🍽️ “The Napkin Costume” — Chipotle’s Halloween collab. Surge in reservations for 1. US Steel’s epic history.

The Best One Yet

Reservations for 1 have jumped 29% in 2 years... because restaurants are microcosms of the economy.

US Steel built the Empire State Building & Willis Tower… but its epic $14B deal got stock-blocked

Spirit Halloween just collab’d with Chipotle on Halloween… because products are now protagonists.

Plus, there’s a political divide between brands… Frosted Flakes are Democrats, but Frosted Mini-Wheats are Republicans.
