What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThis is BBN Investigates. Tonight, one question: where can a person get the new Costco Dot Cakes, and what does it cost them?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA grave development. And in a quieter corner of the news cycle, a cake. I have spent four days on this cake.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFour days.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe cake is called Dot Cakes. The Spanish outlet Marca published a guide with the locations where you may find it.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWhere you may find it. May. That is not the language of a store with cake in it.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAgreed. The headline promises locations and a price, and then does not give us either in the part we were handed.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo we have a cake, a store, and a headline that says maybe.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorInvestigators have confirmed the cake is associated with Costco. Which is where the cake is sold. We are treating that as a lead.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe store sells the thing. Somebody should have said something.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTimeline, Gloria.
