Mars has announced it will be bringing out 'healthier' versions of its classic chocolate bars, including Bounty, Snickers and Galaxy. The changes are being made in order to keep up with potential new UK regulations on unhealthy food . The bars are reportedly set to be made out of date paste, peanuts, and raisins, but still covered with chocolate, according to LadBible . The confectionery giant will release a new 'Triple Treat' range of healthier chocolate bars in June so that they can be seen in prominent areas of shops amidst government proposals to tackle obesity . It is expected that new legislation will be brought in soon that sees the promotion of snacks that are high in fat, sugar and salt restricted. It's also though that shops will be forced to end promotions such as ‘buy one get one free’ or ‘three for two’ promotions on similar goods. Promotions that aren’t as healthy will also reportedly have to be moved out of key locations in shops, such as next to … [Read more...] about Mars releasing ‘healthier’ chocolate bars as ‘fattier versions to become less visible’

Who is Billy McFarland and where is he now?
THE FYRE Festival ordeal is a scandal that rocked the online world. The man behind the con, Billy McFarland, was sentenced to six years behind bars in 2018, but released on May 18, 2022, more than two years ahead of time. Who is Billy McFarland? Billy McFarland, 30, is a convicted fraudster, best known for co-founding the infamous Fyre Festival . In 2013, McFarland founded a card-based social club named Magnises using $1.5 million of investor funding. After that, he set up Fyre Media along with rapper Ja Rule , which then founded its own festival. The business was a con from the start. In a term sheet sent to investors, Fyre Media claimed to be worth $90 million, despite the fact it had only done $60,000 in business.

“People over profits”: Internet delights at rare celebratory business sign
Members of a popular internet forum were left grinning after one Wisconsin bar showed their unwavering support for a pair of soon-to-be married employees. In a viral Reddit post published on r/MadeMeSmile, Redditor u/Paleo_Fecest (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) shared a photo of a sign presumably posted in the bar's front window, sparking a sea of positive interaction. "SATURDAY JUNE 18TH WE WILL BE CLOSED," the sign reads. "TWO OF OUR LONG TIME EMPLOYEES ARE GETTING MARRIED! WE WILL BE TAKING THE DAY OFF TO CELEBRATE THE SPECIAL DAY WITH THEM." "SORRY FOR ANY [INCONVENIENCE] THIS MAY CAUSE," the sign continues. Titled, "Saw posted on the door of a local bar/restaurant," the viral post including the sign has received more than 48,000 votes and 95 percent upvotes in the last day. Since April 2021, more American employees have quit their job than at any other point in U.S. history. Amid the mass-quitting movement dubbed the Great Resignation, more … [Read more...] about “People over profits”: Internet delights at rare celebratory business sign

THEY quit Britain to protect their privacy, so of course, Prince Harry and Meghan will soon be opening their doors to TV cameras in a Kardashian-style show. The Netlfix series, which The Sun first revealed two years ago, is no surprise. In fact, Meghan has been Keeping Up With The Kardashians ever since she and Harry moved to the States in 2020 and is increasingly morphing into the ubiquitous Kim.

Surprise surprise, the NHS has spent its windfall on yet more waste and wokery
The phone must have woken me. I reached out a bleary hand for it and saw the time: 3.04am. A text had just arrived from Sophie. She said she was in Accident & Emergency with Freddie, aged 19 months, who had a raging ear infection (a recurring condition) and, just to add to the fun, this time he had a swollen penis as well. “We’ve been here for six-and-a-half hours. It’s unreal,” Sophie said. “Go to the desk right NOW and tell them your baby has a fever and needs to be seen,” I typed furiously. “I did,” Sophie replied. “They said it could be a 12-hour wait.” The previous afternoon Sophie had Googled “baby with swollen penis” and read that it was “very important to see your GP”. She drove to the surgery with Freddie and banged on the door. The surgery was deserted. Eventually, a doctor wearing full PPI appeared, opened the door and asked Sophie: “What are you doing here?” “My baby’s got a temperature and there is pus coming out of his…” “Go home, and call 111,” said the GP, … [Read more...] about Surprise surprise, the NHS has spent its windfall on yet more waste and wokery
Jamie Oliver wants to ban cheap junk food deals during a cost of living crisis? Frankly, he can BOGOF
I’ve always had my doubts about Jamie Oliver’s ideas for tackling obesity. Back in 2015 he argued that fizzy drinks should carry a label saying how many teaspoons of sugar they contain. He believed this would encourage shoppers to buy the drinks that contained the least sugar. Really? I’d have thought it would be the other way round. “Ooh, look at this label. You get a lot more sugar for your money with Coca-Cola. This Dr Pepper’s only got six teaspoons; what a rip-off.” I mean, that’s pretty much how I buy wine. “This bottle’s only 12 per cent ABV, whereas this other one’s 14.5 per cent. Bargain.” But Oliver is nothing if not persistent. Three years later, at a parliamentary select committee, he told MPs that, instead of Frosties, Tony the Tiger should be used to promote healthier cereals like Shreddies and Weetabix. A lovely thought. The only problem is, Tony the Tiger is a registered trademark of Kellogg’s, whereas Shreddies is made by Nestlé and Weetabix is made by Weetabix … [Read more...] about Jamie Oliver wants to ban cheap junk food deals during a cost of living crisis?

How Angela Rayner became a force to be reckoned with
When she appeared on the Matt Forde podcast in January, the most interesting thing Angela Rayner said wasn’t about the length of her skirt or the crossing and uncrossing of her legs in the House of Commons. Although she did banter with the Left-wing comedian about “the meme about Sharon Stone” that had been doing the rounds, the most telling part of the interview came at the beginning when she was announced as “the most powerful woman in the Labour Party”. Striding onto the stage at the Duchess Theatre in Covent Garden, where the podcasts are recorded in front of an audience, she joked: “I said he had to introduce me like that or I wouldn’t come on.” Like everything the 42-year-old deputy Labour leader says in jest, there appeared to be an element of truth to it. Later revealing how, “God, yeah”, she’d love to be prime minister one day, it is perhaps little wonder that this teenage mother turned political powerhouse is fast emerging as one of the Opposition’s best hopes of … [Read more...] about How Angela Rayner became a force to be reckoned with
