> anything doubles in sales for 6 straight years I think this kind of article is warranted.
If they started at 1 sale the first year they would be at 64 sales. No matter where they started they doubling every year for 6 years is 64x (2^6) sales.
64x sales over 6 years is great if you're an investor, but it isn't news.
Inability to buy one means they are having trouble with production.
You can bet it is doing more than 2x this year with great sales copy in the NYT.
I think you should just do it. This is an article about a kitchen appliance and how the guy gave away 200 units and used Amazon Fulfillment to grow his company.

Yes they can't make enough of them even though they are doubling production every year.

Good point. I actually unsubscribed previously because of their "native advertising" policy (and then resubscribed in the last year or so).

The point I was trying to make in the first post was that doubling sales/production/anything else every year for six years doesn't mean a whole lot without seeing year 1.
1) If they doubled production every year for 5 years maybe they should have had extra capacity for year 6.
2) If year 1 they sold 1 unit then this year they sold on the order of 64 (obviously minimal). If year 1 they sold 100 units then this year they sold on the order of 6400. From a production standpoint that is not a difficult task.
I was just disappointed that NYT ran what is essentially a corporate PR puff piece as a "news" article.

Makes me want to cancel my NYT subscription.
