🌬️ “Chewing Gum is Out” — Orbit’s gum t...

Nick & Jack Studios
About this episode

Chewing gum sales have fallen for 14-straight years… so Orbit’s pivoting from freshness to mindfulness.

Job promotions have fallen by half in the past couple years… it stinks, but it also helps.

And General Motors has invested $8B into one $-losing startup… and it’s a banned robotaxi.

Plus, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs just split from 16x hot-dog-eating champ Joey Chestnut… blame vegan wieners.
