Another week, and another series of retailers doing some really weird stuff. But don’t worry; you don’t need to go look. As usual, we’ve put it all together for you, because who doesn’t love a little bit of weird retail news to kick off their weekend?
- H&H Bagels is selling a unique “tax-free” bagel—from now through Tax Day—that comes stuffed with cream cheese to skirt New York’s infamous “bagel tax.”
- A fortune cookie maker is using ChatGPT to write up the “unique” tiny sticker messages that come in the cookies.
- Oscar Mayer is offering couples hoping to elope to Las Vegas the opportunity to tie the knot at its Wienermobile of Love, a 27-foot-long vehicle shaped like its famous hot dog.
Newsletter readers who caught our Friday, April 14, edition will remember a tidbit about San Pellegrino teaming up with Tito’s and Jack Daniel’s for a line of sparkling canned cocktails, which if you scrolled all the way to the end, you’ll know isn’t true at all (only in our wildest summer dreams). If you too liked the idea, mix one up yourself! You don’t even have to credit us for the recipe.—JS
