🍻 “Winner gets free beer” — Budweiser’s World Cup. Apple’s iPhone City. Toys ‘R’ Us’ Inception Retail.

Budweiser’s beer was banned last second at the World Cup, so it’s giving the beer away to the winning country. The China protests are a threat to Apple more than any other company — Because China is home to iPhone City. And 400 Macy’s stores are now implanted with a tiny Toys ‘R’ Us store because Macy’s is the new mall. $BUD $M $AAPL Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

Gyms are already at record highs in 2022 — and it’s partly thanks to Planet Fitness’ perfect $10 price. Toyota has a plan to remain the #1 car company on Earth: hybrids, aka electric training wheels.

It’s our last pod until Monday, November 28th, so we’re looking at The Return of the Jedi in real life — 3 years ago, Disney’s Bob Iger quit, now he’s back as CEO. Breakfast icon Denny’s just launched a bottomless breakfast blouse that broke Black Friday: A $6 t-shirt worth 1,000 pancakes. And your wallet is smaller than last year, but thanks to jobs, experts think you’ll spend more on the holidays than last year (spoiler: It’s a “Santa Splurge”). $DIS $DENN $WMT $AMZN $SPY Follow The Best One Y...

The World Cup begins Sunday in Qatar, a nation of just 300k citizens (half of Vermont) — but it’s dropped $200B for 8 new stadiums. Starbucks’ busiest day of the year was yesterday’s “Red Cup Day”, because holidays beat habits.

Taylor Swift’s concert tickets just broke TicketMaster — but the debacle also shows how TicketMaster’s monopoly frustrates everyone with fees.
