A Chick-fil-A franchise in Hammond, Louisiana, raised some eyebrows by offering a $35 day camp for kids ages 5-12. During a 3-hour session, campers get a look at the inner workings of a franchise location (and, of course, meet the Chick-fil-A Cow), the restaurant said. Reactions were mixed. One commenter wrote, "Yay!! Child labor!!", while another said it was "nice to see an offer to teach young children about work ethic and responsibility."

Hot Grimace Summer is upon us, and New York Mets fans couldn't be happier. After a rough first two months, the team made their most important move of the season when they had McDonald's mascot Grimace throw out a ceremonial first pitch on June 12. That moment appears to have kickstarted a winning streak that has propelled the Mets back into the National League wildcard race. "ALL HAIL GRIMACE, FIRST OF HIS NAME," Mets TV station SNY wrote on X. Last night, the Mets routed the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers 14-2 to make it six in a row. Read more. |
