I smell banana bread in a lot of customers’ future.
Grocery app header notice that says “important update. Bananas are now sold as a bunch (5 to 7 bananas) for pickup and delivery.”

Yes? No I mean … No?
Error dialog titled “OH NO!” with the text “The network connection was cost.” The buttons are labeled “YES” and “NO.”

Since the big text didn’t adequately warn me, I propose there should be a consumer safety rule requiring a checkbox at checkout “warning: this product is known to the government to infect your house with glitter. Are you sure?” for anything containing the contagion. @cpsc.gov who is working on this?

It’s fine. The label writing lawyers have me in good hands.

I don’t know why you would say that. 😂 (There was a thunderstorm alert or some such on this day.)

For realism IKEA has used white out to correct the kid’s name on this demo award.
A sports award certificate in a frame. It was awarded to “Jaycee Jones.” The first three letters of the name have white out under them. On the left is an IKEA price tag for the frame.

I think it’s time to bring the hot hands inside. And maybe refresh the sign.
A sign says “free snacks for anyone! We appreciate you! Happy holidays!” Behind it is an almost empty box of Hot Hands hand warmers. And a box of chocolates. It is outside, in front of a house.
