The biggest Dry January ever just ended, but we noticed something strange: A bunch of new alcohol. Joe Rogan and Neil Young’s Spotify duel has ended and we have a winner. And while it’s Crypto Winter for cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin Ben has lost ½ his value since November), it’s Crypto Spring for crypto-companies (one just hit a $32B valuation). $PEP $KO $SPOT Got a SnackFact?

Just in time for the Olympics (starting this Friday!), Kim Kardashian’s Skims shapewear hit a $3.2B valuation (they’re all over these 2022 Beijing games). Hot sauce is growing so fast in America it’s making ketchup look silly, so spice king McCormick is eating up your go-to bottles.

If you’re feeling pain in your portfolio, it’s because the stock market has dropped 10%. But don’t call it a bubble… it’s a balloon. Taco Bell just launched a business school (guac, like tuition, is still extra) because it’s pivoting to people.

You heard a lot about “The Great Resignation” in 2021 — But seeing Big Bank bonuses, we’re thinking “The Great Raise” could be next in 2022. Amazon is whipping up its 1st physical clothing store that wants to be your shopping BFF: Amazon Style.
