📱 iPhone: The Device Steve Jobs Didn’t Want To Build
Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/ Before 2007, mobile phones had tiny keyboards, crappy screens with internet so slow - you could finish a super burrito while waiting for your MySpace profile to load. Then Apple wowed the world with the iPhone: a digital Swiss Army knife that replaced cameras, maps, music players, AND created an entire new app economy. But the wildest part? Steve Jobs didn’t even want to build it…at first. Once Steve finally said ""yes,"" the real work began: a top-secret team (codename: Project Purple), some engineering dead-ends (a click wheel), and a near-impossible engineering challenge. Even then, Apple barely pulled it off — the first iPhone prototype was so flakey, one wrong tap could have sunk Steve's big reveal. Find out the (many) ways the iPhone almost failed before it even launched, what drove Steve Jobs to order 4,000 lattes, how a single device reshaped society (and your screen time), and why the iPhone is the best idea yet. Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.

🌭 Costco’s Kirkland: How a $1.50 Hot Dog Changed Store Brands Forever
Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/ If you currently own a 12-pack of bath tissue, a 150-count bag of laundry pods, and/or a 48-oz jar of cashews, chances are they all have the same label: Kirkland Signature. Costco debuted this private-label brand—aka ‘store brand’—in 1995 and since then, it’s become a sales-driving juggernaut. Kirkland products now account for a quarter of Costco’s total sales, from coffee and batteries to their famous rotisserie chickens and $1.50 hot dogs. But don’t you dare call Kirkland “generic”, the brand has built up a rep for high-quality products and a cult-like following from all walks of life. (Kirkland Tequila as status symbol? Believe it.) Learn how a retail legend named Sol Price fought off Walmart to make the world’s most perfect shoppers’ club, why the mere suggestion to raise the hot dog price resulted in a death threat, and why Costco’s Kirkland is the best idea yet. Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.

🌆 Sesame Street: The Trojan Horse of TV
Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/ Once upon a time, American kids had a problem—OK, two. They were watching way, WAY too much TV and they were falling way, way behind in school. But then a trailblazing producer and her psychologist friend asked a bold question: What if we used the first problem to solve the second? The result: Sesame Street, home of Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert & Ernie, and a social-media superstar named Elmo. Since Sesame Street’s debut in 1969—the same year as the moon landing!—the show’s helped educate more than 150 million kids in 70 different languages while breaking racial barriers along the way. It’s also taught us the meaning of friendship, the value of neighbors, and the joy of a good rubber ducky. And it was only possible thanks to audacious creators, educators, and one shaggy-looking puppeteer named James Maury Henson (but you can call him Jim). Learn about Kermit The Frog’s commercial past, why the only bets worth making are contrarian ones, and why Sesame Street is the best idea yet. Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.

The Best Idea Yet 🐂 Oregon Trail: Tricking Kids into Liking School Since 1971
Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/ Pop quiz: What’s the longest-running video game in history? It’s not Pac-Man or Donkey Kong or even Pong… it’s The Oregon Trail. A true pioneer (and we don’t just mean the ones in the covered wagons), the Oregon Trail has sold more than 65 million copies (that’s more than the Beatles’ White Album) and it spawned an “edu-tainment” industry now worth over $6B. But this wholesome game was created by three Minnesota student teachers, without a single thought towards making money… which is exactly why Oregon Trail made so much of it. Find out why this iconic game is a textbook MVP (Minimum Viable Product)… how an acquisition by Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful” almost led to a collab with Barbie… and why the Oregon Trail is the best idea yet.

The Best Idea Yet ⚡Red Bull: How The World Got Its Wings
To hear the rest of this episode, follow The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/ What’s keeping us up at night (besides our own thoughts)? An 8.4-oz blue-and-silver can of caffeine, taurine, sugar, and flavoring that’s part LaCroix, part Robitussin. Red Bull is not only America’s best-selling energy drink, it was its first: before the Bull, ‘energy drink’ in Illinois meant two Diet Cokes and a coffee chaser. But Red Bull’s reach is global, and its story actually begins halfway around the world. Learn about the Bangkok pharmacy owner who invented Red Bull, then gave it out for free in rural Thailand; and the Austrian toothpaste marketer who built it into a $19B global brand; and how Red Bull got so into extreme sports - it invented its own. (Flugtag, anyone?) We’ll tell you why every business needs a north star word, how an epic product needs a seed AND fertilizer, and why Red Bull is the Best Idea Yet.

The Best Idea Yet 🌶️Sriracha: From Refugee to Billionaire
Follow our The Best Idea Yet, our 2nd podcast series, to get episodes like this every week: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/ Chances are you’ve got a bottle of Sriracha chilling in your fridge right now, but have no idea who invented it — and the spicy story of how he did it. Entrepreneur David Tran fled Vietnam in the late 70s, smuggling gold bars into the US to start his venture - selling hot sauce out of a van. Little did he know his thick, spicy red jalapeño concoction would make him the world’s first hot sauce billionaire… without ever spending a single dollar on advertising (FYI: Kraft dropped $750M on marketing alone in 2023). For over 40 years, David’s stayed laser-focused on making “a rich man’s sauce at a poor man’s price.” But when massive pepper shortages threatened the entire business, he faced a choice more painful than Tabasco on a paper cut. Find out how David puts “Co’s before Pro’s” (customers before profits)...and why Sriracha is the best idea yet. Spotify Poll: Best Dish to Spice Up With Sriracha?

The Best Idea Yet 🛻 Jeep: The Car That Saved The World
With Veterans Day coming up and everyone exhausted from the election, we thought we’d offer a break from the news. Here’s a sample of our latest episode of TBIY about The Jeep. Known well by veterans, it’s “The Car That Saved The World”. The Jeep isn’t just a car, it’s a cult: inspiring clubs, meetups, even its own “Jeep Wave.” From cameos in M*A*S*H to Mean Girls, the Jeep’s been ranked the most patriotic brand in America for 20-straight years (sorry, Coke). But did you know that Jeep actually started as a group project? Learn how three fiercely competitive rivals came together for some emergency teamwork to help Allied Forces win WWII, how a freelance designer almost didn’t get the credit, and how its name was (maybe) inspired by a mythical character from Popeye. JEEP isn’t just the world’s 1st 4x4… it literally saved the world. Jump in Yetis, we’re going exploring… Find out why JEEP is the best idea yet.

🩱 “85% off Ozempic” — Ozempic’s weight-loss dupe. Burger King’s free-tuition strategy. Red Lobster’s shrimp bankrupt-sea.
Coca-Cola, Lockheed Martin, & Burger King are all pursuing the same marketing strategy: Pay your tuition — Companies are dishing out scholarships because brands are the new institutions. Ozempic is facing its first ever dupe, a version that costs 85% less — Hims & Hers found a loophole, and are launching a weight-loss business line off it. And The Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy yesterday, so we’re comparing the seafood chain to The Olive Garden — One gave away carbs (and thrived), while the other gave away protein (and died).

🐔 “Chicken Finger Financier” — Raising Cane’s secret sauce. Mercedes’ “Alabama Discount”. Copper’s the new gold.
Raising Cane’s has become the fastest growing chicken chain in the country, it’s 10x bigger than Sweetgreen — But their secret sauce is actually an app… that you can’t use. A Mercedes’ factory voted against unionizing last week, dealing the UAW a blow — But the real story here involves Alabama Football Coach Nick Saban and the “Alabama Discount”. And Copper prices are beating gold, crypto, and the entire S&P 500 this year — Because new technologies require new minerals.

🫠 “Promotion, Pay Raise, or Taco Tuesday?” — The secret to job satisfaction. Netflix’s NFL Christmas gift. Wayfair’s 1st megastore.
Job satisfaction just hit a record high 62.7% in America, but it also revealed a strange paradox — More Americans prefer company culture than a promotion or pay raise. Netflix just gave itself the biggest Christmas gift of all: NFL football games for the next 3 Christmases — But Netflix isn’t buying NFL games, they’re renting them. And Wayfair, the online-only furniture store, is opening their first ever physical store in Wilmette Illinois — Because ecommerce ran into reality.

❤️ “Elmo the Influencer” — Sesame Street’s Instagram strategy. Uber’s new Costco run. Google is killing Google Search with AI.
Elmo, Big Bird, and Mr. Snuffleupagus are trending on social media because of Sesame Street’s new strategy — Sometimes you’ve got to do things that don’t scale. Uber just launched its newest form of transportation: A bus — Because public transportation can’t take you to a 10pm concert or a 6am Costco run. And Google’s new artificial intelligence announcement is actually going to kill Google Search — Because technology can retire an entire industry. Plus, the hot new place to work these days?

Kim Kardashian’s Skims just announced a WNBA partnership — Because Skims is competing where Victoria’s Secret and Spanx won’t play. Pizza Hut is launching its first… hamburger — But 30 years ago, McDonald’s tried launching a pizza. And it’s a case study in getting out of your comfort zone. And the White House just quadrupled tariffs on EVs, batteries, solar panels, and chips from China — Because “Made in China” doesn’t mean cheap anymore.

With the Knicks and Rangers deep in the playoffs for the first time in decades, MSG Sports stock is winning right now — But it suffers from the Diva Discount (we’re talking James Dolan). Sam Altman and OpenAI just announced their newest AI breakthrough: GPT4o — But this isn’t about how smart it is, it’s about how easy it is to use. And GameStop’s stock ended the day 74% higher because Roaring Kitty tweeted a meme after 3 years of silence — We’re talking meme stocks again.

The world’s most-northern piece of real estate just hit the market for $300M — We predict who will buy Svalbard, and what kind of wild polar park it will become. Warby Parker’s stock surged 18% last week because of a wild retention stat — 100% of Warby-wearers buy a 2nd pair within 4 years. And General Motors just announced it’s killing the Chevrolet Malibu, which was GM’s last sedan — turns out, all American sedans are no-more, not just because consumers want huge cars.

Disney and Warner Brothers Discovery are launching a streaming bundle this summer that includes Disney+, Hulu, and Max — People say this is like a cable TV all over again, we show how it’s not.

Introducing: The Big Flop
The Wing was supposed to be a model for feminist social clubs, built on activism, inclusion, and self-care.

This is just a preview of The Big Flop. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, or at wondery.fm/the-big-flop .

He almost left the interview in the middle of the show because he had a business idea he wanted to get a head start on. We’re kidding (but not really). Marc is just that exciting, smart, and unique. So we wanted to share this entire chat from our live performance with you, our whole podcast audience. Because few people in life are as motivating as this legendary New Yorker, Marc Lore.

🍌 “This Pod is Bananas” — Bananas’ inflation-eater. TikTok’s ban vote. Women’s worldwide job record.
There is 1 product that has defied inflation more than any other: The Banana — Bananas have remained the most affordable fruit in America for 3 reasons, and 1 of them is turning brown (literally). TikTok’s worst week ever: Congress is voting on whether to force TikTok to split from China — But the surprise on the ballot this election year may be Gen Z TikTokers. And the percentage of women working just hit an all-time high *worldwide* — And it all comes down to one key: Childcare.

BONUS 💤 “Stock Market Snooze Pod” — We read Amazon’s 1st shareholder letter from 1997… to put you to sleep 😴
Since we all lose an hour of sleep during Daylight Savings this weekend, we whipped up a special podcast to help you fall asleep: We read the first shareholder letter from Amazon’s 1997 annual report. Of all the corporate reports out there, this one is fascinating — Jeff Bezos illustrates the master plan that he would spend the next 25 years executing on. But it’s still a corporate report, so you’ll drift off somewhere between the 4th and 7th time Bezos mentions “relentless customer focus.” This is the first ever… Stock Market Snooze Pod: The Sleepiest One Yet.

🎷“Invest in Ja Rule” — Jukebox’s song stocks. Rivian’s DINK-mobile. Walmart’s early bird super delivery.
JKBX is letting retail investors own a piece of their favorite songs, like Beyonce’s “Halo” — Because the SEC just approved Wall Street’s publicly-traded jukebox. Rivian just unveiled a compact electric SUV, the R2, and surprised us with the R3 and R3X as well — Because the future of electric cars depends on creating “The DINK-Mobile.” And Walmart just launched what we call “Early Bird Super Delivery”: 1-hour delivery if you order before 6am — Because great businesses don’t look at what will change, they look at what *won’t* change.

Foot Locker’s in love with Nike: 60% of its sales are of things with a swoosh – But Foot Locker’s stock fell 30% yesterday because Nike’s just not that into you.

Dune: Part 2 just brought in $182M at the box office on opening weekend, but the winner was IMAX — Because regular theaters are in trouble, premium theaters ain’t. Whole Foods Market its 1st ever Bodega — Because the idea can be right even if the execution is wrong. And while tech companies continue layoffs, 1 company is hiring: The Government — We call it FedTech… and to hire up, they’re paying up.

Bitcoin surged past $60K to its highest point in 2 years — We think it’s a FOMO rally, which can quickly become a NOMO drop. Beyond Meat stock popped 30% on a surprise new customer: Europeans – Because Europeans have a better taste for sustainability than Americans do. And Teledoc, the owner of BetterHelp, just announced bummer news for investors: It’s “well-penetrated” — A small announcement like that makes a huge difference if you look 10 years out.

Kroger and Albertsons were about to merge in the biggest deal in grocery history, but the government just sued to block it — Because this year’s election will be decided in the grocery aisle. And after 10 years of developing a secret iCar, Apple is quitting — But we think Apple already owns your car (we’ll explain). Intro: Gen Z is making landlines cool again.

American Airlines increased their checked bag fee by 33%, but economics shows they should do the opposite — Airlines should kill overhead compartments… kill the carryon. Liquid Death is selling the space on their boxes as an ad to Coinbase – It’s a “tiny billboard” and it’s the dumbest idea you can think of (and that’s the point). Nvidia just announced that revenues nearly quadrupled last quarter — Because they price their chips like Hermès prices their handbags.

🤓 “Spreadsheet MVP” — Excel World Championships. Google’s App Store guilt. Hallmark’s movie monopoly.
The Hallmark Channel produced *40* new movies for this holiday season — And Hallmark’s movie biz has the greatest ROI in all of Hollywood.

👄 “SmileDirectFlub” — SmileDirectClub’s shutdown. Pinterest’s Trend Forecast. Shohei Ohtani’s $700M economy.
SmileDirectClub hit a $9B valuation by cutting out the dentalman… but it just shut down — The lesson? Some industries simply aren’t tech. And prob never will be. Pinterest uses data to predict next years trends, and they’re right 80% of the time — The 2024 predictions say we’re not waiting for milestones, we’re celebrating inch-stones. And Shohei Otani’s spot in the Dodgers lineup costs a record $700M — But the true value of Shohei Otani isn’t on the field, it’s in tourism.

We’re dropping something vacation-themed: The Best Books Yet.

But creativity at scale is what Pixar built. Nick’s pick: “Bitter Brew: The Rise & Fall of Anheuser-Busch” — The history, strategies, and family drama behind Budweiser, decades before the latest issues. It’s Succession, but real life.

💅 “A Positive Sum Game” — Barbenheimer’s precedent. Twitter’s X-out. Deodorant’s surge.
Barbie & Oppenheimer enjoyed the 4th best Box Office weekend ever — Because “Barbenheimer” reveals the power of the Positive Sum Game. Elon just erased Twitter from Twitter, it’s now called “X” — Because when you make a mistake, you X it out… literally. And the hottest-selling personal care product right now? It’s deodorant (because it’s hot) — Deodorant is taking more body share (anyone else swiping their thighs?).

Amex Platinum *was* the only credit card with its own lounge, until now — Chase launched one, because vanity is the most seductive sin. And Amazon just bought an old NASA facility in Florida to build the other AWS — Amazon Web Satellites, because Amazon thinks 20 years ahead.

🩷 “Barbie, born in 1959” — Barbie’s disruptive history. Netflix’s strike advantage. RIP Starter Homes.
Everyone’s talking about the Barbie movie, but we want to talk about the Barbie doll — Because Barbie isn’t just a doll, she was an early disruptor. Zillennial 1st-time homebuyers aren’t buying “Starter Homes,” they’re buying “Forever Homes” — The solution to our housing problem is “build baby build”. And Netflix is the best-positioned entertainment company to weather the Writers’ and Actors’ Strike — Because Netflix gave consumers more, but Hollywood less.

The Women’s World Cup kicks off Thursday in New Zealand (and Australia) — But we think the Women’s World Cup is a growth stock, while the Men’s tournament is a value stock. AT&T shares just fell to their lowest level in 30 years on a WSJ investigation into its lead cables — But the real problem for AT&T is its failed empire.

We recorded an interview in a restaurant, none other than Sweetgreen. We interviewed Nathaniel Ru, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of the billion dollar salad chain. Nathaniel tells us about: Launching a $10/bowl restaurant during a recession How he used a boombox to drive business Long-term relationships with local farmers like Firefly Farms (~15 yrs strong) The new robotic restaurant in a suburb of Chicago Best of all— his must-try salad “remix” order On a personal note, these salads were a staple of ours when we worked on Wall Street. We’d chow down on spicy broccoli and arugula, while whipping up takeaways in our early newsletter days. So it was pretty cool when we got to toss our pesto chicken parm bowls mid-interview.

BONUS #1 🔥 The Inventor of Virality: Jonah Peretti, Buzzfeed Founder & CEO
In our first TBOY interview, we chat with the Founder and CEO of Buzzfeed, Jonah Peretti. Buzzfeed was the first media company built on virality, harnessing the power of the internet to scale humor, joy, news… and a listicle on which Disney princess you are. But before Buzzfeed went public for $1.5B in 2021, Buzzfeed really began when Jonah was a student and turned a sneaker email with Nike into the 1st viral sensation. So we’re whipping up the Takeaways with Jonah on why something goes viral, what it says about our own psychology, the meaning of humor, Millennials vs Gen Z, what would surprise us about Buzzfeed, how the media industry is like a musical concert — and how he’d host a dinner sitting between Mark Zuckerberg and Rupert Murdoch.

We’re witnessing the most existential zucking of our time: Instagram is copying TikTok (and the Kardashians are really unhappy about it). For years, the only way to get Glossier’s lip gloss was at Glossier, until now — Glossier is coming to Sephora’s 2K stores. And Russia’s economy seems to be doing okay since the war started… except Russia’s economy is 1 big lie. $META $LVMUY Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram , Twitter , and Tiktok : @tboypod\ And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

And the Nobel Prize for economics just tested an ancient theory: Would a $15 minimum wage make McDonald’s lay off their burger crew? $DTC $LUV Got a SnackFact?

It’s the greatest deal of the year… that never happened: Apparently Microsoft tried (and failed) to acquire Pinterest (so we’ve got a plan for them). Goldman Sachs drops its minimum to become a client from $10M to $1K because Zillennials are its 10-year goal. And the third and final record label is about to go public. $GS $PINS $MSFT $WMG Got a SnackFact?

“FantaZillowing” — Zillow’s dating app. Fluor’s nuclear (stock) option. Disney’s athleticism+.
Zillow owns so much of the homebuying relationship, we think you should compare it to Match Group. Fluor knows nuclear plants are ridiculously expensive, so it’s whipping up a mini version that could help us fight climate change. And Disney’s already built ¾ of Netflix in just 15 months — But live sports is the ticket to beating Netflix. $Z $FLR $DIS Got a SnackFact?

“Bumble pulls an Oprah” — Bumble’s IPO. Clubhouse’s Black community. Archer’s flying robo-taxi.
Women-first dating app Bumble pulled off the double-double IPO before Valentine’s Day (but don’t call it a dating app). Clubhouse gets Kanye on-board, but we’re looking at its earliest Black community. And flying robot taxi Archer (sounds scary) shows why big companies keep their enemies close. $BMBL $ACIC $ACHR Got a SnackFact?

“UNO...the card game…the movie” — Mattel’s 25 schmoovies. Twitter’s DIY blitz. GM’s $2B mistake.
Barbie just enjoyed her best sales quarter in 6 years… Now Mattel is going full Disney with a whole new strategy. Twitter announced earnings, but we’re focused on the 5 acquisitions it’s made in 60 days. And General Motors’ stock fell 5% after admitting it’s not a computer — and admitting a $2B mistake. $MAT $TWTR $GM Got a SnackFact?

“r/Reddit$6Billion” — DoorDash’s robot salad. Hawk/Dove stimulus. Reddit valuation doubling.
Fresh after a 5-second Super Bowl ad, Reddit doubles its valuation to $6B. DoorDash just acquired a sushi and salad-making robot because it hates humans. And we’re about to get another stimulus, but it all comes down to 1 conversation between the Hawks and the Doves. $DASH Got a SnackFact?

“1 Bitcoin = 1 Model Y” — Elon’s crypto-for-cars. Hershey’s s’mores surge. Target’s $1B yoga pants.
Elon wants to trade cryptocurrency for Teslas, popping Bitcoin’s price above $45K. Hershey’s gets some investor love before Valentine’s Day thanks to the great s’mores surge. And Target’s athleisure brand hits $1B in sales because the target logo is nowhere to be seen. $BTC $TSLA $HSY $TGT Got a SnackFact?

“Canada Goose + Yeti + Resto Hardware" — The Goose’s strategic uniform. Snapchat’s augmented everything. 23andMe’s DNA SPAC.
Canada Goose shares surged because it had been forgotten by Wall Street. Snapchat collects less data on you than every other social media… because it’s betting on AR to make more money. And 23andMe is using a Hollywood SPAC to take DNA public. $GOOS $SNAP $VGAC Got a SnackFact?

“The 1st pureplay Super Bowl stock” — Apple’s iCar. Wingstop’s stock pop. End of the S.U.M.O.
Apple and Kia just took their biggest steps yet to make iCar a thing: It’s not a First Mover, it’s a Second Shaker. Wingstop’s stock popped because chicken wing prices are living their best lives for the Super Bowl. And a subtle change may mean you don’t have to be knighted to invest in big pre-IPO startups (no more SUMO’ing - straight up missing out). $WING $AAPL Send us your Black History Month SnackFact here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/edit Want a shoutout on the pod?

“Married or your money back” — Match’s dating lab. Scotts Miracle-Gro’s cannabis. Harley-Davidson’s ride-leisurewear.
Match’s experiments with Tinder in Japan reveal the dating legend’s true competitive advantage. And Scotts Miracle-Gro’s stock doubled because it’s focused on lawns and cannabis. And Harley-Davidson stock fell 20% so we came up with a turnaround plan for them (which doesn’t hate Millenials). $MTCH $SMG $HOG Send us your Black History Month Snackfact here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/edit Want a shoutout on the pod?

“Amazon’s 2nd puberty” — Bezos quits. Uber’s $1.1B Drizly drank. Why GameStop stock halted.
Jeff Bezos is stepping down as Amazon CEO because of 1 word: “yawn.” Uber splurges $1.1B for Drizly’s booze delivery because there’s an alcohol arbitrage opportunity. And GamesStop’s stock re-pop dropped, so we’re looking at why trading gets halted on stock markets. $UBER $AMZN Got a SnackFact?

“How ya like dem Apples?” — Short-selling’s Matt Damon moment. Nintendo’s 13-year record. Nike’s artful Zucking.
WallStreetBets just used American Airlines stock to get back at shorting hedge funds (we’re getting Good Will Hunting vibes). Ninendo enjoyed its best quarter in 13 years, but we think it needs to pull a disney.

We don’t usually cover a story 3 days in a row, but this is different: We’re looking at how r/wallstreetbets made the industry uncomfortable.

Beyond Meat surged 20% on word it’s partnering up with Pepsi. Reddit’s driving Gamestop, BlackBerry, and Bed Bath & Beyond stocks through “Cyber-bulling” (not cyber-bullying).
