5 year price comparison Whey vs. Pea Protein

I was trying to think... what would Big Geyser see in Beyond Immerse?

Of course, as Ethan said, their board members have connections. Most noticably, Seth Goldman being a cofounder of Just Tea and Big Geyser being a distributor for them.

Anyways, I was thinking, how can this drink be a boon for their company?

Well duh! Animal protein is a thing of the past. These prices, they're only going up. Look at pea protein relative to whey on a 5 year chart.

Beyond has been using pea protein for over a decade according to Google.

They've been building this infrastructure for a long time! https://investors.beyondmeat.com/news-releases/news-release-details/beyond-meatr-and-roquette-announce-multi-year-pea-protein-supply/

We always say Beyond Meat is the future of food. This could be a sliver why. I could be wrong. Just a random thought.

This Big Geyser news might be bigger than expected...

Someone posted earlier a picture of the redesigned Immerse can.

When you go to Big Geyer's website, look what's first on the list! https://www.biggeyser.com/products/

This is kind of wild. If... and it's a massive if... this product can succeed with Big Geyser... I don't even want to say what will happen.

Scroll through the list. C4, Liquid Death, Celsius, essentia water, Just Ice Tea, Martinelli's apple juice

And here is a link to the 3 flavors being distributed - https://www.biggeyser.com/brands/beyond-immerse/

Big Geyser isn't playing games. This is life or death for Beyond right now.

Best pictures for marketing? ✨

What do you guys think is better for jewelry pictures for a small business? Edited or raw? So far I love the raw look and try to take advantage of natural lighting but not sure if maybe these look low effort? Appreciate any advice thank you!

Is Beyond next up?

Tesla nearly bankrupt. Apple nearly bankrupt. Amazon 90% drop. Nvidia had major drawdowns.

Is Beyond following a similar trajectory to world changing companies?

Don't say you weren't warned.

Beginner here!

How can I achieve this look? Any recommendations for base color and should I use a paint brush for the white part or should I buy a nail polish that includes a thin brush? Thank you!!!

Immerse came in the mail today!

Shout-out to BeyondTestKitchen.com

I honestly do believe these are healthy drinks. I really think it's supplementing my diet in a great way and allowing me to meet my nutritional needs simply.

Let's hope Beyond has a good summer with the drink and Big Geyser. At the end of the day, they're working tirelessly behind the scenes.

All we can hope for is it starts to reflect in future earnings reports. If so, expect fireworks.

Custom for the win!

I saw someone's custom r pendant on a sub from an overseas seller and I fell in love, my son's initial is an r and this was my first mother's Day present! Hopefully something I can treasure forever ♥️ it's a lab pink saphire in 14k gold with a little star on the bail as that's what we call him sometimes

u/Mango_diamond — 8 days ago

CAD check! 🤩

I am beyond excited for my ring!! I designed it based on a picture that I found on Pinterest and I'm obsessed, it's going to have an "organic" hidden halo in varying hues of pink saphires and two little stars on the side of the band because I try to include stars in all my custom pieces.

I'm working with Hope at Fiorese for this project and she is so attentive to details and made me a precise copy of what I wanted!

The main diamond will be an OMC oval

McPlant: A Sleeping Giant? Or a failed partnership?

Let's be real. When the Beyond Meat and McDonald's partnership was first announced in 2021, we thought it would be a health conscious choice for the consumer in which we can enjoy a standard McDonald burger without the cruelty and suffering. Regardless of your opinion on veganism, not killing an innocent cow is probably the morally correct choice.

Clearly, we were wrong. People don't care. They don't care that unspeakable cruelty is committed so they can stuff their face with a McDonald's burger. In fact, they'll make fun of vegans for defending animals. If you really break it down, it's psychopathic to promote murder and not have the emotional intelligence to understand where your food is coming from.

Whatever. I say all this not to start trouble. I say this because the thesis was wrong. At the end of the day, the consumer is going to care about price. How it gets to the plate doesn't matter. We want convenient, cheap, fast food.

My point is, what if the McPlant is a sleeping giant. It's already a permanent menu item in the UK. What if behind the scenes Beyond is repositioning itself as a value item. A burger in which the standard American family can enjoy at an affordable price point. Imagine if Beyond can produce a McPlant in which they can give themselves a comfortable margin, while still comfortably underpricing a standard beef McDonalds burger.

This is why it's a sleeping giant. Oh well, one can fantasize. Perhaps nothing will ever come with the McPlant. But what if with rising food costs, and unaffordability increasingly becoming more problematic, what if there's something deep in the works that the public knows nothing about?

We saw not too long ago Starbucks UK came out with a Beyond breakfast sandwich. There was a random report about Taco Bell developing a plant based protein potentially with Beyond. The US army wants to develop plant based rations. It's clearly happening, we're just still really early. Maybe we are where Tesla was in 2012. Plant based meat *should* grow as a category on a long term horizon.

I'm getting off topic. But if McDonalds was smart, a beefless burger will eventually be on the menu. When the car first came out, it was called a "horseless carriage". Humans couldn't wrap their heads around going from 0 to 1. Their world view was so deeply embedded with what they saw for so long, that this "horseless carriage", better know as the car, ultimately became the superior technology and changed mankind forever.

Beyond is the horseless carriage. It is the superior technology.

If you're not bullish on Beyond, you're not bullish on the future. You're not bullish on mankind evolving. If you're a hater, leave. All you do is show your ignorance. Ethan Brown, whether people like it or not, is going to die trying.

This is a moment too special to pass up.

This is purely speculation. Just an interesting thought experiment.

Good investment or nah?

I found a cool pawn shop that sells gold for spot value, and they don't even charge sales tax, they have this crazy 1 pound solid gold chain that is about 30k USD, would it be a good gold buy? Or are coins better even if you pay a bit more? New to gold and trying to accumulate but I do love jewelry since sometimes you can sell for a bit more because of craftsmanship or trendiness, thanks for any advice!

To anyone that has a crushed iced oval cut, do you regret getting that cut over a traditional oval?

I'm so picky over the bowties and I'm thinking a crushed iced cut could solve the problem, but will I not get some good fire flashes because of it? How does it look like under the sun? Thank you!!

It took me a while to find a diamond I loved and this was my 3rd diamond option (the previous ones kept getting purchased before I could ask for prong videos)

Their craftsmanship is impecable, I was worried since reviews cried their prongs and durability but I'm so so happy
