Fast Food:
Kentucky Fried Chickenwants to help customers disconnect from the internet and enjoy their chicken in peace.
KFCunveiled an "Internet Escape Pod" --a tent that blocks outWiFi and cell phone signals. And, the pod can be yours for a measly $10-thousand-dollars. The indoor tent acts like "a magic force field" and is decorated with a giant picture ofCOLONEL SANDERS. It's available on the KFC website with the caption: "Find sanctuary for yourself and your loved ones under Colonel Sanders." If you buy one a representative from KFC will come to your house and set it up. The limited edition product is only available until it sells out. (Still)Fashion Emergency:
7-Eleven--your one-stop-shop for coffee, cheesy snacks, headache drugs and toilet paper-- isrolling out its own line of cosmetics. It's a 40-item cosmetics line called"Simple Me Beauty."(Really! 40?!?)Fashionista.comsays the convenience store wants to capitalize on the millennial and Gen-Z beauty craze that has a whole range of retailers suddenly making contouring and eye palettes.

White Trash Bulletin:
JUSTIN and JORDAN GARTONof Fort Smith, Arkansas, justLOVE theOlive Garden. Jordan says, "I'm only the third generation on my dad's side to be born in America. I just love Italian food and growing up in Arkansas that's pretty much one of the only Italian places that we ever got to go."
After they got married in 2015, they bought a "never ending pasta pass" that cost $100 bucks and gets them unlimited pasta and Coke for a limited time. When Jordan got pregnant with the couple's first child and found out it was a girl, they knew immediately what her name would be. Although thankfully, they didn't go with the EXACT restaurant name. They decided onOLIVIA MICHELLE GARTON, or O.M.G.
Yeah, that's SO much better.
Editor's note:Well at least their favorite restaurant wasn'tHooters.(Myers)
