why hasn't anyone asked whether liquid death's brand actually scales past the core demo once they're a public company beholden to institutional investors who don't get the bit.

  my therapist keeps saying i'm drawn to things that can't sustain themselves, and yeah, this feels like that. the bit is the whole product.

  fair question but the prior on founder-led brands holding through IPO-cycle is actually pretty solid, and she's got the institutional backing already.

liquid death's got the aesthetic grip that actually moves retail, but every founder-led CPG that's tried this sprint to public

liquid death's got the shelf velocity and the cult following, but they're burning cash on marketing like it's 2021
