Whether it be Trader Joe's Garlic Dip Spread, or the overpriced but very delicious Karam's, or even Heinz brand I'll eat the entire thing with some warm pita and be farting for hours.

WHO IS PHASEBYTE?
PhaseByte is the creative outlet for two engineers in Alberta, Canada. Started during the pandemic, PhaseByte began by selling mousepads. Specifically the Peak Collection, a set of 7 digital art pieces inspired by the rocky mountains. Quickly inspired by the world of mechanical keyboards, PhaseByte set out to make a mechanical keyboard. Finally, we believe the PhaseOne is ready for production.

Amazon owns Prime and MGM+ which owns a ton of old school movie companies
Comcast owns Peacock, Dreamworks, Universal Pictures and a ton of old school networks such as NBC, as well as a bunch of music companies.
Disney owns Lucas, Hulu and just about everything else.
Discovery owns a bunch of small and large cable channels and their own streaming service.
I suspect it will settle into 2 or 3 major leagues plus a low end provider such as Netflix.
Which out of all of these is most likely to bring back FIREFLY... ?
