FaintdreamsWhen will CEO's realise that 'Number go up this Quarter' is not sustainable forever, and if you make 'Number go up' as a result of undermining customer trust AND trashing quality of long running (50 / 60 / 100 year old brands) - then you're basically just swapping short term goals for long term bankruptcy - or lets face it being purchased by Private Equity eventually which results in Bankruptcy anyway
#Hasbro and #Mattel both claim that they don't want to cater to mostly Adult collectors - whilst knowing that the 'Kidult' market is where most of their profit comes from.
Yet, when they cut corners and produce AI Slop or near garbage quality items and Adult collectors don't buy things then the CEO's complain that adults are too picky.
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
DelMonte (Pacific)* just filed for bankruptcy.
The food brand that was over 130+ years old!
2025 seems like a prime year for 100+ year old Legacy brands to just up and die huh ?
[* Unsure how or if this will affect DelMonte UK / Other geographic areas ]

ChrisInstagram never fails to offer up a customised Ad tailored by Amazons algorithm for me, none of it is ever directly relevant but always an obscure offshoot of something I ‘might want’
Also they still make Hayes 56K modems? Maybe something to do with health care infrastructure still relying on faxes 🤔
