Oscar Mayer launches face ‘bologna-inspired’ face masks

Oscar Mayer takes a shot at the self-care space, with the launch of a gag product that was developed with Korean beauty and skincare brand Seoul Mamas and retails for $5 a piece. While resembling Oscar Mayer’s signature cold cut, the face mask contains no actual meat, but does have ingredients intended to promote skin hydration and elasticity, along with anti-inflammatory benefits.

Penetration rates of online alcohol sales are catching up to the rest of the CPG industry, but more investment is needed to further gains, the report said.

Amazon to ‘electrify’ their delivery fleet

Often getting slammed for their carbon footprint, Amazon is making a pledge to make half their fleet carbon neutral by 2030. They have made many efforts to improve efficiency, but it does seem like overkill when you see 11 different Amazon trucks come down your street every day – what happened to drone delivery Mr Bezos??
