These are my predictions on things that are going to go down, down, down in popularity in 2027, and I think the third one might surprise you. Number one, protein. I think we're on the way out for protein, and I'll tell you why. I think the consumer is tired of protein being added to things like popcorn and ice cream. Like, leave my ice cream alone, will you? And like any fad, it will reach a crisis and then become silly, and I think we've actually already hit silly, and so we're on the downside. Number two is tapas. Something like 52% of people polled don't wanna share. They want their own plate. There's really nothing more irritating than having the waiter drop off small plate, and it's, you know, two scallops, but there's three of you, and you've gotta like like cut it up into little pieces like you're sharing food between birds. If I wanna share my food with my friend, I know how to do that. I don't need you to give me a tiny, unsatisfying portion that's frankly too expensive. Speaking of too unsatisfying portion that's frankly too expensive. Speaking of too expensive, this is my third thing that I think is on the way down, and I think you'll agree. Using provenance, where things are from, as an excuse for exorbitant prices. Like for example, the $100 bottle of olive oil, but also the sort of absurd lengths that the firm to table trend has led us to a place of this cow traveled in its own air conditioned vehicle with six feet of filtered air on either side, and somehow that is given to you as an example of why it's $900 a pound. Consumer is tired of that horse Consumer is tired of that horseshittery, cowshittery. That... The consumer is tired of that bullshittery. What do you think? What are you tired of?
