Why this matters

Leadership changes on AI search are not driven by retail share or paid media — they are driven by citation pool quality. The brand whose sources the AI engines read most heavily wins, regardless of who sells more units. Yoga Bar's rise above The Whole Truth marks a structural shift in which third-party reviewers, ranking sites, and forums the AI surfaces are reading.

For brand teams in healthy snacking & breakfast: this is a citation-pool problem, not a brand-awareness problem.
