Flash of Lightning: Week of September 27th

This week's Flash that can he heard throughout the days on WRKO 680AM features these updates:

Skittles fans, are you happy about this new "lime up"?

How would you like to get paid time off to grieve the death of your beloved pet?

Censorship from another digital platform...is it warranted?

Jones' new soda...it's like Thanksgiving in your mouth!

Listen here for more!

Skittles finally brought back their original green lime flavor to their original candy packet. The announcement was met with cheers from the large amount of Skittles fans who have been grieving ever since the candy maker made a change to green apple 8 years ago...Are you happy about the change up? Vote in my poll below!

Columbia knows what's up! I unfortunately know the pain of losing a beloved pet and it takes a toll. It's devastating and damn it you need a minute (or a day or two) to process, grieve, and gather yourself! I honestly don't think you ever "get over it" you just move forward, learn to live without your pet any longer. According to THIS article, 6 out of 10 Columbian households are pet owners so this proposed bill definitely resonates with the citizens there and I think it should not only pass there but be proposed as law here, closer to home!

YouTube is just one of the online digital platforms cracking down on "misinformation" surrounding COVID-19 vaccines. The video content platform says they removed over 130,000 videos containing "harmful" information about the COVID-19 vaccines in the last year alone. YouTube is just putting their foot down even harder now by putting out THIS statement warning users that any content that violates their policy will be pulled off their site. They are also not above banning some YouTube accounts who have been outspoken against the COVID-19 vaccines. YouTube has already banned a number of high profile accounts...do you think the platform is unnecessarily censoring people or no?

I'm not really sold on the Turkey and Gravy soda...despite the fact that I no longer eat meat...I don't love the idea of "drinking" meat. Reports say the taste is more sweet than actual meaty but still...that's a "no for me dawg", how about you? Are you going to be pulling out the Jones Sodas this Thanksgiving?
