First, a quick word from our sponsor.
I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again. Listen to Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky wherever you get your podcasts.
For our first story, it's official. Pepsi is acquiring Poppy for $1.95 billion to get into the prebiotic soda craze. It's a really nice exit for Poppy, which actually pulled off the biggest brand pivot in the history of liquid. Trivia. Jack, what do SodaStream, Tropicana, Gatorade, Quaker Oats, and Poppy all have in common? They've all been acquired by PepsiCo. Yeah, Pepsi. You got some taste buds over there. They're Gatorade bathing themselves right now because Pepsi just confirmed rumors on Monday that they're buying Poppy, the prebiotic soda, for $1.95 billion. Prebiotic soda. Yetis, we got to drop some definitions on you over here. Jack, probiotic soda- What is probiotic soda exactly? Probiotic is something like kombucha, which adds new bacteria into your gut.
Okay. If that's probiotic, what is prebiotic soda? Prebiotic is when the drink includes fiber, which feeds the existing bacteria that's already in your gut. So add it all up and Poppy's prebiotic soda is kind of like a yogurt, but liquidified in your gut. Like if Dr. Pepper and Tums had a soda baby.
