  1. What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 153

    Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

    Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

    I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

    #1 Reaction Videos of The Transformers: The Movie – I can hardly believe it has been forty years since The Transformers: The Movie was first released. Following its disappointing theatrical run, the animated feature film became highly pursued by Transformers fans as soon as it was released on home video, and me and my friends enjoyed it a lot. It’s theatrical disappointment never stopped it from becoming a classic for Transformers fans and its importance in pop culture has been established solidly. By today’s standards, The Transformers: The Movie is a showcase of not only high-quality animation and a great lineup of characters, it also has the fine vocal performances of entertainment legends Orson Welles, Peter Cullen (who died recently), Leonard Nimoy, Scatman Crothers, Robert Stack, and Frank Welker. That said, it is not surprising that the 1986 animated film is featured in many movie reaction videos and I found the most entertaining ones for you to enjoy.

    #2 Summer Bargains in Japan – Are there a lot of bargains offered by your local grocery or department stores during the summer season? In Japan, as captured by Nippon TV, a grocery store organized “all-you-can-stuff” events that offered customers the golden opportunities to accumulate as many fresh vegetables (sourced from the summer produce of local farms) as they can for a fixed rate per attempt. Watching this Nippon TV video is entertaining and informative. I encourage you all to watch it from start to finish.

    #3 1978 Interview Clip of Ingrid Bergman – If you have seen the classic movie Casablanca, you would remember the radiant beauty of Ingrid Bergman and her on-screen romance with Humphrey Bogart’s character. A few years before she passed away, Bergman was interviewed on TV and I posted below a short video excerpt for you to see. Not only will you learn from Bergman a notable revelation about her co-star’s presence behind the scenes of Casablanca’s production, you will see how intellectual and insightful she was. Go watch the video below.

    #4 The Indiana Jones Game Konami Was Never Allowed to Make – Time for retro gaming! Back in the 1980s, Konami was a very prolific producer of video games for both arcades and consoles. In 1987, Konami released Arumana no Kiseki for the Nintendo Family Computer (Famicom) disk system. What struck me when I first played the game was the many creative elements it shared with the 1984 film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The playable action hero was designed with close resemblance to Indiana Jones (complete with the fedora). The game even had locations that looked like they were ripped off from the 1984 movie. To learn more about Arumana no Kiseki, who created it and why it had lots of Indiana Jones-related elements in it, watch the video below.

    #5 Roger Moore Technically Played James Bond in The Cannonball Run – Released in 1981, The Cannonball Run was an all-star comedy film with an emphasis on racing and stunts. It was heavily inspired by a real-life illegal cross-country motor race that happened in America in the 1970s and the movie had the very popular celebrities of the time like Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Farrah Fawcett and Roger Moore. Moore, who was already famous as the cinematic James Bond, technically played Agent 007 in The Cannonball Run. If you are curious and you want to know more, go watch Calvin Dyson’s retrospective of the movie and Moore’s presence.

    #6 Jerusalem Walk Video – During the day-off of the Israel pilgrimage tour I joined in 2023, I took the rare opportunity to explore the city of Jerusalem on foot. I started the day at the Old City of Jerusalem where I visited the Temple Mount, the Western Wall and other holy sites before marching all the way to the modern part of Jerusalem going as far as the famous Mahane Yehuda market. This Jerusalem walk video brings back memories to me and if you love world travel, I encourage you to watch it.

  2. I was shopping at #Conestoga #Mall in #Waterloo #ON #Canada today. During my visit I walked through the #Zehrs #grocery store. They had little #MapleLeafs on many products, a large percentage of them #Fraudulently! Directly lying to their shoppers calling blatenly obvious #American products as Canadian.
    This after the
    #Loblaws stores #Illegally got caught stoking #US booze on their shelfs! So be aware that if you shop at any of their chain stores, they are lying to you and supporting the country who is at war with us!

  4. #PapaJohns Can Predict When Your Fridge Is Empty
    #NBC and #Instacart created a custom audience of shoppers who regularly purchase #grocery staples on Instacart, such as eggs, milk, meat and produce. Based on that data, Papa Johns can determine which days of the week certain consumers are likely to run out of groceries and serve them an #ad on #NBCU streaming content accordingly.

  6. Grocery prices are unsustainable. Feels like double in five years. 😕

    Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro slap on "local" stickers, but where's the actual effort to open up local and regional supply chains and support Canadian food sovereignty?

    The largest grocery chains in Canada aren't acting very "Canadian" at all.

    We deserve better, and our farmers deserve better!

  8. During #Antitrust Trial, Exec Admits #Kroger Jacked Up Milk and Egg Prices Above Inflation

    "The U.S. #grocery sector—dominated by Kroger, #Walmart, and a handful of other major companies—profited hugely during the Covid-19 pandemic as corporate giants exploited supply chain disruptions to aggressively jack up prices."

    Jake Johnson
    Aug 28, 2024

    "A top Kroger executive admitted under questioning from a Federal Trade Commission attorney on Tuesday that the grocery chain raised its egg and milk prices above the rate of inflation, a concession that came as no surprise to economists who have been highlighting #corporate #PriceGouging across the U.S. economy in recent years.

    "Andy Groff, Kroger's senior director for pricing, said during a court hearing on the FTC's legal challenge to the company's proposed acquisition of #Albertsons—its primary competitor—that Kroger's objective is to 'pass through our inflation to consumers.'

    "Groff's comment came in response to questioning about an internal email he sent to other Kroger executives in March. In that note, Groff observed that 'on milk and eggs, retail inflation has been significantly higher than cost inflation.'

    "A Kroger spokesperson told Bloomberg in a statement that the email was 'cherry-picked' and 'does not reflect Kroger's decadeslong business model to lower prices for customers by reducing its margins.'

    "But Rakeen Mabud, chief economist at the Groundwork Collaborative, noted Wednesday that 'execs all over the economy were saying this stuff on their earning calls back in 2021.'

    "'This was not a secret,' Mabud added."
