So Red Bull doesn't actually 'give you wings'

Anyone who's bought a can of Red Bull in the US is entitled to cash as a lawsuit finds the drink doesn't really "give you wings."

In many parts of the world, watching a movie still comes with a built-in break. Cinemas in countries such as Iceland, Switzerland, Egypt, Turkey, and India often pause films midway for an intermission, especially during longer movies.

Usually lasting around 10 to 15 minutes, the break gives audiences time to use the restroom, grab snacks, stretch their legs, or chat before the second half begins.

In India especially, the interval remains a familiar part of the moviegoing experience, keeping cinema trips relaxed, social, and a little old-fashioned.

Sweden has become so effective at managing waste that it actually imports trash from other European countries to help supply its waste-to-energy facilities. Instead of sending most household garbage to landfills, Sweden recycles a large share and burns much of the remainder in specialized plants that generate electricity and district heating.
As a result, only a tiny percentage of the country’s household waste ends up buried in landfills.

The system also allows Sweden to charge other countries for processing some of their waste, turning unwanted garbage into both energy and economic value.

Waste incineration isn’t pollution-free it still produces carbon emissions and requires careful management but Sweden’s approach shows how waste that might otherwise sit in landfills can be used as a resource.

Fate has its way ....

The Pink Broccoli story in New Zealand follows Auckland chef Navseerat Kaur (Nav), whose dream of owning a cafe came true when British entrepreneur Simon Squibb gifted her roughly $50,000 to $70,000 NZD to buy and launch the venue after trying her cooking.

Kaur's dream became a reality after a chance encounter with global influencer Simon Squibb. The founder of HelpBnk.com, Squibb has gained a following of over six million on Instagram and over eight million on TikTok, and after a successful career as an entrepreneur, has since made the dreams of many others come true. Most of the time, these are people he has never met before.

After being impressed with Kaur’s culinary creations, Squibb (who lives in the UK and was on holiday in New Zealand at the time) gifted her NZD 50,000 to open her own restaurant and is not asking for it back.

Kaur said Squibb was only there to have lunch with his family, and it was a busy Saturday, meaning she was playing waitress as well as chef.

And nek minute (well, nek day) - a dream became real.
