SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
With Pumpkin Spice Latte season heating up (or cooling down?), a new analysis of 14 seasonal drinks from Starbucks and Costa in the UK found that 10 of them contained more than 30 grams of sugar. That’s roughly the amount in Britain’s DAILY guideline for sugar (In the US, the daily guideline in 50g). And the biggest offender wasn’t even pumpkin spice: Costa’s Maple Hazel Hot Chocolate had 456 calories and 54 grams of sugar, about 13 teaspoons. Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino came in at 368 calories and 47 grams of sugar. The lightest option was an Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte at 192 calories. So yes, fall has officially arrived – in your coffee cup AND your calorie count.

The volume of reality TV production in Los Angeles has been falling over the last 5 years, and the situation is set to worsen as one of the biggest music competition shows is set to leave the city. “American Idol” is moving production from Los Angeles to the Atlanta area. The ABC show is moving production for its upcoming Season 25, which premieres in the new year. One of the main reasons for the move is the fact that Georgia offers up to a 30% tax credit for unscripted and reality TV productions that spend at least $500,000 in the state.
Netflix has announced its limited series “The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey” will premiere on Dec. 10, and has released a first look photo of Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen as Patsy and John Bennett Ramsey. The series explores the unsolved murder of JonBenét, who died Christmas night in 1996. Her body was found in the basement of her family’s house just hours after she was reported missing, sparking public outrage and speculation. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/bdzj695r

Did You Know... Ocean tides are caused mainly by the Moon's gravity. The Sun also plays a role, and together they create the familiar rise and fall of sea levels each day.

OF THE DAY
16% of people say they drink alcohol often or very often.
And just like that, getting buried in a blizzard sounds like a career opportunity. New Yorkers can now get paid up to $45 an hour to shovel snow this winter. Mayor Zohran Mamdani says the city has raised the emergency snow-shoveling rate to $30 an hour – and that jumps to $45 after 40 hours in a week. That’s up from $19.14 last winter. More than 7,800 people signed up last year, helping clear 135,000 crosswalks, 34,000 bus stops and 29,000 fire hydrants during record snowfall. This year, registration starts earlier, and workers will get a paid 4-hour orientation. Applicants must be 18 or older, legally authorized to work in the US, and physically able to handle tough winter conditions. LINK: www.nyc.gov/snowemploy

WEIRD NEWS
CDs are having a moment – and it’s because Gen Z has discovered what those shiny little discs are for! CD sales jumped 16% in the first half of 2026, with 16.3 million sold in the US. That’s more growth than vinyl, which rose just 2.4%. And get this: 60% of Gen Z music fans say they mostly listen to music from the 90s or earlier. Five years ago, that number was just 18%. Younger listeners are apparently tired of streaming, screens and distractions - and are rediscovering the radical concept of putting a disc in a player and listening to an entire album.

THE LIST
Merriam-Webster just gave the English language a massive glow-up, adding 1,400 new words and definitions – proving that if enough people say something weird long enough, it eventually becomes official. New entries include “looksmaxxing,” “vibe coding,” “meme coin,” “parasocial,” “cuffing season,” “Sunday scaries,” “Rickroll” and “Mandela Effect.” The dictionary says words make the cut when they’re frequent, widespread and meaningful. So, apparently our collective internet nonsense has achieved linguistic respectability. “Uncanny valley” also joins the club, describing that creepy feeling when something looks almost, but not quite, human. Honestly, English is evolving faster than we can keep up. At this rate, “OMG, that’s a word now?” needs its own entry. Here are some more new additions to Merriam-Webster:
✓ Xennial
✓ Yacht rock
✓ California sober
✓ Promposal
✓ Superfood
✓ Shapewear
✓ Compute
