Huge twist in fate of two bankrupt retailers
Big Lots and Party City could both be saved from closure.
I think it might be too late for the Party City next to my local Trader Joe's. I went grocery shopping this morning and the Party City was almost completely devoid of merchandise from what I could see from the outside.
One option would be to get bought out by the Canadian operations.
Not sure how out of the way these are for you, but the sit-down locations in Silverdale and Puyallup appear to still be open, as well as a number of pick-up/takeout counters in gas stations or convenience stores. Source: https://www.skippers.com/find-us and https://skipperspuyallup.com/

Never had these before, myself.
I prefer milk chocolate almonds.
I'll never forgive them for buying out The Bon Marche, gutting them and rebranding them as Macy's.Macy's will close 66 stores this year. Here is where they are.

That's really disappointing. I haven't had one in years, but I remember really liking them.
As someone who doesn't like cherries, I always found chocolate-covered cherries to be a huge letdown.
It's dark chocolate for me. (It's good for you!) And the hierarchy goes something like this:
#4 - Dark chocolate covered cranberries
#3 - Dark chocolate covered almonds
#2 - Dark chocolate covered cherries (actual dried cherries, not the maraschino-style ones in the candies like Cherry Blossoms and Queen Anne... although admittedly I like them too)
And #1 -> Dark chocolate covered ginger!

I've seen them sitting on the shelves and always wondered who bought them. I'd figured they've been sitting there for years.
The original Burgermaster location, which opened 73 years ago, is set to close next month as the property has been sold to a real estate developer who plans to construct a mixed use complex.
Fun fact, Bill Gates used to eat there regularly in college and it was there that he hatched the plans for what would eventually become Microsoft.

The only good ones we get up here are the mint ones. I would have been all over a s’mores version.
After 18 years, Sony's recordable Blu-ray media production draws to a close — will shut last factory in Feb (Updated)
MiniDiscs for recording, MD data for recording, and MiniDV cassettes will also be abandoned.
To be clear, these are for blank, burnable blu-rays that you record yourself. Sony is still producing commercial discs of movies and shows that you buy, as are other manufacturers. And other companies make burnable blank blu-rays, so even if you do record your own discs, there's still going to be a supply for the foreseeable future.After 18 years, Sony's recordable Blu-ray media production draws to a close — will shut last factory in Feb (Updated)

I actually just recently had to burn a DVD for the first time in about a decade for my nephew. It took longer to find the software to do it (that didn't cost an ostentatious amount of money) than it did to dig out an old spool of blank DVDs.
