☆ Why Costco uses curiously large packaging for tiny products
  + stars: | 2023-02-26 | by ( Dominick Reuter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The ideal Costco packaging dimensions allow the company to ship, stock, and sell more efficiently. "If you walk through health and beauty, you will see a lot of [items] in that kind of envelope, so that is the very ideal Costco size." "Having $20,000 in high-end face cream on the pallet on the floor isn't good business," Carrier said. Big packaging lets suppliers ship a more manageable number of items to a Costco warehouse using the requisite pallet system. Carrier's company, Berkley, even specializes in helping Costco suppliers break a single tightly-packed container of imported goods into as many as ten trucks loaded with dozens of presentable palletized displays.

SHEFFIELD, England, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Premier League high-flyers Newcastle United were shocked by third-tier Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday as they suffered a 2-1 away defeat to crash out of the FA Cup in the third round.

"It's one of the proudest moments in my managerial career to date," Wednesday manager Darren Moore told the BBC. Newcastle manager Howe highlighted that he thought his team should've made the most of the chances they created. "We have to accept the defeat and Sheffield Wednesday battled for everything, as we did, but it wasn’t to be."
☆ ‘America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation’ Review: Tinkering With the Ingredients

The universe won’t collapse because of what happens on a cooking show, but “America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation” is symptomatic of larger disturbances in the force of food TV—including creative stasis, casual shoplifting of ideas and the fact that too many borrowed ideas can spoil a perfectly presentable broth. The taste-test segment involves familiar brands available at a local supermarket and end in some surprising results. (Hershey’s wins the cocoa-powder faceoff again!) Among its “flaws” is a menu that’s anachronistically meat-centric and on-air talent who are on air because of their food knowledge, not their media training. Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collin Davison are the no-nonsense hosts-chefs; the taste-test guy, Jack Bishop , is reassuringly uncomfortable at being on TV at all; equipment assessor Adam Ried is burly, affable and you believe what he tells you.

Having not found a tenant, he put the rental on Airbnb – within days he made thousands in bookings. Luke now runs his Airbnb business full time and has 134 properties across the UK and Dubai. The plan was to make enough money sourcing deals to invest in my own property to rent for passive income. I found a property owner who had gone into mortgage arrears and no longer wanted to manage her property. The plan was to rent it to a tenant and pay rent and pay back my debt.
