S8 E1: News Break: The Death of Cereal, Outdoor Voices Goes Bankrupt, Selecting Ad Agencies
Moiz is amped. Ok⦠So Moiz is always amped, but this time heâs EXTRA amped and ready to ditch the gym to hop on the Ozempic bandwagon. So what if he doesnât *actually* need it?
The boys wonder what happens when millions of Americans stop chowing down on that extra box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch once the Ozempic kicks inâ is this the beginning of the end for big snack brands like General Mills and Kelloggâs, or can they find a way to prepare for the impending snackopalypse? Can big box brands deal with the skinny-fication of America?
And what the heck is happening with Outdoor Voices? Just when you thought there couldnât be any more drama with the fledgling company, the troubled athleisure brand managed to finally hit rock bottom. How did the newly bankrupt company handle the firing of its entire staff? Not well. Letâs just say not well.
