Kentucky woman discovers 8-year-old son bought 70,000 lollipops from Amazon; leaves her a Rs 3 lakh bill
A mom from Kentucky got the surprise of her life when her front porch turned into a candy warehouse. Holly LaFavers was left stunned after discovering that her son Liam, 8, had managed to use her phone to place a massive Amazon order for nearly 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops. She had no idea what was coming until 22 oversized boxes of the sugary treats showed up at her doorstep. Even though she tried to cancel the order as soon as she realised what Liam had done, it was already too late – the order had been dispatched. But the real punch came when she checked her bank account. 'When I saw what the number was, I just about fainted,' LaFavers told local outlets, referring to the whopping $4,000 (Rs 3.4 lakh, approximately) charge that hit her account. To make things worse, it turned out the candy avalanche wasn't over – eight more cases were still on the way. Holly quickly headed to the post office and was able to intercept and return those remaining boxes. However, dealing with the original delivery proved to be a headache. 'I contacted Amazon as soon as I realized what had happened. They originally told me to reject the delivery and they would refund my money. The driver never knocked or rang the doorbell so now they will not take them back,' she explained in a Facebook post. After spending a whole day going back and forth with the bank and even getting a few news stations involved, she finally caught a break. Amazon agreed to issue a full refund. 'After a long day of working with the bank and talking to a few news stations, Amazon called and they are refunding my money,' she shared online. Needless to say, Holly has since tightened the settings on her phone to prevent Liam from doing any more 'impulse shopping'. The story quickly went viral, with social media lighting up over the hilarious parenting moment. One commenter wrote, 'I'm sorry but this is too funny not to laugh about, but I will cry with you too! Once Landon bought $250 worth of ROBLOX something.' Others could barely contain themselves, flooding the post with 'OMG's and laughing emojis.

Why is the Roblox logo blue?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ROBLOX, the online playground for millions of budding game-makers and blocky adventurers, has stunned fans by swapping steely greys for a loud new look with vivid blue. With over 70 million daily players, every pixel counts, and the site is incredibly popular with children, with one spending over £1,000.

Although Roblox hasn't explained the reasons for the new colour scheme, they have previously used silver and red. The vivid blue is seen by many people as a statement about the company's new direction. It could be seen as an attempt to fit in with other tech companies, while some users have suggested it shows a more corporate image. The shift to a vivid blue could be part of Roblox's wider strategy to modernise the brand. The change has been implemented across Roblox's platforms, including the Creator Hub and the Universal App. The new hue helps to create a more cohesive brand. When did Roblox change the logo? Nobody is quite sure exactly when the logo changed, however one blogger wrote in March that the logo was still grey and black. However, the logo was spotted to have changed in the Apple app store and Google Play in April 2025. This comes after players noticed the play button changed from green to blue in January. What does the blue represent? Blue is often associated with trust, safety, calmness and professionalism.

As many of the platform users are children, the company may have wanted to steer away from these hostile associations. What have gamers said about the blue Roblox logo? The reaction to the new Roblox logo from gamers has been mainly negative, with many nostalgic for the older red version. One Reddit user wrote: "This one is more corporate, emotionless, boring, and plain." Another added: "Blue looks ugly. Roblox is becoming worse one step at a time." 3 Roblox is a popular game with children Credit: Getty What is Roblox? Roblox is an online user-generated-content (UGC) gaming platform. Unlike traditional gaming publishers, where the platform publishes its own games, on Roblox, independent developers can create and share their own narratives. The colourful site is popular with children, who play the mostly free games on their smartphones, tablets and computers. Many users enjoy messaging their friends and strangers with the text chat feature.
