In a (not so) shocking turn of events, The Inspired Unemployed’s Matt Ford and Jack Steele are once again officially unemployed. After just a few weeks as Chief Gummies Officers at Swisse, the duo have announced their retirement from the role, “because the current Swisse Gummies range already slays.”
Unfortunately, that does mean that you won’t be getting your hands on the Swisse Instant Rizz Gummies Ford and Steele launched during their tenure, appealing as they sounded. While the new product had definite promise, purporting to give those who took them five times more charm and instant rizz, it turns out the boys cut some corners in the product development stage, and the Gummies failed to meet Swisse’s rigorous standards.

Unlike Swisse's other Gummies products, which blend fun AND functionality, the Instant Rizz Gummies were definitely more fun than functional—a problem which drove the Inspired Unemployed to reflect on their role within the company and ultimately chose to step back from full-time employment.
Though the team have consciously uncoupled from Swiss, Nick Mann, the companies Regional CEO, said, "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Inspired Unemployed for their time and contributions during their brief tenure at Swisse. While the Swisse Instant Rizz Gummies may not have met our rigorous product development standards, nor our stringent regulatory guidelines, we have appreciated their unique and creative approach. We wish Matt and Jack all the very best as they return to their roots of, well... unemployment."
