Sauce Essentials has successfully differentiated themselves from competitors in Michigan. I've included a screenshot of their Headset summary for June 2024. As the graph shows, this brand primarily sells vaporizers, but I think their edibles are special too! It's difficult to standout in a sea of gummies. Every brand sells them. For most 200mg products, the standard bag size is 10 gummies. If you're a higher tolerance user and want noticeable effects, you can eat a full 200mg dosage. 10 gummies can be a lot of effort to eat. Sauce stands out by not being 10 gummies. The phrasing "grab n go" is often used in cannabis packaging. In this context, it's an effective way to convey how quick the consumption process is supposed to be. Customers continue to return to Sauce because they're doing a ton of things right: ✅ Consistent branding. ✅ Quality/durable packaging. ✅ Constant variety in flavors. ✅ Competitively priced. ✅ Consumers need to eat less gummy to get the same amount of total THC.

New Mexico Cannabis % of In-Store SKUs In SEP '24, in-store menus reflect: √ Flower is holding strong at 23.5% of in-store menu SKUs, Pre-Rolls advanced to 21.1%, and Carts to 20.3%. √ Edibles, at 21.5% of in-store menu SKUs --> now with two consecutive monthly gains in category share What to expect in NOV '24 with the 679 New Mexico Cannabis Storefronts that reported REC Sales last month? ↗ # of Edibles SKUs: This is more of a seasonal shift than the impact of one holiday. The demand for Edibles increases into October because of Halloween and cooler temperatures, which means more discreet indoor consumption. In NOV '23, 27.9% of all in-store SKUs were Edibles. Halloween Impact? It's not a great sales holiday, especially as it falls on a Thursday this year. Headset NOV '22 data: Concentrates (-17.5%) and Flower (17.3%) performed the worst, while Edibles (-8.4%) performed among the best. ↘ # of Flower, Carts, and Pre-Rolls*: Of these three categories, will carts hold up the best, given the popularity of vapes? They are a more discreet form factor as more people head indoors for the winter. #newmexicocannabis #cannabisdata The Data Heard

We’ve launched a market study to take forward our ongoing infant formula work.

In common parlance often, the terms shelf life and expiry date for chemicals, food, cosmetics etc. are used interchangeably and incorrectly. However the graphic brings out the difference in the terms much clearly Shelf life and expiry date are related concepts, but they refer to different aspects of a product's longevity: Shelf Life: This is the period during which a product is expected to remain safe to use and retain its intended quality (taste, texture, potency, etc.) when stored under recommended conditions. It can vary significantly between different types of products. For example, dry goods may have a longer shelf life compared to fresh produce. Expiry Date: This is the specific date after which a product should not be consumed or used. It is often marked on perishable items and medications, indicating the point beyond which the product may no longer be safe or effective. In summary, shelf life refers to the duration of optimal quality, while the expiry date indicates a strict cut-off for safety or efficacy. #shelflife #expirydate #bestbeforedate
