Redbox DVD kiosk owner Chicken Soup for the Soul files for bankruptcy

8 comments

1. TIL chicken soup for the soul owned Redbox.

2. I thought redbox had been just an app for years, all the kiosks by me went away ages ago

3. That’s the stupidest company name I’ve ever heard, no surprise on bankruptcy.

4. They bought Redbox in 2022… we are fully moved on to streaming and away from DVD’s. I could’ve told them this was a bad business deal lol

5. They were really popular books in the 90’s. Like WIDELY popular.

6. Maybe the Dummies books series can buy the Chicken Soup thing and make Chicken Soup for Dummies Souls and bounce back. Maybe eat a little themselves, too.

7. Weirdest corporate arc in history and a demonstration of how much money you can make telling people things they want to hear.

8. This made me lol. Chicken soup for the soul also has a pet food line which has always baffled my brain. Rest in confusion, most random conglomerate of all time 🫡
