5 things
1️⃣ Vape concerns: Vaping has an immediate effect on how well the user’s blood vessels work — even if the e-cigarette doesn’t contain nicotine, new research found. Scientists say this may mean that vaping regularly could lead to low oxygen levels and vascular disease.
2️⃣ Sliding sales: Lunchables used to be a smashing success, but the plan to get on school lunch menus backfired and led to a firestorm of criticism from child-nutrition advocates. Now parent company Kraft Heinz is scrambling to save the brand.
3️⃣ Cruise comforts: The first megaship debuted more than three decades ago, and the race to add bigger and more elaborate features at sea has been intensifying ever since. These are the buzzy perks that are attracting new passengers.
4️⃣ ‘Space Gal’: MIT engineer and TV host Emily Calandrelli became the 100th woman to venture into space, and she received hundreds of messages of support — along with some offensive comments from trolls. She’s not letting them ruin her unforgettable experience.
5️⃣ Holiday movies: There are plenty of classics to watch, of course, but if you’re in the mood for something new, our entertainment team put together a list of the biggest and brightest titles to light up those short winter days and silent nights.
