SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A new survey suggests snacking has become a full-fledged lifestyle. Three in 5 people admit to keeping a secret snack stash somewhere in their home, most often in the bedroom. Some more unconventional places to store snacks include the garage, attic, basement, and even the bathroom. Popular “away from home” snack hiding spots include the car, office desk, a friend or family member’s home, or even a gym locker. More than half of respondents to the poll, conducted in the US, confessed they have eaten an entire bag of chips in one sitting, while 39% said they sometimes spend a whole day eating snacks, instead of proper meals. Nearly one in 5 even said they lie about what they’re snacking on to avoid judgment. Respondents snack an average of 4 times a day, and 79% consider themselves “snack people” rather than “meal people.” Many say snacking is also a social activity best enjoyed with friends.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Hacks” is going out on top. The critically acclaimed HBO Max comedy about a fading Las Vegas legend and the millennial writer who brought her career back to life garnered 24 Emmy nominations for its 5th and final season. That makes it not only the most nominated final season of a comedy in Emmys history, but the most nominated season of a comedy ever. The record was previously held by “The Bear” and “The Studio,” which both nabbed 23 noms. The Primetime Emmy Awards will air Sept. 14 on NBC.
Get ready for another dose of growl power, Cheetah Girls! Disney Channel and Disney+ have officially given the green light to a long-awaited “Cheetah Girls” franchise follow-up. The long-awaited movie will feature returns from Adrienne Bailon, Lynn Whitfield, Lori Alterand and Raven-SymonĂ©, who will pull double duty as she reprises her role as ‘Galleria “Bubbles” Garibaldi’. The Cheetah Girls film franchise, based on the book series by Deborah Gregory, is one of the most popular Disney Channel Original Movie properties.
It’s never too late to pursue your dreams — just ask Anthony Hopkins. The 88-year-old actor released his debut single, the orchestral piano piece ‘Bracken Road’ on Friday, and it’s set to be featured on his forthcoming full-length album. Hopkins’ album “Life Is a Dream” will be released on Aug. 21, and it’s set to feature a collection of songs he composed over 6 decades. Hopkins, who’s known for his roles in blockbuster films “The Silence of the Lambs” and “The Remains of the Day”, started playing piano at age 4. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4m4f98e3

OF THE DAY
• 45% of people admit they’ve forgotten to cancel a free streaming trial before getting charged.
Earlier, it was announced that the startup Slate is marketing a "no frills" electric pickup truck, that will sell for just $25K. Well, if that idea isn't bare-bones enough for you, try this one on for size: Fiat is bringing one of its smallest vehicles to the US -- the all-electric, 2-seat Topolino starts at about $14,000 and is aimed at short trips in beach towns, resorts, retirement communities and neighborhoods -- and definitely not highways. Measuring just 8 feet (2.4m) long, the tiny EV tops out at 19mph (31kph), and get this: an optional upgrade boosts it to 25mph (40kph) for use on certain public roads. One quirky "Dolce Vita" version even replaces traditional doors with…rope barriers. With a range of about 46 miles (74km), Fiat hopes the pint-sized Topolino will win over drivers looking for an affordable, fun alternative to golf carts and oversized vehicles.

WEIRD NEWS
A U.S. judge has ruled that United Airlines must face a lawsuit from passengers who say they paid extra for window seats…that had no windows. The proposed class action claims travelers on some Boeing 737, Boeing 757 and Airbus A321 aircraft were seated beside blank cabin walls, thanks to the design of the plane, but they weren’t informed of this when they booked their so-called “window seats”. United argued a “window seat” simply describes its position next to the cabin wall, not a guaranteed outside view. The judge disagreed that the case should be dismissed, allowing it to move forward. The lawsuit seeks millions of dollars in damages on behalf of more than one million passengers.
