The convenience snack is still a single, not a sharing bag
The customer is already on the lot. The bag has to be eaten one-handed.
June 25, 2026 — Convenience snack buying is an interrupt. The customer stopped for fuel or a drink. The item that earns the facing is the one that can be eaten with one hand before the next exit. A sharing bag built for a couch does not become a convenience item because the brand has a national share number.
Pack size, price ladder, and messiness decide the set. Heat on a forecourt lot punishes a coating that survives a grocery aisle. Buyers who reset a four-foot impulse run off a center-store ranking will fill it with destination product and then wonder why the turn died.
This desk will keep those meetings separate. Impulse is one purchase order. A club pack is another. They can share a supplier. They should not share a shelf.
