Hello and welcome to Product recall where we dig into the story behind iconic brands.

Dory I am very excited to be here with you today because I'm taking the lead. I'm taking the lead today and we're not

talking about just one brand. We're talking about a I would say a genre of brains.

Okay. Now I first just want to kind of give you the backstory on what I had hoped to do today.

Well, Kate, actually, before we get into it, I think we should just like remind everyone

that this is your last product recall.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry, I forgot. I'm so excited to get into it that I forgot to say that.

Dory, this is my final product recall with you. And I guess in the spirit of that, what I had actually hoped to do as my last

product recall was Costco. Oh yeah. I thought that would be a very fitting send-off. I thought that would be a very fitting send-off.

I thought that would really.

It really epitomizes one, a place I love,

almost as much as I love the Forever 35 podcast. I would say Costco comes in second. But when I dug

into Costco, I quickly realized it would have made for a very boring episode of product recall.

Which is so funny.

It's because there's no drama.

It's like a well-run company that it was, it's a merger I mean look the long and the short of it was

two companies merged and became Costco like became Costco. Costco was founded in Seattle and they treat their employees well.

That's like basically all their kind of would have been.

So I had to kind of, you know, I had to circle back and I had to like really think about what do I want to talk about this is like the last product recall I'm doing like what brand what is it what product And then I kind of thought about something that I don't think

we have ever really discussed in a larger scale level. So this is going to be a little bit of

a departure, but I think it will be interesting.
