Forget the CPI Index. Bottom line: snacks are still too expensive for a lot of people. See Campbell earnings out today with the drop in snacking consumption:

Expo West take-aways... → Taste is still king → Good branding is now a commodity → Not much true “innovation” - very few surprises → The breakfast category is under-served; big oppy → This industry has great humans; more collegial than others → Nutritional “no man’s land” is a death sentence; pick a lane → Protein is everywhere; less fiber and creatine than expected → Most big booths have been in the game a while; build to last! → Booths are only as valuable as how engaging folks at them are → Loyalty continues to erode (bad for big CPG; good for upstarts) → Meat sticks are everywhere; now a crazy-competitive category → A.I. wasn’t mentioned much, but when it was the tone was positive (CPGs will get more efficient / profitable; none of the "doomerism" you see elsewhere)

The impact of the Iran war on container shipping is reaching well beyond the Persian Gulf, creating ripple effects upstream at ports around the world. 1/ 🧵

Nope. This is a lack of understanding of the issue on his part. The study he references only looked at microplastics (generally >1um in size). The vast majority of what is in water is NANOplastic particles between 50nm and 500nm. When you look for these size particles you find hundreds of thousands per liter in plastic. @bryan_johnson simply hasn't read the literature and is wrong about this. Glass is clearly better. Check out the recent analysis on bottled waters I did here on @X.
Mikli@CryptoMikli

Bryan Johnson reveals that water from glass bottles has MORE microplastics than water from plastic bottles ''When you look at the data, the microplastics don't come from the glass, they come from the lid and it's the paint that goes in the lid and then it chips off'' ''That's why it's very counterintuitive. You think a plastic water bottle is made of plastic and a glass water bottle is made of glass. The glass bottle has more microplastics than the plastic bottle. This is why testing is the best thing to do, it's very dangerous to have assumptions''

Coca-Cola confirmed that Topo Chico Mineral Water glass bottles will be “temporarily unavailable in the U.S.” because of “facility upgrades at the water source and production facilities in Mexico.” Flavored / cocktails will remain on shelves. ktla.com/news/consumer-…

Over the past two weeks, we have had a flood of economic data, including employment, inflation, and GDP. I usually focus on analyzing the numbers, but I also found myself addressing questions about the agencies that produce them and whether the data can be trusted.

The @McDonalds McNugget Caviar drop broke the internet (HTTP error 429), leaving fans stumbling for answers.... a partially loaded "Sold Out" is as close as some came to securing this delicacy. Site crashed just before the 11am drop. Site is back up as of 11:10am.
