CNN reports that a second note connected to the case said Guthrie had died shortly after being kidnapped. More than 20 weeks later, the investigation remains active and ongoing. Then, M&M’s are going dye-free, and apparently, blue and brown didn’t survive the transition. Mars says those colors are causing production problems, but don’t worry — the full lineup may be back by 2028. That’s right. We can put a robot on Mars, but we need two more years to make a blue M&M.

The answer is: Eat Drink Smoke [http://EatDrinkSmokeShow.com] has been taking over my life. In a good way. For those who don’t know, I co-host the nationally syndicated Eat Drink Smoke Radio Show with Tony Katz. Lately, we’ve been building up the EDS YouTube channel, [https://www.youtube.com/@eatdrinksmoke] cutting more video, posting more clips, organizing the segments, and sharing everything over at EatDrinkSmokeShow.com. [https://eatdrinksmoke.substack.com/] So yes, I’ve been busy. But The Snark Factor isn’t going anywhere. And apparently, neither am I. Thanks for reading!

Trader Joe’s is opening twenty-five new stores, which is wonderful news for anyone who enjoys frozen dumplings and parking lots designed during a hostage situation. Yes, this one runs a little over four minutes, because apparently three stories needed overtime today. If you’re listening regularly and haven’t subscribed yet, that’s how you get this every weekday.
