Apr 23: Headlines are a starting point, not the finish line 🔸 Why have Singapore and Hong Kong banned Everest and MDH spices? Hong Kong and Singaporean authorities have banned several spice mixes from popular Indian brands MDH and Everest due to concerns about a cancer-causing substance. They found ethylene oxide in the products. It is used as a sterilizing agent but can damage DNA and potentially lead to cancers like lymphoma, leukemia, stomach cancer, and breast cancer. The banned MDH spices include Madras Curry Powder, Sambhar Masala, and Curry Powder. Everest's Fish Curry Masala was also removed from shelves. 🔸 India to have its own shoe sizing system soon A nationwide study on the feet sizes of Indians was recently conducted to develop an Indian sizing system for footwear, tentatively named "Bha" (भ), which could potentially replace the existing UK/European and US sizing systems in India. The study revealed that Indians have wider feet than Europeans and Americans. Due to this, they often wear footwear that is a size larger than required, leading to injuries, shoe bites, and compromised foot health. (And I thought I used to walk wrong!) For reasons unknown, developing an Indian system was never undertaken. Now, Bha proposes eight footwear sizes: I – infants (0-1 year), II – babies (1-3 years), III – small children (4-6 years), IV – children (7-11 years), V – girls (12-13 years), VI – boys (12-14 years), VII – women (14 years+) and VIII – men (15 years+). The new sizing system is expected to be implemented in 2025. 🔸 His body makes its own alcohol, and he got caught for drunk-driving (later acquitted) Imagine getting pulled over for DUI, but you haven't touched a drop of alcohol! That's what happened to a guy in Belgium recently. Turns out, he has this super rare condition called auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) where his gut basically turns carbs into booze. The judge totally believed the guy because, well, he wasn't acting drunk. A doctor explained that ABS makes people produce ethanol, the same alcohol that's in drinks. You aren't born with ABS, but you can get it if you already have some other intestine-related problems. Some of the symptoms include slurred speech, dizziness, and difficulty with coordination, basically mimicking alcohol intoxication. 🔹 Bits and bytes: 1) The results of the Lok Sabha elections will be declared on June 4. But one BJP candidate from Surat has already won. This happened after the Congress candidate's nomination was rejected over alleged discrepancies. The eight other candidates from the Surat LS seat also withdrew their nominations. 2) Elon Musk's SpaceX continues to be one the most hazardous space organizations to work at, for the second consecutive year. Its Texas facility saw 5.9 injuries per 100 workers versus the industry average of 0.8 injuries.

⏳ Why the Right Watch Can Change Everything ⏳ A watch isn’t just something that tells time—it’s a reflection of who you are, what you’ve achieved, and where you’re headed. Think about the first time you wore a luxury watch: • You felt more confident walking into meetings. • You felt proud of how far you’ve come. • You felt inspired to keep pushing for more. That’s the power of a great watch. It’s not just an accessory—it’s a symbol. A reminder of the hard work, the sacrifices, and the moments that got you here. Here’s why your watch matters: • It’s an icebreaker: A luxury watch sparks conversations. People notice, and suddenly you’re sharing stories of craftsmanship, style, and success. • It reflects your journey: Whether it’s your first big investment or a piece passed down, your watch tells a story. Your story. • It’s a legacy: Watches outlive us. The best ones get passed down, carrying not just value, but memories and lessons from one generation to the next. At The Watchlist, we help people find the perfect timepiece to match their story. Because you deserve a watch that’s as timeless as you are. 💬 What’s the one watch you’ve always dreamed of owning? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️ ⌚ Ready to elevate your collection?

People are flocking to popular Chinese platform Xiaohongshu for honest, constructive feedback on improving their physical appearance. After advice seekers post their photos with the words 听劝 (ting quan, which translates to ‘listen to advice’), other users share their input, such as ‘make your eyebrows and hair the same color.’ In recent weeks, international users have started signing up to the app in droves, and the #tingquan hashtag has garnered over 500 million views globally. Over two decades ago, people turned to Hot or Not to have strangers rate their appearance on a scale from 1 to 10. Today, the number of likes on an Instagram selfie can serve the same purpose, but that's not the same as receiving a plainspoken evaluation and actionable advice. Read our Trend Bite for this innovation 👉 https://lnkd.in/dCSwbYtJ #crosscultural #beauty #innovation #trendwatching

CALL ME SHAGGY - TIME's BEST MATE When Covid lockdowns happened, the haircut was a much-missed luxury. Many had hair sprouting out of control, And in the colour department, that went amok! When caught in situations beyond our control: · Instead of trying to find a fix too quickly, let the tendrils meander, · You might discover waves or curls that warms up to you! · Or improvise with a cap, hat or band and flash a new style, · Even greys seem to have a place on your crown! How does this relate to your brand and marketing? In business, waiting and patience can take you: · To be more intentionally with your planning · Give sufficient time for your campaigns to play out · Train you to wait with a slower start to your responses · Measure too soon and your conclusion becomes premature · Campaigns only snowball if great foundations are laid out properly · With time as your friend to let it unfold to its potential in campaign outcome and brand look! So instead of being quick on the draw with a pair of scissors, let it sprout and call me Shaggy! You like? When has time being your partner?

How to reuse old viral trends in your ads: "Get Ready With Me" was a popular trend on YouTube 10 years ago that people brought to TikTok. The YouTube version was polished and professional. Like if you were inside a studio. The 2024 TikTok version is simpler: 1. You set up your phone camera 2. Get ready - do your hair, change clothes, skincare routine. 3. And tell a story - that can be completely unrelated. If you're going to use this trend for an ad, don't use the old format. It won't work. Go with the updated version.
