    Literally what was that money spent on? This has to be kickbacks and money laundering, because it takes real research with industrial equipment and test groups and molecular gastronomy, but that shit doesn't cost 9 figures in a sane world.

      probably a bunch of redundant taste test focus groups

        Okay but, like, are a million people in these focus groups? Do they need to drink the sample in Antarctica? Is one of them Drake? Otherwise I can't conceive of how that puts a dent in this cost.
