  • Mattel’s AI Toys, Bacon Inflation, and Starbucks' New Turnaround Plan

    Mattel’s AI Toys, Bacon Inflation, and Starbucks' New Turnaround Plan
    Jun 13 2025
    Mattel is partnering with OpenAI to infuse AI into toys like Magic 8 Ball and UNO, with new AI-powered products expected this year — part of Mattel’s broader push beyond plastic and into digital experiences. Meanwhile, bacon prices are up nearly 20% year-over-year due to tariffs, higher production costs, and California’s animal welfare laws, potentially making the price spike permanent. Oracle shares cooled slightly after reaching an all-time high, still riding momentum from strong cloud earnings. And Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol is rolling out a turnaround plan: trimming 30% of the menu, launching protein lattes, promising no price hikes this fiscal year, and leaning on algorithms to improve service speed. 🚀 Loving the show?
