Does color make a difference in windshield wiper fluid??
No color standards currently exist for windshield wiper fluid— the colors are mostly cosmetic.
BUT - Different color windshield wiper fluids are usually dyed for marketing purposes, and, depending on the brand can indicate different things:
Blue: Standard year-round fluid, effective for dust and road dirt.
Green: Summer driving, effective bug remover.
Orange: All-season with deicer, effective against ice and road salt.
Yellow: Winter with deicer, effective melting ice off the windshield with freeze protection up to -34 degrees.
Purple: Concentrated wiper fluid mix for summer.
Regardless of the color, read the label to determine if the windshield wiper fluid you plan to purchase meets your vehicle’s specific needs.

Hall vs. Oates. Daryl Hall is suing his Hall & Oates bandmate John Oates for alleged breach of contract, TMZ reports. Hall has also reportedly obtained a restraining order against Oates. The court file is sealed, though, meaning there aren't any details about what the lawsuit concerns. But TMZ speculated that perhaps "Hall thinks Oates has no right to sing their songs during his concerts," or they could be fighting over royalties. Either way, when Hall appeared on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast last year, he pointedly corrected Maher when the comedian referred to Oates as his partner. "He's my business partner," Hall insisted. "He's not my creative partner."

Interesting statistic
Brick-and-mortar stores had their best November two decades ago, when fewer than 2% of retail sales were online. Last year? Ecommerce made up 16% of holiday sales. But we can't just blame online shopping. Some electronics are so cheap now that their discounts aren't worth as much. As one retail expert put it, two decades ago, when flatscreen TVs cost $3,000 or more, a 20% discount was a big draw. Today, 20% saves you $16 on an $80 TV, and "I’m not standing in line at midnight for $16."

Last year, a record number of $50 bills – 756,096,000 of them, to be exact – were printed in the U.S., marking the most of that denomination printed in one year in over four decades.
In 2019, only 3.5% of all U.S. bills printed were $50s, but in 2022, that jumped to 8.5%.
You may be thinking that it’s because of inflation – a $20 bill just doesn’t cut it for much these days. The Federal Reserve, however, says that the boost in demand for $50s started during the pandemic. People started hoarding cash (you know, because it felt like the apocalypse was coming) and it’s easier to stash bigger bills.
