Instacart slashes prices for a surprising reason
It was the summer of 1999. My mom had just dropped me off at day camp at the local JCC. The sun was already beating down, and the blacktop outside the gymnasium shimmered with heat. I had my Lisa Frank notebook, an extra scrunchie around my wrist, and a lunchbox filled with what I looked forward to all morning: a mini-hot dog Lunchables, a packet of Dunkaroos, and a Capri Sun. After carefully stabbing the straw through the foil pouch, I'd suck it down like I had been stranded in the desert. Related: Target struggles to stop spiral amid customer backlash Then I'd fold the empty Capri Sun into a rectangle and pretend it was a flip phone, wedging it between my shoulder and ear as I strutted around the picnic table like I was deep in conversation. To five-year-old me, this was peak cool. Those lunches weren't just were mini moments of freedom. Paired with afternoons of water games, tie-dye shirts, and making friendship bracelets, that summer felt like magic. I hadn't thought about that version of summer in a long time. But now, one company is bringing it all back. Time to dust off the jelly sandals - and maybe the old Capri Sun flip phone, too. Image source: Instacart Instacart's new national campaign, "Summer Like It's 1999," is more than a clever ad play. It's a data-backed move aimed at drawing in Millennial shoppers who are balancing inflation with a craving for simpler times. According to a Harris Poll survey commissioned by Instacart, 79% of Americans who grew up in the '90s say they often reflect on their childhood summers. That insight inspired the platform not only to embrace the vibe of the decade (with commercials full of butterfly clips, water guns, and baggy jeans) but also to slash prices on grocery items that defined it. Related: Lululemon's latest viral product reveals something much bigger Through September 5, shoppers can get up to 47.2% off classic summer snacks like Capri Sun, Bagel Bites, Otter Pops, Kool-Aid, and more. That discount isn't arbitrary. It's based on the CPI change between 1999 and now, a nod to the real economic pressures families are facing. The idea is clear: if you're going to take shoppers on a trip down memory lane, make it affordable. In Q1 2025, Instacart saw orders rise 14% year-over-year to 83.2 million. Revenue also climbed 9% to $897 million. Company's CEO Fidji Simo said the brand is doubling down on what matters most to customers: "convenience, affordability, quality, and selection." Instacart has made it clear it wants to be more than a utility. The brand is now betting big on emotional connection - leaning into joy, simplicity, and the power of shared memories to deepen loyalty. And the business case is there, too. Advertising revenue climbed 14% year-over-year, driven by brands investing more heavily in Instacart's growing media network. By leaning into campaign storytelling, the platform is positioning itself as a compelling space for high-intent advertising, not just grocery logistics.

With grocery inflation still top of mind, even a small discount on nostalgic brands can feel like a meaningful win. By combining AI-driven personalization, smart pairing tools, and strategic partnerships with Chase and United, Instacart is working to turn occasional shoppers into loyal, repeat customers. The summer push is a blend of emotional resonance and strategic timing. It tells shoppers: "We get expensive. But it can still be fun." Whether this nostalgia-fueled play creates long-term growth remains to be seen. But for now, it's kicking off summer with a smile.

King Charles Mocked by Jimmy Kimmel Amid Trump Threat
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. King Charles III was roasted by Jimmy Kimmel for a speech billed as a moment of support for Canada in the face of annexation threats from President Donald Trump. The British monarch, 76, is the king not only of Britain, but also Canada and opened the Canadian Parliament on May 27 for the first time during his reign. Queen Elizabeth II last undertook the ceremony in 1977, some 48 years ago. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made clear the timing was no coincidence after Trump's recent talk of making the country America's 51st state. However, Kimmel roasted Charles with suggestions his speech may not have been quite so impactful after all. King Charles III sits on the throne in the Senate Chamber for the State Opening of Parliament, in Ottawa, Ontario, during an official visit to Canada on May 27, 2025.

Chris Jackson - Pool/Getty Images What Kimmel Said About Charles' Canada Visit Kimmel mocked the king's Canada visit saying: "Trump isn't the only elder statesman with a friend in need, King Charles was in Canada today to show his support for the commonwealth during this difficult time. The king gave an uncharacteristically fiery speech this morning in front of the Canadian Parliament." Charles was then shown struggling for around 17 seconds to turn the pages on the booklet seemingly containing the words to his speech. "Won't someone please come lick the royal thumb?" Kimmel continued. "Next I want him try to open a Capri Sun. So then once he was able to pry the manilla envelope pages apart the king spoke not only with power, but also with grace." Jimmy Kimmel Live! then played footage of Charles' speech in which he said: "Every time I come to Canada, a little more of Canada seeps into my bloodstream and from there straight to my heart." "Gross," Kimmel said. Trump as Backdrop to Charles' Visit Carney recently told Sky News that Canada's invitation to Charles to open Parliament was not a coincidence in light of Trump's annexation threats: "All issues around Canada's sovereignty have been accentuated by the president. So, no, it's not coincidental, but it is also a reaffirming moment for Canadians." Meanwhile, many news outlets reported on Charles' speech as sending a message about the importance of Canadian sovereignty. ABC News, for example, ran the online headline: "King Charles III defends Canada's sovereignty in speech to open parliament." And NBC News went with: "Canada is at 'critical moment,' King Charles tells Parliament amid Trump annexation threats." The king told Canada's Parliament: "Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them. Fundamental change is always unsettling. "Yet, this moment is also an incredible opportunity, an opportunity for renewal, an opportunity to think big and to act bigger; an opportunity for Canada to embark on the largest transformation of its economy since the Second World War." "A confident Canada, which has welcomed new Canadians, including from some of the most tragic, global conflict zones, can seize this opportunity by recognizing that all Canadians give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away," Charles added.

Kindergarten teacher begs parents: Please teach your kids this 1 skill
How can parents really prepare their kids for kindergarten? Take advice from a teacher who says parents need to do one important thing: 'Tell your kid no.' ''No' is not a bad word,' Emily Perkins, a kindergarten teacher in Kentucky, tells As Perkins, 28, explained in a TikTok video, 'A lot of people ask me all the time when they figure out that I'm a kindergarten teacher: What can they do to prepare their kid for kindergarten? What can I do — help them open their snacks? Help them tie their shoes? No, no, no, not that. Tell your kid, 'No' ... Tell them 'No' as a complete sentence.' Perkins continued, 'Do not teach them that telling them, 'No' invites them to argue with you, because if I can't tell your child 'No' as an adult, and they don't respect the 'No,' they're basically unteachable. Let me tell you something: I will open their snacks, I will tie their shoes, I will help them blow their nose, I will teach them how to wash their hands properly.' She joked, 'I will put the Capri Sun straw in the non-existent hole of these new, 100% fruit juice Capri Suns — whatever they are. Let's figure out a hole for that, OK, Capri Sun?' 'The term gentle parenting gets thrown around like a reward — 'Congratulations, you're a pushover,'' Perkins said in the video, adding, 'You can validate your child's feelings without being a pushover.' 'I heard a parent tell me that they don't tell their child, 'No' because it triggers them,' Perkins said in the video. 'If you cannot tell your child, 'No,' your child's teacher probably can't tell them 'No,' either. And if your child's teacher can't tell them, 'No,' it's really hard to help them learn,' she concluded. Many on TikTok, including teachers, agreed with Perkins. 'It's actually non-parenting. That's the problem.' 'Fellow kindergarten teacher: Best advice ever. I have multiple students who melt down and argue ... when I tell them, 'No.'' 'This why I come home exhausted each day. Having 18 6-year-olds argue with me all day and then choose to ignore me and do whatever they want anyway is so tiring.' 'Not everything needs to be a lesson. Sometimes, 'Because I said so' is a complete sentence.' 'I teach first grade and my God, yes. Girl, I am TIRED.' 'Gentle parenting and permissive parenting are two VERY different things! ... We can gentle parent and still say, 'No.'' 'Preschool teacher here. You are ... correct. Let them struggle a bit so they can ACTUALLY do hard things. Let them experience disappointment! Make them resilient!' 'As a public Pre-K teacher, I can confirm. The number of kids that have not been told 'No' is astonishing. I put out fires all day long as a result.' Perkins, a mother of two, tells that ''no' is not an invitation to an argument.' Perkins explains why she can't always — and shouldn't have to — take time to spell out her reasoning for saying 'no' to a child. 'My whole job is explaining,' Perkins jokes. 'Think of logistics — if we're lining up for a fire drill, it's, 'No, you may not stay inside if the building is on fire' or 'No, you may not climb on the table because it's not safe.'' Perkins says she children generally deserve an explanation for the 'no' and she's fond of circling back with students when there's time for her to talk about the context. 'I love to explain why, but if I can't right then, kids still have to hear and accept 'no,'' she tells Learning to respect the word 'no' is an 'essential skill for life,' according to Dr. Deborah Gilboa, family doctor and resilience expert. Gilboa tells that some children struggle with being told 'no' because, 'It's never meant 'no' before — it's meant, 'Ask me again' or 'I'll whine until you give in.'' Do kids have to love adhering to the word 'no'? No! Responding to it properly, however, is important when starting elementary school. 'Kindergarten is often children's first experience at being somewhere — not just for their care and feeding — but also their learning ... and having to meet metrics,' explains Gilboa. Gilboa adds that educators generally care about helping children develop into people with whom other people want to socialize. Kindergarten teachers in particular are 'experts' at consistency, she says. 'That's how they manage the behavior of a roomful of young children.' To deny kids reasonable expectations of the real world, says Gilboa, is unfair to them. 'If children have no practice at having limits set and held to expectations for good behavior and having consequences for breaking rules,' says Gilboa, 'they're going to struggle at school.'

Kindergarten teacher shares the ONE rule she wishes parents would teach kids before starting school
A kindergarten teacher has shared the one rule she wishes all parents would teach their kids before their first day of school. Educator Emily Perkins, 28, from Kentucky, recently took to TikTok to share the single request that she had for all moms and dads who are preparing to send their toddlers to kindergarten. She explained that while most parents are focused on teaching their kids the basics like tying their shoes or opening up containers for snack time, there's something much more important that they should be concentrating on. She vowed that the most important lesson a kid needs to learn before starting school is hearing the word no. 'Hey, I'm a teacher, I teach kindergarten and a lot of people ask me what to do to prepare their kid for kindergarten,' she began in the now-viral video, which has been viewed more than 317,000 times. 'Tell your kid no. Tell them no as a complete sentence. Do not teach them that telling them no invites them to argue with you, OK? 'If I can't tell your kid no or they won't respect the no, they're basically unteachable. 'I will open their snacks, I will tie their shoes, I will help them blow their noses, I will teach them how to wash their hands, I will put the Capri Sun straw in the hole, whatever you need, we'll figure it out. 'I will do that all day, but if I can't tell your child no, unteachable.' In recent years, something known as 'gentle parenting' has become extremely popular, which sees moms and dads respond to kids misbehaving 'with kindness and patience, rather than resorting to punishment or harsh discipline.' But Emily slammed it, adding, 'The term gentle parenting gets thrown around like an award. 'Congratulations, you're a pushover. I can probably do a whole rant on gentle parenting... just don't do it. 'You can validate your child's feelings without being a pushover.' She recalled one parent telling her they 'don't tell their child no because it "triggers them."' 'As a teacher, I believe in the "why," I believe in figuring out why things work, I believe in figuring out why their behaviors happened in the first place,' she concluded. 'But if [teachers] can't tell them no, it's really hard to help them learn.' While chatting with the Today show about it, Emily explained that a huge part of her profession is saying 'no.' She explained that it's mostly important for safety, as it's her job to ensure your kids don't get hurt. 'Think of logistics - if we're lining up for a fire drill, it's, "No, you may not stay inside if the building is on fire," or, "No, you may not climb on the table because it's not safe,"' she explained. 'I love to explain why, but if I can't right then, kids still have to hear and accept "no."'
