This meeting was called to discuss the impending doom of humanity due to the rising popularity of artisanal, small-batch, organic, gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and locally sourced snack foods.
We've reached a critical point where our snack food supply chain is at risk of collapse, and our collective waistlines are expanding at an exponential rate.
| Snack Food Type | Market Share |
|---|---|
| Artisanal Popcorn | 23% (and rising) |
| Craft Beer Pretzels | 15% (but only if paired with a small-batch IPA) |
| Kombuucha (a.k.a. Fermented Cucumber Bites) | 10% (and a strong contender for Snack Food of the Apocalypse) |
| Non-GMO, Vegan Energy Bites | 5% (and growing) |
| Local, Organic, Free-Range, Grass-Fed, Non-Non-Non-Non-Non... Baked Fries | 3% (but only if served with a side of artisanal ketchup) |
Stay vigilant, comrades. The future of our snack food supply chain is at stake.
