A certain royal has a vintage car that runs on wine and cheese, and Starbucks may be doing something different with its ice

The long weekend is almost here, and what better way to spend this leisurely time than reading some really weird stuff retailers have been up to in the past few days? No need to answer; we know there’s no better way.

This week, a British royal family member seems to own a very expensive and very vintage car that runs purely on wine and cheese. And hundreds of thousands of waffle makers are being recalled for a…pretty specific reason.

• King Charles’s Aston Martin runs on surplus English white wine and cheese.
• Starbucks is introducing “chewable nugget ice pellets” in its drinks this year.
• About 456,000 waffle makers are being recalled for potential burn risks.

Our loyal newsletter readers might have caught a spicy bit of news in our Friday, May 25, edition about a frozen yogurt chain that partnered with Mad Dog hot sauce to host a competition where people who can drink an entire bottle of the hot sauce in one sitting win a year’s supply of frozen yogurt. OK, we love both frozen yogurt and hot sauce, but drinking an entire bottle in one sitting? Not sure it’s worth a visit to the ER.
