.

1) I love seeing the success stories: hiring somebody who came from nothing, now watching them provide for their family, buy a house, own a vacation home I’m jealous of, and send their kids to college. This is amazing. 2) Conversely, seeing people with so much potential who consistently make horrible personal and professional decisions that severely limit their success. Additionally, the people who work with you are part of the family, and you mourn with those who mourn. When an employee’s child passes away, that’s tough. Imagine that across 50 employees per store times the number of restaurants you own.
