SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

As inflation continues to be a concern, a new survey shows that consumers are taking special care of their cars – so they won’t need to buy a new one anytime soon! The study, by Talker Research, polled Americans on their consumer behaviors in response to current economic pressures. It found that 73% of car owners have made the decision to better maintain their old vehicles due to rising costs. This is particularly true of older generations, with 75% of Gen X respondents saying they’ve been increased their car care efforts, compared to 60% of Gen Z. Interestingly, while 80% of consumers still rely on others for simple vehicle maintenance, half leave it to the pros . . . and 27% put their friends or family members to work for them. One in 5 said they perform their own car maintenance.

The word "MacGyvered" is in the Oxford English Dictionary. The original MacGyver series that ran from 1985 until 1992 featured a main character who could fashion pretty much whatever his heart desired with random objects. As a result, we've been using the word "MacGyvered" as an adjective meaning "adapted or improvised in an ingenious or expedient way." And in March 2019, the term was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary. It only took 34 years!

Fox Studios is developing the first scripted series based on the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Premiering this October, the 4-part series “One Day in October” centers on 4 gritty narratives of love, courage, survival and loss. The company says that “each story reveals profound truths about the senseless carnage of Hamas’ assault, the visceral emotions it released and, as each victim’s world unraveled around them, the perseverance and sheer heroism required to survive.” Created by Daniel Finkelman and director Oded Davidoff, One Day in October is currently being shot on location in Israel.

Gina Rodriguez has boarded ABC’s “Will Trent” as a series regular for Season 3. The “Jane the Virgin” star will enter the series as Assistant D.A. ‘Marion Alba’, who is new to Atlanta. She is described as “charismatic” and “confident,” though “after her first encounter with ‘Will’ falls flat, the pair is surprised to learn that they must work together to investigate a crime in the world of Atlanta gangs.”

Shiloh Jolie is no longer a Pitt. The 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie officially dropped her father’s surname, after making the legal request on her birthday in May. The court ruling shows a judge signed off on the change Monday morning. Her name has been changed from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.

Strawberries and cream is the signature dish of Wimbledon, but no one is exactly sure how that came to be. Spectators at the tennis tournament, hope to beat last year’s more than 50 tons of strawberries and nearly 15,000 liters of cream consumed over 2 weeks. And the stuff comes at a price that people “love”, too. Strawberries and cream is England’s version of Costco’s hot dog-and-a-soda combo. It has remained at £2.50 (US$3.17) since 2010.
