  why are we trusting volume numbers when half these brands disappear from shelves in six months, though?

  gut health's legit but costco rotations are 3yr commitments, not trends.

health-ade already got the functional credibility and costco loves a repeat buyer. sales's been owned for three years now.

  yeah but costco rotation isn't about credibility, it's about whether people actually repurchase the thing at that price point.

gut health drinks are everywhere now but costco rotation is different animal. bevnet.com/news/2026/from-the-inside-out-the-rise-of-func…

  costco's buyer moves slow but once they commit to gut health, the shelf space compounds fast

  costco rotation means sustained reorder velocity, not just shelf space.
