GROCERY STORE AND I SEE SOMEONE HAVING A MELTDOWN ABOUT WEARING
MASKSK I'M LIKE WELL, LET'S HEAR THEM OUT.

AND FINALLY, DID EVERYBODY SEE THIS, A FOUR YEAR OLD IS MAKING
HEADLINES AFTER MAKING AN ACCIDENTAL PURCHASE ON AMAZON.
HE ACCIDENTALLY BOUGHT $2,600 WORTH OF SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS
POSSIBLE SINGLES AND ALL 918 POPSICLES WERE DELIVERED.
YEAH.
ACCIDENTALLY.
THEY SHOULD REALLY BE A WARNING ON AMAZON WHERE IF SOMEONE
ORDERED 918 SPONGEBOB POPSICLES IT IS LIKE HEY, DID YOU REALLY
MEAN TO DO THIS?
BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE IT STILL IS A DECISION
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE PRESSED ON.
A CHILD ACCIDENTALLY SPENT OVER $2500 ONLINE JUST TO MAKE SURE
HE DOESN'T ORDER ANY POPSICLES AGAIN, THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN
FROZEN.
