Let's go to the lightning round.
Speaker AAll right, question number one.
Speaker AIn commemoration of the Tesco Club Card's 30th birthday, Tesco is launching a nightclub pop up for the 55% of Brits surveyed who feel nostalgic about the 90s and early aughts.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker AWhat club from the 90s would you most want reincarnated?
Speaker BOkay, okay.
Speaker BThat's easy, Anne.
Speaker AAnd the.
Speaker AThe whole, like, head bobbing SNL skit is optional.
Speaker AYeah, the Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell.
Speaker BI can never do that.
Speaker BFor me, it's easy.
Speaker BIt's light at the Bellagio, Ann, Because I had many nights at the Bellagio, many good nights at Light in the Bellagio.
Speaker BAnd that's actually where I met Mrs.
Speaker BOmnitok.
Speaker BWas on the dance floor, you know, rolled up to her, said, hey, how you doing?
Speaker BAll right, next one.
Speaker BLast month, Uber said it will soon roll out new accounts for senior citizens with a larger typeface, fewer buttons, and easier to follow instructions.
Speaker BBe honest.
Speaker BAnd when you heard this story, how much did you want this feature for yourself?
Speaker AI mean, I don't think I need all the features.
Speaker AHowever, I will say I do like the photo scavenger hunt that they give you from, like, some of the airports will, like, post pictures.
Speaker AI think it was in Paris last year where they, like had the photos that guide you.
Speaker ALike, look for this elevator, look for this street sign like that help lead you that way.
Speaker AI would definitely take that every single time.
Speaker ASo if that comes with the senior citizen Uber, sign me up.
Speaker BGood to go.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker AAll right, Chris.
Speaker AAuntie Anne's is rolling out a brand new layout to appeal to Gen Z.
Speaker AComing to a mall near you.
Speaker AI have to know, is there any mall treat that you can think of that is better than an Auntie Ann's pretzel?
Speaker BYeah, pretty much everything.
Speaker BI hate Aunt Dance pretzels.
Speaker BYeah, I do.
Speaker BAnd this is hard because I actually have an Aunt Ann and so shout out to her too.
Speaker BI'm doing lots of shout outs on this.
Speaker BNo, I hate them.
Speaker BThey don't have the right butter to salt to texture ratio.
Speaker BNo, I go.
Speaker BI go full on Bavarian with my pretzels.
Speaker AAnd have you tried the nuggets too?
Speaker ANo, those might be better for you.
Speaker AThey're not like, not definitely not better for you.
Speaker AThey are not good for you.
Speaker BBut I'm pretzel particular and pretzel particular.
Speaker AOh, they're so.
Speaker BNo, I totally disagree with you.
