Costco launched Kirkland Signature in 1995.
Annual sales are now $90B, which is 1/3rd of Costco's total revenue.
I wrote about how founder Jim Sinegal built the private label brand, which was inspired by one Forbes article he read in the early 1990s. https://t.co/sFOx2RZrvz
Joey Chestnut has won 17 of the past 20 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contests.
His training regimen is next level.
Chestnut strengthens his esophagus by starting every morning by chugging a gallon of water and does “burping” exercises throughout the day.
And like any top athlete — see the (0:59) mark below —he does a lot of visualization and trains in similar environments.
Two weeks before the competition, the now 42-year old eating legend does a mock run while playing the previous year’s hot dog contest audio.
He’s eaten 1,289 hot dogs across his 17 wins. 76 per competition. Unreal.

Ben Wilson has advanced cancer. He has 4 small children. Please watch this video and see if you can help with medicine, introductions, or donations. He’s a good guy and a close friend. Please help in any way you can.
On a related note, I wrote on how Costo built Kirkland Signature. Jim Sinegal launched it in 1995 and private label now does $90B a year.
A 1/3 of Costco sales and more than Boeing ($89B), FedEx ($88B), T-Mobile ($88B), P&G ($84B) or Wells Fargo ($80B). https://t.co/f5mtAeSLCA
Erling Haaland documenting World Cup trip on YouTube has been gold.
When a passerby asks if he’s a famous footballer, pretends to the footballer’s “social media guy”. Goes to Stanley Cup Finals game and spots a fan writing a text about him. Talks about watching Messi and Mbappe first games.
Looking forward to commentary on Norway-France game.
Haaland bought his cowboy fit at a store in Dallas 3 hours after scoring the winning goal against Ivory Coast.
Asked if they sold Nike boots. Always be selling lol
Fox is airing two World Cup games in America on July 4th. Fingers crossed that FIFA and Fox Sports do the most obvious broadcasting move for the occasion: bring out Creed at half time to recreate this show.
So much respect to Cape Verde. Smallest country ever by population (525,000) to make it to World Cup knockout stage. Lost but still leave as legends.
Vozinha and Messi post game.
