A new poll found the average American expects to watch 291 different shows and movies this year. That's between five and six new things a week. (The report says different "shows." So it doesn't sound like they just meant "episodes.")
The average person will watch 437 total hours of content. That's just over 18 full days spent staring at your TV each year.
Those numbers might start dropping soon though. 57% of us expect to CUT at least one of our streaming services this year. And of those people, the average person expects to drop three of them.
Here are the top things we care about when it comes to streaming services . . .
1. Do they have a wide variety of stuff?
2. How much does it cost?
3. How much original content do they have?
4. Do they have shows and movies your friends are talking about?

There is a silly debate that's happening on social media.
A TikTok is going viral, where a supermarket shopper is asking for the proper etiquette when it comes to those little dividers for the conveyor belt at check-out.
The question is: Whose job is it to place that divider: Do you put it at the end of your groceries when you're finished putting them up. Or does the person behind you place a divider before they start putting their groceries behind yours?
The comment section is filled with responses . . . and naturally, no one can agree. One person even got hostile about it, and said, quote, "It's your job, and if they don't say thank you, then you pick it back up again and put it back on the side."

The ramen brand Cup Noodles has partnered with an L.A. beauty label called HipDot to create a limited-edition makeup collection. It just launched this week on HipDot.com . . . and it was inspired by the "warm tones" of ramen noodle soup.
There's a "lip and cheek set" for $22 . . . a "pigment palette" for $26 . . . and a "collectors box" for $58. The box also comes with a powder puff, a makeup bag, and Cup Noodles CHOPSTICKS . . . and none of that stuff is sold separately.
The names of the pigment shades include: Ramen Noodle, Diced Carrots, Hot & Spicy, Teriyaki, Roasted Corn, Seasoning, Soy Sauce, and Spicy Chili.
The site is offering free shipping, but you have to order $75 worth of product, so you'd have to get at least two things. Of course, they also have non-Cup Noodles stuff. The pigment palette is also available at Ulta.com.

Today’s Useless Fact of the Day - Toyota is headquartered in the city of Toyota, Japan and was founded there, but is not named after the city. In fact, the city (originally called Koromo) renamed itself after the company in 1959, because Toyota had become so famous.
