Chick-fil-A's new fall menu items available now: Here's what they are
The company announced Aug. 7 its limited-time fall menu that includes a new sandwich, the chain's first-ever seasonal soda, and two new potato chip varieties, all available beginning Aug. 18.
First introduced last spring, Chick-fil-A is bringing back its Cherry Berry drink for a second year, however this time mixed with Sprite. The full lineup for Cherry Berry drinks includes:
In addition to the Cherry Berry beverages, Chick-fil-A also announced its Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich is launching nationwide due to customer demand after a successful test in Raleigh, North Carolina last spring.
The sandwich features a toasted, buttery pretzel bun, lettuce, sliced tomato, cheddar cheese, strips of applewood smoked bacon and a side of Creamy Dijon Mustard sauce. Customers can also choose their preferred filet, meaning the sandwich is available with original, spicy and grilled chicken.
"We are always looking for ways to surprise our Guests with new and unique menu offerings, and this year's fall lineup presents even more opportunities for Guests to customize and make them their own," said Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging for Chick-fil-A, in a news release.
"Our Guests' demand for bold, fun beverages is only growing and Cherry Berry's return, now with a bubbly twist, brings something fresh and unexpected to our lineup. The Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich offers the perfect complement: it's savory with layers of flavor that feel indulgent, yet distinctly Chick-fil-A," Duncan said in the release.
Chick-fil-A debuts two potato chip varieties
Chick-fil-A also announced two new potato chip varieties, now offered in a new waffle cut style that closely resembles Chick-fil-A's waffle fries.
The chips will be available as a permanent side item or a catering option for any occasion and includes an Original Flavor Waffle Potato Chip option and a Chick-fil-A Sauce Flavored Waffle Potato Chip.
Chick-fil-A said the potato chips will also be available to purchase in 7-ounce bags in select retail locations across the Atlantic and Southeast regions later this fall.

Murphy Signs New Jersey Sweeps Ban Into Law
Gov. Phil Murphy signed A5447 and S4282 into law Friday, making New Jersey the fourth state this calendar year to enact legislation banning online sweepstakes casinos. The Garden State joined Nevada, Montana, and Connecticut as those that have banned online sweepstakes gaming via legislature. The Social Gaming Leadership Alliance (SLGA), which is made up of social games operators, expressed 'strong disappointment' in Assemblyperson Clinton Calabrese's bill becoming law via a statement released Friday. 'Lawmakers in New Jersey have completely ignored their own constituents and enacted a ban that voters oppose,' said SGLA Executive Director and former U.S. congressman Jeff Duncan. 'This law is a textbook example of government overreach that strips away entertainment choices from adults who should be free to make decisions about their own entertainment.' Calabrese's long, strange legislative trip Earlier in the legislative calendar year, Calabrese submitted legislation proposing to regulate online sweepstakes casino similar to how New Jersey regulates online casino gaming. Calabrese did not submit A5447 that called for a ban until March and then withdrew his previous regulation in April. The anti-sweeps bill gained support while winding its way through assembly committees, most notably from the attorney general's office and the Sports Betting Alliance, which includes several major sportsbooks. 'New Jersey lawmakers have chosen to eliminate jobs, destroy innovation, and take away games that adults play responsibly and enjoy,' Duncan said. 'This isn't about consumer protection – it's about using political influence to help established gambling interests eliminate perceived competition even though our products are fundamentally different. 'Online social games use the same promotional structures as countless American businesses, yet New Jersey has decided to prohibit digital game providers from using well-established marketing tools while protecting legacy casino operators.' Internet casino gaming is the biggest monthly source of gaming revenue for the state, with consistent double-digit percentage growth year-over-year as well as the rise in the tax rate to 19.75% that took effect July 1. Operator revenue reached a record $247.5 million last month, generating $48.9 million in tax receipts. No more proxy betting, either A5447 also contains a clause making proxy betting illegal in New Jersey. It deals more with mobile sports betting than online casino gaming. The statute defines proxy betting as risking 'property with a value of $1,000 or more, having agreed to pay 10 percent or more of the proceeds of the gambling activity to another.' Both parties to a wager — the person who 'engages in proxy betting' and the person 'who conspires to engage in proxy betting' — would be guilty of a disorderly persons offense if convicted. Checking the sweeps scorecard In addition to the four states where anti-sweeps bills have been signed into law, New York legislators passed similar legislation June 18. Gov. Kathy Hochul has yet to sign State Sen. Joseph Addabbo's bill into law. Louisiana lawmakers passed an anti-sweeps bill in unanimous fashion, but Gov. Jeff Landry vetoed the measure, citing confidence in the state's gaming board to combat illegal online gaming. State Attorney General Liz Murrill declared online sweeps illegal via written opinion in July.

The Daily Money: When scam texts turn out to be real
Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money. Americans' inboxes face a daily deluge of unwanted spam. (Not including this newsletter, of course.) Ashley, 47, kept getting texts from someone claiming to be the toll roads administrator in California. It looked phony, so she deleted them. Only later did she figure out the messages were real. Some car models are going away It's getting harder to find new sedans. The Chevrolet Malibu, Subaru Legacy and Volvo S90 are among a handful of vehicles that won't return for the 2026 model year. Their departure comes as automakers adjust their portfolios to meet shifting demands among U.S. drivers. Here's a roundup of models that are hitting the end of the road in 2025. Why are so many workers cashing out 401(k)s? A 401(k) retirement account is supposed to be hands-off. It's not your money, in theory, but savings for the future you. And yet, when Americans leave jobs, one-third of them cash out their 401(k) accounts. That's called 401(k) 'leakage,' and it costs workers untold billions of dollars in lost retirement savings. Why is it happening? 📰 More stories you shouldn't miss 📰 About The Daily Money Each weekday, The Daily Money delivers the best consumer and financial news from USA TODAY, breaking down complex events, providing the TLDR version, and explaining how everything from Fed rate changes to bankruptcies impacts you.

5 Parallels Between Golf And Financial Planning And Analysis
Don Mal | Board chair at Una Software, a performance planning platform combining dynamic FP&A, revenue intelligence & AI-driven forecasting. If you know me, you know golf is a big part of my life (one of my three G's, but that's another story)—so much so that when I found there wasn't a great golf course near my new family cottage, I helped build one. I'm still a member and frequent player of the private club. The story behind how we built it is a great one, but for another time. Today I bring it up because of all the parallels you can draw between great golf and great financial planning and analysis (FP&A). While I know there are more, here are the five that stand out to me fresh off a long weekend spent on the golf course: 1. Reforecasting This is an obvious one. You shank a drive, end up in the sand or even roll into the rough, and your path to the pin (and par) can change dramatically. I know a lot of CEOs and CFOs who feel like they're surrounded by bunkers and water hazards these days. I bet you do, too. I've worked with companies that used to reforecast quarterly or monthly that now do it weekly (if not more frequently). It's a trend that started during the uncertainty of Covid as companies needed to adapt to changing regulations, restrictions and workforces. Now add to that changing policies, tariffs, interest and inflation rates, and their impact on financial and operational performance. No matter how good a golfer you are, you've got to reforecast after every shot. As no matter your business or political stripe, you're going to want to reforecast after every shift that adds uncertainty to your plan. 2. The Data When I play my home course, I can tell you within two to three strokes how I'm going to score. I know where the holes, trees and fairway bunkers are—which ones play long and which ones to lay up on. Between my golf apps and that little range-finder thing, I know how far away I am from the pin all the time, and even how the weather will impact my next shot. I have all the data. And that's a big advantage, both in golf and in finance. If a CFO is only looking at their financials, they're not doing the job that's required of them today. Modern, strategic CFOs have to have their eyes on a wide range of financial and operational, internal and external data. Consider the tariffs and interest rates I mentioned above, or their impact on supply chains, inventory, sales cycles or overall demand. To illustrate even further, my CFO recently wrote a LinkedIn post about a former CFO colleague who put so much emphasis on data, he now goes by the title of Chief Metrics Officer (CMetO). Looking only at financials would be a bit like swinging a golf club knowing only my score and what hole I'm on. 3. The Technology I'm not good enough that the quality of the balls I use impacts my game, but I know the right technology investments help my game. I have one of those alien-looking putters and hybrids. Both have changed my game, as hesitant as I was (like many) when they first came out. That hesitation in FP&A is most pronounced when it comes to moving from Excel spreadsheets to modern, cloud budgeting and planning software. For almost 20 years, I've been fighting the same challenge: That in spite of readily available FP&A software, many finance teams still spend the bulk of their time in stand-alone, disconnected and often broken spreadsheets. That's crucial time spent doing manual, time-consuming work. Time that is ripe for automation—now more than ever with AI part of virtually every FP&A software on the market. Time that could be spent analyzing, investigating, improving forecasting accuracy and shaping their company's future. Breaking away from the FP&A parallels, however, if TaylorMade comes out with an AI driver ... you can count me out. 4. Relationships Golf is so much more enjoyable when you're playing with friends or at least people you get along with. It's a great way to build a friendly, trusting relationship, too (or, at least, you'll be able to tell the trust factor from the scorecard!). Some consider talking business during a round to be poor etiquette, but in business planning, trusted relationships matter—probably a lot more than most of us realize or admit. Both as a CEO working with CFOs I trust, and helping CFO customers gain that same level of trust, I've seen the importance of relationships firsthand hundreds of times. 5. Gimmes And Mulligans In a friendly round, gimmes and mulligans make life easier. They boost your performance (your score). They build trust and rapport. And they keep the pace of play going. But when you're playing in a tournament or with serious players, there's no free pass if your drive ends up deep in the woods or you miss that 4-foot putt. The same could be said for CEOs and CFOs when it comes to your tolerance for forecasting variances—or more crucially, the tolerance of your shareholders and backers. While it's not unusual for a high growth SaaS company to report variances upward of 20%, anything more than 5% to 10% is unacceptable for a large manufacturing firm. Especially if it's publicly traded or PE-backed. In golf, the difference is painfully clear on your scorecard. In corporate finance, it's equally clear on your reputation and share price. If I thought about it long enough, I know I could come up with another four to five parallels at least, probably more. But I'll leave it at this: Stay on the short grass and out of the water—both on the golf course and the income statement. The information provided here is not investment, tax or financial advice.
