. “In the last year, the 81-year-old home lifestyle entrepreneur got seriously into NFTs. Along with launching an NFT boutique on her website, Stewart turned over 100 images from years of Thanksgiving photo shoots for “Martha Stewart Living” into online images that fans can buy as NFTs — from the overflowing leftover turkey sandwich to a horn of plenty given a modern, stylish spin.”In CBD and pumpkin spice, Stewart might be tapping into a jackpot.
“The gummies tap into several trends at once — along with the growing demand for CBD, it seems like brands start peddling pumpkin spice products earlier and earlier every year,” The Street reported. “Food research firm Tastewise told Fast Company that there was a 45% rise in consumer interest in pumpkin spice products between October 2019 and October 2020 as well as a 221% rise in its appearance on menus during the same time period while business intelligence company Morning Consult found that 25% of Americans feel that late August is the perfect time to start seeing pumpkin spice products.”
