I feel like the natural response to "why doesn't Wrigley's introduce this?" is something along the lines of "because they'd have to admit their product has been full of literal plastic for decades" 😅 Brands don't want to make moves that jeopardize their entrenched position.

And they get lazy. He even used the example of Heinekken. Also, they often feel it's easier to let the small guys prove proof of concept and then buy up because they're so lazy. I honestly think the Dragons were wrong and out of touch here, which is something I rarely think.
