Packaging and why it matters.
1. The riot of sparkle, rustle and colour in a tub of Cadbury Roses from 1990s
2. The soulless, corporate “flow wraps” that Mondelez now uses.
It makes me despair

Thoroughly enjoying Andrew Ross Sorkin’s ‘1929’.
But I can assure him that Jack Morgan (son of JP Morgan) did not go to Scotland to shoot grouse in June. That would have been illegal. The grouse season, famously, does not start until Aug 12 – ‘The Glorious 12th’.

🍻🧑💼Is free beer for workers a clever way to entice people back to the office?
One of the perks at Beyond co-working spaces is that you can help yourself to beer from 3pm. The boss argues offices need an element of socialising, otherwise you might as well Work from home 🧵1/3

December is a time when many of us drink more than normal – that extra glass of mulled wine after the carol concert, the office party involving shots and lurid cocktails, the annual meet-up with friends. Before you know it, you’ve consumed more than the recommended maximum weekly 14 units of alcohol in just a few days. Does a little bit of overindulgence matter?

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

I think this is rather clever.
Certainly as a recruiting tool. Or is it just cheaper than paying these people a decent bonus 😆

Yes, there’s healthier YouTube Kids but 33% of all children's time spent online is on main YT; 4.5% on YT Kids.
