Viral TikTok Products You Missed But Need Now
Anua's Heartleaf Cleanser — it goes after blackheads and general congestion so aggressively, some reviewers even say you can see 👀 the dirt and dead skin get flushed out. A *cute* minimizer bra that promises no gaps or bunching, which, as someone with boobs, I know sounds like straight-up malarkey. Alas, thousands of reviewers say it's true!!! 😭 A retractable remote-control tether for anyone who's played one too many games of hide and seek with their remote and duvet. Nice try, FireStick remote — you've lost your privileges and are relegated to leash life now. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip — a TikTok-approved Dior alternative that delivers the perfect pout for under 10 bucks! It can be worn alone for a subtle look or layered over other lip products for a full glam moment. A shower lamp so you can take your baths up a notch in the ambiance department. I don't care what anyone says, I won't hear ANY bath slander, OK?? In the eternal words of Meredith Marks, "You don't go after my marriage. You don't go after my bathtub." An airtight Deli ProKeeper to keep your sandwich supplies fresh and moisture free. Groceries basically cost an arm and TWO legs now, so proper storage is a must! Biodance bio-collagen sheet masks — they deeeeeply penetrate skin with oligo-hyaluronic acid and ultra-low molecular collagen, the combination of which helps to refine pores, improve elasticity, and visibly moisturize your skin. A gold-plated paper clip necklace that reviewers say can even withstand frequent showers and trips to the beach! A rechargeable heated ice cream scoop if you're mega impatient and hate having to leave your Häagen-Dazs on the counter to soften up before scooping it. I can't even tell you how many normal spoons I've bent to hell and back because I simply can't wait. Some mid-weight sweatpants TikTokers are comparing to Aritzia's 👀, but because they get shipped straight to your door, you can try them on in front of a *private* mirror instead of having to complete the dreaded ritual that is exiting your dressing room to use a communal one. A self-stirring mug that'll mix your cream and sugar into your coffee for you so you don't have to dirty a spoon giving it a quick twirl. Usually, you'd just run said spoon under the faucet for half a second and then toss it back in the utensil drawer, but on the off chance someone else is in the kitchen and witnesses you using it, then you have to put on a show of actually washing it with soap and water, and that's just a hassle. A Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask (from viral K-Beauty brand Medicube) to help you on your journey to glass skin! Kojic acid helps to brighten your complexion, while turmeric extract fights off environmental stressors and leaves your skin visibly clearer. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" so you can keep your three comfort beverages and TV remotes right by your side — no worries about spilling or losing anything between the couch cushions. Dae Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream if you're all about slicked-back styles but you're looking for something that won't leave your hair greasy or crusty. Reviewers also say it smells divine and it draws comparisons to the pink Starburst, Skittles, and gummy bears! A CZ tennis bracelet that — according to reviewers — can pass for real-deal diamonds, especially when incorporated in a sparkly stack. A leakproof laptop lunch tote with an insulated compartment where you can store your drink(s) of choice. They'll stay nice and cool in there for up to six hours, so you can keep them at your desk and avoid using the communal fridge altogether if you have an office pickpocket who regularly targets your stuff. A glare-free palm-size *mini* Kindle that can hold thousands of books and has a battery life of six weeks!!! That way, you don't have to worry about it dying RIGHT when you get to the good part of your novel. A K-beauty SPF 50 "sunstick" if you HATE how greasy sunscreen feels on your fingers, so a stick version is the ideal solution. The oil-control formula offers a semi-matte finish with no white cast, so you don't have to rub it in and defeat the purpose of its design. 🙌🏻 A square-neck A-line dress with a slight drop waist (v on-trend) and a fitted bodice that's sure to become a go-to this summer. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder — an oil-absorbing, pore-blurring formula that'll eliminate shine without drying you out because that's just as bad, tbh. A teensy tiny 14-ounce Stanley Cup if you have a little one who INSISTS on drinking out of your cup and doesn't understand the concept of backwash quite yet. Maybe, just maybe, getting them a matching one will solve that problem. A two-slice slim toaster for anyone SICK of how much room their current clunker of a toaster takes up. This lil' baby is only 3.5 inches wide, so you can tuck it in anywhere. Some afforable Eos Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that TikTokers are tripping over themselves to get as they swear it moisturizes and smells as good as much more expensive options from brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. A double-sided cutting *and* defrosting board if you always underestimate how long your chicken takes to thaw, and you told guests dinner would be on the table at 7 p.m... A freaking weenie dog hoodie from Aelfric Eden — the same streetwear brand behind last year's viral cow sweater! I love the meta element of a human wearing a sweatshirt with the motif of a dog wearing its own sweater and beret. A foaming drain cleaner if you've got a sensitive schnoz and your sink has been smelling... off... lately. One reviewer says they used a single can on five different sinks, so you can go wild and make a night of cleaning every drain in your home. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer — an ideal summer camping trip companion because "roughing it" on your trip may mean sleeping in a tent and using an outhouse, but it will NOT mean going caffeine-free. A versatile Ninja Crispi Air Fryer system that can air fry, bake, crisp, and reheat when attached to your choice of included 6-cup or 4-quart container. And anything you don't finish? Just slap a lid on it, store it in your fridge, and enjoy leftovers the next day! No extra dishes necessary. A "Beverage Buddee" can cover if you're a sodie lover but can only handle a few sips here and there. These also help prevent spills and keep bees away if you're sipping outside!! A tub of Juno & Co.'s cleansing balm as it combines the powers of pearl barley and vitamin E to brighten skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, refine texture, and remove impurities (or, say, 10 layers of mascara).

People are only just realising where Häagen-Dazs' name came from, and it's NOT because of its ‘Danish heritage'
ICE TO KNOW People are only just realising where Häagen-Dazs' name came from, and it's NOT because of its 'Danish heritage' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PEOPLE are being left shocked after discovering the meaning behind the ice cream brand Häagen-Dazs. If you have ever assumed that it was named after its founders or that it is a Swedish, German or Danish phrase you are mistaken. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 People have been left amazed learning how Häagen-Dazs got its name Credit: Getty 3 Häagen-Dazs isn't named after its founders, or a Scandinavian phrase Credit: Haagen-Dazs Häagen-Dazs was launched in the US by husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Reuben and Rose Mattus in the 1960s. And it turns out that the distinctive name was completely made up and doesn't have any true meaning at all. Reuben created the name himself and wanted it to sound European. He even invented a meaning behind the phrase, claiming it stands for 'the best'. However, the back story behind the invented phrase is poignant. Reuben and Rose are both Jewish-Polish immigrants and decided to come up with a Danish-inspired moniker in tribute to Denmark's protection of its Jewish population during the Second World War. According to Tablet Magazine, Reuben - who died in 1994 - shared: 'The only country which saved the Jews during World War II was Denmark, so I put together a totally fictitious Danish name and had it registered. 'Häagen-Dazs doesn't mean anything. [But] it would attract attention, especially with the umlaut.' He added that he also wanted a name that would stand out in the American market and that people would 'take a second look' at the label and wonder if it was imported. Reuben shared: 'If you're the same like everybody else, you're lost. You can now buy Biscoff inspired Haagen-Dazs ice creams 'The number one thing was to get a foreign-sounding name.' As well as choosing a Danish-sounding name, Reuben also included a map of Denmark on the early Häagen-Dazs labels. Reuben's daughter Doris Hurley recalled in a PBS documentary called An Ice Cream Show in 1996 how her dad sat round the kitchen table coming up with jibberish names for the brand. He eventually settled on Häagen-Dazs due to it sounding 'unique' and 'original.' 3 It turns out that the distinctive name was completely made up and doesn't have any true meaning at all Many Häagen-Dazs fans have admitted they are surprised upon finding out the name had been completely made up. One said: 'I always assumed it was a combination of two German last names. Weird.' Another added: 'I always assumed it was German because of the umlaut.' However, one person pointed out: ''As a Swedish person the name has always bothered me because it doesn't make sense verbally (or grammatically) to put an A after an Ä like that.'

Five secret branding messages you may have missed LOTS of brands have secret messages on their logos - so which ones have you spotted? Amazon Most people either have Amazon Prime and/or regularly order from the site, so are used to seeing the logo. But have you ever noticed the little arrow underneath the word Amazon? It starts at the 'A' and finishes at the 'Z' - showing that they sell everything from A to Z! Toblerone It caused a stir a few years ago when people realised the Toblerone logo - which they'd thought was a mountain - is actually the image of a bear. The reason for this is that a bear is the official symbol of the Swiss town of Bern, the original home of Toblerone. Ray-Ban The brand is arguably one of the most famous sunglasses companies in the world. But have you ever spotted the sunglasses image in the logo? If you look carefully at the letter 'B' in Ray-Ban and tilt your head to the side, you will see it looks like a pair of sunnies. Hyundai You'd be forgiven for thinking the 'H' logo for Hyundai is just meant to be a jazzy letter. In fact, if you look again, you might see that the vertical lines of the H are actually meant to show two people shaking hands - a salesperson and a satisfied customer. Apple Again, one of the most familiar logos in the world. But why does Apple's apple logo have a bite taken out of it? Apparently, it's down to the fact that when the logo is made smaller, they didn't want it to look like a cherry. So having the bite taken out of it means it is always identifiable as an apple.

General Mills Boycott: Full List of Products Organizers Say to Avoid
Organizers have called for a week-long boycott of General Mills products, targeting the American multinational company that owns popular brands like Cheerios, Häagen-Dazs, and Betty Crocker. The protest has been organized by People's Union USA, an activist group known for promoting shopping boycotts that target major corporations across the country. The General Mills boycott is scheduled to begin on April 21 and end on April 28. Newsweek reached out to General Mills via email on Monday. Below is a full list of General Mills-owned brands and products listed by organizers to boycott. Pet Food Blue Buffalo Ice Cream Häagen-Dazs ice creams Breakfast Cereals Cheerios: Honey Nut Cheerios, Multi-Grain Cheerios, and moreChex: Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, and other flavorsCinnamon Toast CrunchLucky CharmsWheatiesTrixCocoa PuffsKix: Original, Berry Berry, and Honey KixTotal: Whole grain flakes with various vitamins and minerals Snacks and Bars Nature Valley granola bars and snacksLarabar Energy BarsFiber One BarsFruit Roll-Ups, Fruit by the Foot, Gushers Baking Products and Mixes Betty Crocker baking productsBisquick pancake and baking mixesGold Medal Flour Dairy and Yogurt YoplaitGo-GurtLiberté Frozen and Prepared Foods Totino's pizza rolls and frozen pizzasOld El Paso products, including taco kits and saucesProgresso soups and brothsGreen Giant's frozen and canned vegetablesAnnie's Homegrown products This is the latest in a series of consumer boycotts aimed at large corporations over concerns about corporate influence, exploitative practices, and environmental impact. General Mills is one of the largest food companies in the country, and People's Union USA has accused it of wielding unchecked corporate power, driving unhealthy food choices, and contributing to environmental harm. In recent months, People's Union USA has also called for boycotts of Walmart, Nestle and Amazon, as well as general actions targeting big-box stores, instead encouraging consumers to support local businesses. The group writes on its website that it uses boycotts as a tool because "money is the only language the system understands." John Schwarz, founder of People's Union USA said in a video posted to Instagram: "We instantly go into our week-long General Mills boycott—not just for their toxic ingredients, or the fact that they dodge their fair share of taxes, but because General Mills represents everything that is wrong with the corporate grip on our food system. "This is a company that owns half the cereal aisle, floods our stores with ultra-processed garbage and targets our children with sugary poison. They have spent millions lobbying against GMO [genetically modified organism] transparency and better food labeling, just so we stay blind to what we're really feeding our families. "This company has exploited farmers, drained our soils with unethical farming and done nothing to fix their role in the plastic pollution crisis. Their executives rake in millions while factory workers struggle to make ends meet." The General Mills action ends on April 28. The People's Union USA has several other boycotts scheduled for the coming months, including of Amazon, Walmart, Target and McDonald's.
