The roast
Chad Janis is the "Undeniable Gummy King," which is an impressive title for a man whose entire business model is just convincing adults to eat Flintstones vitamins so they can feel like they're participating in wellness. He’s essentially a candy dealer for people who want to feel virtuous while they snack on high-fructose corn syrup in the shape of a bear.

They're all awesome, but this endcap might be our best so far. The Ü Snacks Shack. Our giant green gummy bear, and the whole Ü Snacks family together in one place: Grüns, Grüns Kids, Nütrops, and Immün. We already rolled out across 3,200 Walgreens doors nationwide.

Grüns runs today just about the same as we did pre-acquisition, except now with more clarity, quality of thought, and decades of experience informing our decisions. 2. (The most difficult e
