Ghost kitchens, social media ad boycotts & Driscoll’s on online grocery after Covid

Laura and Julia discuss how consumer attitudes to buying fresh produce online have changed in the wake of coronavirus, what the rise of dark kitchens means for restaurants and why some of the world’s biggest fmcg advertisers have pulled the plug on their social media ad campaigns.

Plus, they chat about what post-Covid range rationalisation means for consumer choice and why scientists are trying to grow chilli peppers in space.
