Coffee, Jeans, and Screens

Starbucks launched a series of olive oil-infused drinks in Milan on Wednesday. Much like the drinks, opinions are…mixed. It’s still unclear when or if the coffee giant will take the option global. We’d venture to guess that if the coffee connoisseurs of Italy don’t care for it, it doesn’t have a great shot of succeeding elsewhere.

Swedish design company Mo’cycle (we wish we made that up) introduced a pair of jeans designed for motorcyclists that inflate in the instance of an accident or mishap. Alternatively, if you’re just looking to thicken up those thighs and glutes in a hurry, these might also be the pants for you!

You know what they say: thick thighs save lives.

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the new interior of its 2024 E-Class that is expected to arrive later this year. The new E-Class will feature a “Superscreen” that combines the standard central touchscreen with a second display in front of the passenger, a selfie camera, and built-in apps for TikTok and Zoom. Mercedes says it has implemented plenty of safety measures to prevent any driver distraction caused by the new features, but didn’t say how they will prevent state governments from banning the car from driving near the county clerk’s office. 

Is this a smart way to keep up with the times, or will it contribute to inattentive driving? Let us know what you think!
