@johnbarratt76 @timjcarden Agree. The goal of a continuity (subscription) product is to create customers; branding comes second. I interviewed with Durbin and his backers right after the UniLever deal and they shared some of their numbers with me. Their end-game was retail and they never made it that far

@Elroythecat I ran a half a dozen focus groups when panelists told us (paraphrasing) “I don’t care if it cures cancer, there is no way in hell I’m buying it.”
