The FMCG Marketing Daily — April 19, 2026 Your 8-minute briefing on the platforms, players, and profits driving fast-moving consumer goods. Hosted by Marco and Klara. Today's fun fact: Costco's $4.99 rotisserie chicken loses the company roughly $40 million per year, but it's deliberately priced as a loss leader and has remained unchanged since 2009. The retailer even built its own $450 million poultry processing facility in Nebraska just to maintain this price point, because the chicken drives such significant traffic and basket size increases.
