With Cyber Monday over and done with, you might be dealing with some “buyer’s remorse”, and plan to send back a few – or a few dozen – of your online purchases. It turns out that these days, so many online shoppers are returning their packages that many retailers say they’ve been forced to adjust their return policies. An estimated 44% of retailers now charge customers a fee to ship something back, up from 33% in 2021. And it makes sense, because processing costs companies money…plain and simple. But it isn’t all bad news for companies accepting returns. Call it “Girl Math” if you like, but a Harvard Business Review study found that consumers are more likely to spend refunded money than they would a bonus or unexpected cash they found — because most people see the money they receive from a return as “already lost”. The researchers recommend to retailers that they offer store credit or exchanges in order to hopefully avoid giving you your money back.

There
is a right way and a wrong way to eat Pringles chips. While you may
be tempted to pop the canister open and place the concave side of the
chip (Which faces down in the container) on your tongue, according to
TikTok user @cookinhungry, snack lovers should place the top of the
Pringle — the side facing upwards in the can — on their tongue,
since most of the seasoning is distributed on that side. In 2017,
Pringles stated that only the top of the chips are dusted with
flavoring, and the bottom is only seasoned by coming into contact
with the top of the chip stacked beneath it. However, they also said:
“There’s no wrong way to eat Pringles!” LINK:

Timothée Chalamet’s highly-anticipated “Charlie and the Charlie Factory” prequel musical “Wonka” has finally been unveiled to critics, and first reactions are that it is a “winning confection” and “an instant holiday classic.” Wonka, directed by “Paddington” filmmaker Paul King, casts Chalamet as a younger iteration of the famous chocolatier. The film is set years before Wonka opens his chocolate factory and follows the young man as he fights to open his first shop. Critic Courtney Howard wrote “Wonka” is “a winning confection, filled with perfect amounts of charm, whimsy & poignancy”, and called Chalamet “a charisma factory”. Gizmodo called Chalamet infinitely charming & a blast to watch,” but added: “The movie around him isn’t as good but it’s enjoyable.” Wonka opens Dec. 8.
Mark Cuban plans to leave “Shark Tank” after more than a decade on the ABC pitch show. The owner of the Dallas Mavericks said “it’s time” on the podcast “All the Smoke”, specifying that he wants “to have a couple summers with my teens before they go off on their own.” Cuban told Forbes on Monday that he’s “still got a whole new season to shoot” of the show, so his departure wouldn’t be until Season 16 ends in 2025. No official word from ABC. The current lineup of “sharks” is Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec.
Mark Cuban already has a name in mind to fill his seat on “Shark Tank”. The Dallas Mavs owner, who just announced that he has sold his majority interest in the team, and announced that he is leaving the ABC series after over 10 years, said his top pick is Emma Grede. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because she is the co-founder of Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS and Khloe Kardashian’s Good American brands. She’s also served as a recurring shark since 2021, making her the first Black woman investor on the show. Speaking with TMZ, Cuban said she is “insanely good.”

I just read that a Galapagos tortoise once fathered over 800 offspring.
McDonald’s has announced it is making major changes to its burgers, including the use of brioche buns. Back in April, the restaurant promised pillowy buns, perfectly melted cheese – plus perfectly cooked patties. And now we have the details. By early next year, customers at all US McDonald’s locations can expect not only the brioche buns, but more sauce on Big Macs, fresher-tasting onions lettuce and pickles, and meltier cheese. The restaurant also promised that just 6 patties will be grilled at a time, rather than 8. With fewer patties, the auto-cooking mechanism will apply less pressure, which will reportedly result in juicier burgers. Sesame seeds will be spaced further apart, as well.

A 28-year-old spent $20,000 creating an ’80s Barbie-themed apartment – then decided to do the same to her new house. Hannah Dahl was trying out different colors on her home in LA when she painted the wall pink and had an “epiphany”, inspiring her to spend a year creating a whimsical, Barbie-inspired design. When she and her husband relocated to Guthrie, Oklahoma, she began painting every room pink and sourcing vintage finds – such as a heart-shaped bath tub – for the 2-bedroom “Barbie Dream House”. Her love for pink is also evident in her dress sense, and she also loves wearing princess dresses and vintage outfits – to match her house. She says the color pink “Feels so me”. Her husband? They are also working on building him a mancave.
