This week we reveal a new trick by breakfast cereal makers -- They're playing games on which boxes "Family Size" and "Giant Size" are placed. "Family" is moving to 18 oz boxes from 23/24 oz , and "Giant" is now on the old family size. #ProtectConsumers mouseprint.org/2022/09/19/be…

An idyllic home in a forested area. The pool in the backyard is unsafe. It is missing a four-sided fence. Also, there are red tentacles from an enormous kraken flowing out of the pool. The kraken does not have positive intentions. The text reads: Are you asking the right questions about your vacation rental? Ask the landlord or rental company about safety. Does this vacation rental have: working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, working fire extinguishers, anchored furniture, and pool safety devices (such as a four-sided fence around the pool)?
