The fact that the crappy fiction version of "what if we did clickbait and gamification, but for happy stories" has succeeded for decades is actually funnier than their name, but that may be because I remember the book series by the same title being everywhere for many years...
i figure it's a "private equity ressurects brand with name recognition for the older middle class" scheme like so many others

The soul has required more succor than mere soup could provide for quite some time.

Assumedly the thinking goes something like this:
- Many companies, especially in the media space, get fucked over by VC ghouls
- Some of these companies are basically functional, and by capitalising on brand recognition and economy of scale could be rescued
- Buying a bunch of these companies sight unseen, as a gambit, is a worthwhile gamble
It didn't work out, but I feel like it easily could've.
it appears that the plan was "sell the company to finance guys after one of your motivational speakers got divorced from the woman who ran licensing for the company for decades - the other motivational speaker having already left his wife and kids for a masseuse in the 1970s, as detailed by his son's noise band - as those finance guys proceeded to ~pivot~ while also being sued by the prior distributor"

this sequence of posts felt like being punched in the solar plexus, groin, and back of the head in that order. what in the fuck
something displeasing about "Chicken Soup (Turkey Flavor)"
in reply to @NireBryce's post:
For real.
Learning that they are a Connecticut company explains so much.
we've got four types of businesses here:
- basically abandoned by the state and cities during the rise to online (and destruction of infrastructure post-2008), that are now dying unless the community came out to keep them afloat
- arms manufactury
- venture and private-equity investing
- ladies in their 40s and 50s buying 10-cent soap from china, adding fragrances, and charging 70 dollars for it as a craft good
this hits the last 2 and at this point honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Chicken Soup for the Soul manufactured clusterbombs or something
anagram time:
The Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment Company Worldwide Headquarters, initially located in a cliffside residence in Cos Cob, Connecticut, are seasonally gardened by experts in residential landscaping.
is an anagram of
That is Elon Musk's DOE/defense secret cyber-helicopter and weapon hardware factory, and underground intercontinental ballistic missile launch silo facility; yet preconceptions exceed a declining NSA/DIA IQ.
Wait until you find out about their enemas!
