Notes from Chris
Episode 1482
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from a woman in Iowa who has sold 26,000 scrunchies. Research shows that in households with scrunchie wearers, approximately 26,000 of them can be found lying around under the bed and in couch cushions. Three or four weeks ago in this series, we did headbands, now we’re back with scrunchies. Next week: hair ribbons! Listen to today's episode to hear Kristin's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
