The joy of teaching: watching innovation happen. My former @jhuaap student Maia turned a kitchen-blender experiment into @drinkmilkish, a shelf-stable, zero-added sugar watermelon seed milk now in 125+ stores and cafés. Bravo, Maia! 👏 advanced.jhu.edu/about/on-th…

Fiber sodas. Fiber gummies. Fiber chips. Every CPG brand is racing to slap grams on the front of the pack. The winners don't shout the highest number. They make fiber feel like an upgrade, not a compromise. That's stealth health! tinyurl.com/54v2j9hr

3. So, where does that service fee charged by @DoorDash, @Grubhub, @caviar, @UberEats and their likes go to, @wilfredchan / @FastCompany? How do we get such firms to pay gig workers more equitably?
2. Delivery work & driving should not be a gamble! Thx to @kjacobs9 (UCChair, @UCBLaborCenter) for revealing that @DoorDash & other delivery/rideshare firms don't even pay minimum wages to gig workers who rely on our tips for their livelihood.

Another new way to customize your @Starbucks (and another reason for the waiting line to be longer!) "Oleato" an olive oil-infused coffee is being launched in Italy with plans for a U.S. launch this spring. cnbc.com/2023/02/21/starbuck…?

The US imposes higher tariff on women’s underwear than on men’s. Apparel tariffs account for 75% of the total cost imposed on US consumers by import taxes. Two-thirds of that comes from women’s clothes. @klebanov_sam via @MorningBrew morningbrew.com/daily/storie…
