I shit you not, this is the copy from the lead slide for that portion of the deck:

"Welcome to pleasure-seeking 2.0 – living your best life collecting experiences that make the soul sing. For gamers it is VR headsets that open their eyes and mind. For foodies, food isn't just fuel, it's a fullon adventure, with people chasing street food treasures. Real excitement is now found by stumbling upon a hidden waterfall during a hike or finding underground music festivals. The common theme is creating “pinch me” memories."
