 Hear the surprising stories behind the brands you know
You've heard of TGI Fridays.
Did you know it might have helped your parents get frisky?
Yup. (Sorry!)
It was the hotspot in Manhattan for young 20-somethings in the 1960s to go out and meet each other, kind of like the retail industry's version of Tinder. It was not at all the family restaurant staple you find in America's malls today.
This is just one of the first stories you'll hear on the new Business Insider podcast, launched today, called "Household Name." The show premieres today on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and all your favorite podcast apps.
With "Household Name," Business Insider's reporters and producers travel the nation to bring you the little-known stories behind some of the best-known brands.
We visit the last remaining Blockbuster Videos in Alaska. We speak to the Starbucks employee who invented the Pumpkin Spice Latte. And we learn how Donald and Ivana Trump once saved Pizza Hut's stuffed-crust pizza.
The show's host and mastermind is Dan Bobkoff, Business Insider's executive producer. He's fascinated by how consumers know so little about the brands that dominate our lives.
"They're where we work, and shop, where we make things. They're where many difficult and important moments happen in our lives. Really, most of your life is navigated through brands," Bobkoff says.
"So on this show, we'll find the surprising tales behind America's biggest companies, and how they changed our lives."
