People Are Drinking Cicada Shots

Cicada-infused shots are a thing now.

Cicadas are everywhere.  Even in drinks.

There’s a bar in chicago that sells shots of Malört – a suburban chicago liqueur – infused with cicadas!  They make sure to put one in your drink too, because you’re supposed to eat it.

You do you, but I’d rather chug an entire bottle of tequila than take the tiniest sip of this abomination!

“Luxury” You Won’t Give Up

Kevin…

Stuff is expensive these days and most of us are finding ways to save a buck. Cutting back on things. Not eating out as much and skimping on certain grocery items. We used to go to dinner every Friday night, but now we do it maybe twice a month. I don’t do much online shopping these days either. It’s too easy to buy stuff I don’t really need.

There are some things though, I just have to have. Name brand peanut butter. Skippy or Peter Pan. Toilet paper is another one. Don’t give me that bargain paper. I need the good stuff. I’ve been cutting back some on the snack foods. I can handle the off brand chips and sweet stuff, except I have to have real Doritos. There’s no substitute!

There s one thing I don’t want to skimp on though, and that’s my TV watching. My wife and I love binge watching a lot of different shows and movies. Call us lazy, but that’s what we like to do. There are so many good shows on all the different streaming apps and we have out favorites. We’ve cut the chord a couple of times but we always come back. We can’t help it. We were born in the TV generation. Is there a so called “luxury” item you can’t live without? Let us know on our socials or leave us a voice message from the 987TheDove app. That’s free, by the way.

AI Smart Carts Are Coming

More and more things are either “Smart” or AI and we can add grocery carts to that list now!

Say goodbye to that regular old shopping cart you used to push around at the grocery store.  AI Smart Carts could be next.

These things have a touch screen to help with your grocery list, a scanner to keep track of everything, and a scale to weigh your produce!  Oh, and if you wanna skip the checkout line, go ahead and pay with your cart!

@rachel.mburns Absolutely loving these smart carts #shoprite #groceryshopping #groceryhaul #mealprep #smartcart #viralfood ♬ Pretty girls here – Jaz

I don’t have any problems with our regular carts (except for when people don’t put them back in the parking lot!), but these things looks pretty cool.  If they can find a way to lower our grocery bills, I’ll be totally onboard with them!
