Snack Break
I went to the bodega this morning to buy some breakfast — cigarettes, Gatorade, and Doritos — and saw that Doritos are doing that whole "mystery flavor" thing again. (Last year the mystery flavor turned out to be "cheeseburger.") Click the image for my guess.

Bearly Legal
A bear was convicted of stealing honey. In a court of law. In Macedonia. A beekeeper filed the charges; the court found the bear guilty and, since it had no owner and belonged to a protected species, ordered the state to pay the $3500 damage it caused to a beekeeper's hives. The bear did not show up in court. [Telegraph]

Erin Burnett Teaches Us To Use Terrible World Events To Our Advantage: An Inspiring Story Of A Blogger And Her Collection Agent
CNBC's Money Honey 2.0 Erin Burnett is profiled in today's Washington Post.

Anyway, the story elucidates why, despite being nowhere near as hot, Erin is fast displacing Maria as the world's preeminent hot chick who knows about money.Asked on "Hardball" about the repeated recalls of Chinese-made toys, Burnett said: "If China were to revalue its currency, or China is to start making, say, toys that don't have lead in them or food that isn't poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up, and that means prices at Wal-Mart here in the United States are going to go up too."Somehow she got ridiculed for this incendiary linking of (duh) cause with (duh) money-saving effect, but we were inspired: Erin was on TV, right before our eyes talking about the Fed and the European Central Bank and all those huge financial institutions' deep-set paranoia that all those debt-saddled consumers out there were just going to default en masse.... and we realized that, much like shoddy Chinese manufacturing standards, there just might be a silver lining in this market especially for us...
