The Best One Yet - 🎓 “Ivy League fast-pass” — Crimson’s venture-backed tutor. Louis Vuitton’s tariff pain. Butterfinger’s 101-year streak.

A college tutor startup is now worth $500M… Because it gets you into Harvard (for $200K).

Louis Vuitton sales fell last quarter… because the trade war is firing up again.

Butterfinger just launched its 1st new flavor in 101 years… and we think that’s a mistake.

Plus, Crocs just launched clogs for dogs… Because we spend more on pets than shoes.

The Best One Yet - 💎 “Big Lab Bling” — Diamonds’ lab equilibrium. Tokyo’s subway IPO. Goldman’s deal party.

The Best One Yet - 🚀 “Next stop: Mars” — SpaceX’s historic launch. Taco Bell’s name-your-price. Tesla’s empty CyberCab.

SpaceX just landed a skyscraper rocket with chopsticks… It’s the 1st step to landing on Mars.

Taco Bell’s newest innovation isn’t food, it’s financial… Name-your-own-price.

Tesla finally unveiled their robo-taxi (and a cyber-bus and humanoid robots)… but Wall Street thinks it’s empty calories.

It’s National Failure Day… so we’re celebrating the losses (yes, that typo was on purpose).

The CIA has a Venture Capital arm… and it’s one of the top-performing VCs in America.

Second-hand clothing sites DePop & Poshmark are struggling… because they over-innovated.

The Best One Yet - The Best Idea Yet 🍟 The Happy Meal: A Delicious McMystery

Episode #1 of our new show… The Best Idea Yet. We’re serving it up here early for the Besties & Yetis.

For future episodes of TBIY, subscribe/follow here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

The Happy Meal is the most successful meal in human history. With over 35 billion units sold, or about four for every person on Earth, McDonald’s iconic “Food and Fun in a Box” has also made the company a bigger toy distributor than Hasbro or Mattel (and maybe even Santa). But few know the Happy Meal’s contested origin story. Was the creator a mom of five in Guatemala, an ad man from Kansas City, or a forgotten franchise called “Burger Chef”? Spoiler, it wasn’t Grimace. Hear how McDonald’s perfected a strategy called the “window of loyalty,” and visit a little place called “Hamburger University.” Listen to find out why The Happy Meal is the best idea yet!

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with, and the bold risk takers who brought them to life.
