Well-known food brands are losing consumers, according to reports

HOUSTON (KIAH) – Consumers are voting with their wallets and some of America’s best-known food brands are losing. In the company’s latest earnings reports, coffee drinkers are leaving Starbucks’ loyalty program. Chips Ahoy cookies persist longer on grocery store shelves. Fewer customers are ordering at drive-thrus and fast-food kiosks, putting pressure on companies such as Wendy’s and McDonald’s. Prices for products ranging from hamburgers to mayonnaise are still much higher than before.
