Lightbulb Moment: Pulses are demonstrating Ricochet behavior. A Ricochet occurs when a trend jumps tracts or moves into a new territory suddenly. First, they showed up in bowls, wraps, salads, and side dishes, then on to chips, bars, and cereal, next was beverages and as flours outright. They are fabulous but their biggest detractor is their personality. They are humble. They can easily play the part of the leading lady but instead assume the part of the best friend.
