Brown liquor is having a moment

Daiquiris, Pina Coladas, Mojitos. It's no secret that many of Americans' favorite summer drinks involve rum, and HundredX data confirms it.

Journalist Elyse Glickman talks rum in a major April feature in Bar & Restaurant News, and draws on HundredX insights to highlight how rum Consumption Intent tends to spike in warm weather months.

Glickman quotes HundredX’s Vice President of Strategy, Andre Benjamin, who notes that "rum has strong ties to warm weather and tropical drinks." However, he noted that HundredX data suggests people feel their favorite rum brands are becoming harder to find, and suggested bars and restaurants keep track of their stocks.

Consumer spending muted amid rising prices

November 7, 2024

Consumers are navigating still-high prices with resilience. HundredX analysis, based on millions of pieces of customer feedback from July 2021 through April 2023 across 3,200+ companies, indicates inflation remains persistent, but consumers are cautiously hanging on. New Consumer Price Index (CPI) data shows prices increased 3.4% in April from a year ago, compared to 3.5% in March, which highlights a slight easing in inflation month-to-month. Still, HundredX data shows that consumers still feel negative about prices in general, pointing to inflation’s stickiness and consumer frustrations over the consistently high prices of everyday goods. Generally, we’ve seen that changes to HundredX’s Price favorability index are typically inversely correlated with movement in the CPI levels (i.e., inflation) reported by the US government.
