A back-to-school poll of parents has unveiled some startling statistics about the modern school lunch experience. The survey of 2,000 Americans with school-age kids found that, on average, 21% of each child’s lunch returns home uneaten each day. No doubt related to that is the fact that 29% of moms and dads said they end up eating their children’s lunch leftovers for dinner. And 54% of parents reported that their children are more likely to eat food if its packaging features their favorite TV show character.

It’s a happy day at the Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds household no matter which way you slice it, with separate movies from the couple providing their very own “Barbenheimer” moment. “It Ends With Us”, starring and produced by Lively, earned a superb $50 million opening weekend domestically, while Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” stayed at #1 with $54 million in its 3rd weekend, and became the second R-rated film to gross $1 billion worldwide. But the weekend was not without its bad spots. “Borderlands” is shaping up to be a critical and commercial flop with an opening weekend of just $8.8 million.
We now know the official title of ‘Avatar 3’: “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” “Director James Cameron and stars Zoe Saldaña and Sam Worthington made the reveal on Friday during the D23 expo. While no footage was previewed, Cameron did showcase some concept art from the film, including ‘Neytiri’ (Saldaña) riding a banshee, what appeared to be giant airships, and a first look at the fearsome Ash People of the Na’vi, covered in ghost-like soot as they dance around a giant fire pit. Avatar: Fire and Ash is scheduled for release in Dec. 2025.

A man who has been described as a “serial record-breaker” proved that to be an accurate description, by breaking 15 world records in a single day. David Rush, who is on a quest to hold the most concurrent world records, started his record-breaking marathon by taking 198 bites out of 3 apples while juggling the fruits for one minute. Next, he chalked up the fastest time to bounce a table tennis ball on 2 bottle caps 10 times using alternate hands, managing to do it in 2.09 seconds. Other records he set that day last week, all during a visit to the Guinness World Record headquarters in London, involved similarly-odd feats involving the most table tennis balls bounced against a wall with the mouth in 30 seconds (47), the most hits of a table tennis ball against a wall in one minute (398), and (wow!) the most table tennis balls bounced and caught in shaving foam on the head in 30 seconds (16). He also set records using a baseball, a basketball, a bowling ball, a paper airplane, chopsticks, t-shirts, toilet paper and lime juice (separately, not together). Rush is now in the process of confirming whether he has overtaken the current world record of holding 180 Guinness World Records at the same time. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3ybu7pev

Dolce & Gabbana has introduced a new fragrance mist – for dogs. The luxury brand says its new “alcohol-free scented mist” was inspired by founder Domenico Dolce’s “unconditional love” for his loyal dog. ‘Fefé’ “blends fresh and delicate notes of Ylang Ylang, Musk, and Sandalwood”, resulting in a “tender and embracing fragrance crafted for a playful beauty routine.” Suckers — I mean, dog owners, rather, can preorder the Fefé fragrance mist for just over US$100. If that sounds like a lot, keep in mind that it comes in “a sleek green lacquered glass bottle, adorned with a vibrant red metal cap and a precious 24-carat gold-plated paw”, which we’re sure your mutt will appreciate deeply, especially if, like mine, it would rather swim in a muddy stream or roll on poo than smell even a little bit nice.
