Why McDonald's was forced to end Pokemon promo early
The meals, known as Happy Sets in Japan and intended for children, sold out within a day due to high demand from collectors.
Mounds of wasted food were found near McDonald's outlets, leading the company to issue an apology for its inadequate preparations.
McDonald's stated that the situation contradicted its long-held philosophy of offering a fun dining experience for families.
The company plans to implement measures such as limiting the number of meals per customer and ending online orders to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3.

Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4.

Baby Shark plagiarism case rejected by South Korean court
South Korea's courts have rejected a plagiarism claim from a US composer who argued that Baby Shark, the catchy children's tune which became a global phenomenon, had copied his track. Jonathan Wright launched his case in the South Korean courts in 2021, arguing that Baby Shark had copied his song's bass line and rhythm, infringing on the copyright of a track he had released four years earlier. However, South Korea's top court ruled against him on Thursday, noting that both tunes were based on a classic melody played at children's summer camps in the US. The Supreme Court found Wright's tune did not vary enough from the original to qualify for copyright protection, and that Baby Shark also had clear differences as a song. Pinkfong, the South Korean children's content firm which released the earworm in 2015, welcomed the ruling, which upheld those made by the country's lower courts. Wright had twice appealed against judgments in 2021 and 2023. The ruling concludes the New York-based composer's six-year fight in the South Korean courts. His lawyer called the outcome "a little disappointing", Reuters reported. 'Pop culture icon' worth millions Pinkfong said the court's judgment confirmed that Baby Shark was based on a "traditional singalong chant" in the public domain. The firm said it had boosted the tune and given it "a fresh twist to the chant by adding an upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, turning it into the pop culture icon it is today". The firm released the track in 2015 on YouTube with a Baby Shark Dance video, which went viral. It has received more than 16 billion views since then, making it one of the most popular YouTube videos on record. The song and its associated products - including TV shows, movies and touring musicals based around the family of Baby Shark characters remain a key earner for Pinkfong, which reported $32.6m (£24m) in revenue for the first half of 2025. Wright had launched a damages claim asking for compensation of $21,700.

Nobody 2 review – Bob Odenkirk's suburban tough guy beats action sequel into submission
Bob Odenkirk's unlikely new career journey as a kickass tough guy continues in this pretty formulaic and forgettable sequel to the amusing original hit, which first showed us Hutch (Odenkirk), an apparent suburban nobody with wife-plus-kids who keeps forgetting to put the garbage out in time – then from nowhere busts out some serious fight moves. This sequel from Indonesian action director Timo Tjahjanto, co-written by the writer of the original, Derek Kolstad, really doesn't have much of the humour and the storytelling chutzpah of the first film. But what it does have, inevitably, are endless gonzo fight sequences in which Hutch is unfairly matched against half a dozen or so humongous goons, and winds up reducing these bullies to cat litter. There was a big scene in the first film set on a bus, and it seems to have become the Nobody franchise's USP. The idea now is that Hutch is still working as an assassin but neglecting his family, so he insists on taking them all on a summer break to a cheesy vacation resort with a goofy water slide and silly cabins – a place to which his dad, the lovably cantankerous grandpa played by Christopher Lloyd, who comes along too – once took him when he was a kid. Inevitably Hutch gets involved with local bad guys, including a corrupt sheriff (Colin Hanks) and sadistically mean crime boss Lendina, played by Sharon Stone. And so the six-against-one punch-ups continue, to diminishing effect, with a massive war-zone-style finale in a funfair. The film does contrive to produce a dog for Hutch at the film's beginning and end, in an obvious attempt to pump up his family-guy relatability. Odenkirk sells it conscientiously enough, although his fans may still prefer to remember his harassed lawyer in TV's Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, or his psychotherapist in Arrested Development. Nobody 2 is out on 14 August in Australia, and on 15 August in the UK and US.
