What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThis is BBN Investigates. A new baked good has appeared, and the question on everyone's lips is simple: where may you find it?

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHank, I have covered supply chains on four continents. Nothing prepared me for the Costco Dot Cakes.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPeople online are asking one thing: where do I get them? And the comments are just that question forever.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOur evidence begins with MARCA, which published the locations where you may find the product. We have read the document.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd what does the document say?

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt says the cakes are sold at Costco. I will repeat that. Costco.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, the store with the name on the cake? That's a deep cover.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet's build a timeline. When did this product first reach the public?

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMARCA's report is about seventeen hundred minutes old. That is a day and a half of people not knowing where to go.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA day and a half is a long time to stand in a parking lot with a cart and no clue.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI need our analyst to walk us through the charts.

  12. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSure. This line is interest in Dot Cakes. This line is also interest in Dot Cakes. They are related.

  13. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo the two lines move together. That is how a network operates.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's the same line twice.

  15. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd that's why it's so convincing. The chart is mostly color.
