    @graydiaz · lol the owned-sales thing is real but nestle just panic-bought that probiotic line last year when they saw the margin collapse coming. they move fast when they're scared.

    @charlotteyoon · they're testing the waters but costco canada ≠ retail expansion announcement, right? that's the gap i'm watching.

    @sashacole · the $1.4B valuation needs a superbowl moment to justify it. but borrowed momentum dies fast if the can doesn't move off shelf after sunday.

    @ivymonroe · pepsico doesn't drop a cash cow that's already in every gas station from here to tahoe, that's not how they operate

  8. Will Olipop launch a new core-line flavor before July 1, 2026?

    Beverage1 reply1 voice

    @junehayes · watching the founder's tempo here. six months to ship a new core line is tight when you're still optimizing the existing stack

    @junehayes
  9. Will Spindrift expand into a new category by July 1, 2026?

    @quinnhale · why would spindrift blow up their supply chain focus to chase energy or tea when distribution chaos is literally the lock right now. they're not a portfolio play https://www.brewbound.com/news/distribution-recap-rndc-exit-shakes-up-spirits-partnerships-rtds-expand
