That said, this café apparently sold the highest-priced Starbucks menu item globally in 2022. You might ask yourself: What luxurious, decadent, brightly colored, hyper-flavorful, blended monstrosity could be the most expensive Starbucks menu item in the world? AdvertisementBehold, the most expensive Starbucks menu drink worldwide as of 2022! The study found the world's second-most expensive Starbucks menu item was Denmark's chocolate-cream Frappuccino, which sounds unique and interesting.

☆ A 32-year-old made an extra $9,000 in 5 months by posting Amazon reviews as a side hustle. She shares how to qualify your posts for commission and the top 5 tips to maximize earnings.

Butterfield gave up on finding additional gigs until she began seeing posts on TikTok about how others were earning commissions from posting review videos on Amazon. She then posted three video reviews, which is the number required by Amazon to get accepted for the on-site commission program. Most of the products she reviews fall into three categories: low-ticket items under $50, high-ticket items over $100, and trending or seasonal items. This is very important because if there are multiple review videos for a product, the last video watched before a purchase is what earns the commission. One thing to note is that trending products can die down quickly.

☆ Here's what holiday burnout does to your body and how to protect yourself against it
▼ + stars: | 2023-12-11 | by ( Nandini Maharaj | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Holiday burnout is a term that describes "the mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion that someone can experience during or after the holiday season," Michelle Felder, founder and CEO of Parenting Pathfinders, told Insider. It's important to be proactive since burnout can lead to lasting changes in how your body responds to stress. For advice, I asked therapists about the signs of holiday burnout and what you can do to prevent it from ruining the festivities. With repeated and prolonged exposure to stress, your body has a harder time recovering from the fight or flight response. When you're constantly rushed, it can be challenging to "enjoy holiday activities and events that you used to look forward to," Appleton said.

The complaint resembles another wrongful death suit filed earlier this year by the parents of Sarah Katz, a 21-year-old woman who died in September 2022 after drinking Panera’s charged lemonade. “Panera Charged Lemonade is a juice beverage marketed to children and adults alike,” the suit claims. Katz, who died last year, may have believed the caffeinated drink was regular lemonade, her parents alleged in the suit they filed against Panera. Now, a 30-ounce charged Panera drink has no more than 237 milligrams of caffeine, according to Panera’s site.

REUTERS/Amr Alfiky Acquire Licensing RightsJAKARTA, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Indonesia will declare its interest to football's world governing body FIFA in jointly holding the 2025 Under-20 World Cup with Singapore, its president said on Monday, despite his country being stripped of the hosting rights to this year's tournament. Indonesia staged this year's U-17 contest, which concluded on Saturday, with Germany beating France on penalties. "The declaration of interest has been signed by PSSI and football association of Singapore," he told reporters, referring to Indonesia's football federation. Muslim-majority Indonesia was in March stripped of the rights to host the U-20 contest just seven weeks out from its start due to opposition from some government officials to the participation of Israel. The loss of hosting rights was a big setback in Indonesia, where football has a huge following, despite the lack of international success since qualifying for the 1938 World Cup as the Dutch East Indies.

ATLANTA (AP) — Fourteen U.S. cities will play host to Copa América next summer, with the semifinals at East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Charlotte, North Carolina, ahead of the July 14 championship in Miami Gardens, Florida. The semifinals will be in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on July 9 and Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium the next day. This will be only the second time Copa América has been held outside of South America since the inaugural tournament in 1916. Except for the Centenario tournament, Copa América hosting duties usually have rotated among the 10 COMNEBOL nations in South America. They are: MetLife Stadium, Hard Rock Stadium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Levi's Stadium, SoFi Stadium, AT&T Stadium, NRG Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium.

She listened to her players and what they wanted from the league, including a higher salary cap, but knew she couldn't meet all of their needs. One partner, Deloitte, overhauled the WNBA's app, for example. The current rights deal for the WNBA, which is coming off its largest regular-season viewership in more than two decades, runs through 2025. The mid-season Commissioner's Cup is sponsored by league partner Coinbase. The streaming app WNBA League Pass also brought in viewership, as did deals with Meta and YouTube.

[1/5] A woman sits on a swing attached to a giant sign of McDonald's, outside its themed exhibition in Beijing, China December 4, 2023. One advantage for McDonald’s: its majority partner in the China business, CITIC, provides top-level political cover, said Jason Yu, greater China managing director of market research firm Kantar Worldpanel. McDonald's China, Carlyle Group and CITIC declined to comment. Other consumer-facing U.S. firms, including Starbucks (SBUX.O), Apple (AAPL.O), Coach owner Tapestry (TPR.N) and sportswear giant Nike (NKE.N), have remained similarly dedicated to the China market. Although the McDonald's China menu would be familiar to U.S. consumers, there are nods to local tastes, including taro pie, rather than apple.
