They Spent $200M to Invent This Chip. It Ruined Lives. #172

from Double Dusted with Harley Morenstein · host Harley Morenstein, Justin Lynch & Studio71

This week, Harley and Big Lynch let YouTube's AI pick the episode and dig into the $200 million chip disaster that gave America diarrhea. The boys break down Olestra, the Wow! chip launch of '98, and why "may cause anal leakage" was just printed on the bag like it was a nutrition fact. Then it's an update on Brian Niccol's $100M year at Starbucks, McDonald's launching dirty sodas with no fresh limes in sight, and the 17g protein menu push for the GLP-1 crowd. Plus: a Chinese restaurant in Louisiana caught with roadkill in the freezer, Lynch's confession about eating queso out of the jar in his cup holder, and so much more.
