Accio butterbeer!

Harry Potter is trending with a new book, a film and a play. You can now simply order his beloved butterbeer at this enormous coffee chain.

Harry Potter Butterbeer at Starbucks</h2
Someone at FavorFlav—we won't mention any names—looked up more than delightedly at this post. Starbucks sells a drink that looks suspiciously similar to the butterbeer that Harry Potter and company love drinking in J.K. Rowling’s book series. It is a limited-edition smoked butterscotch latte made with espresso, steamed milk, smoked butterscotch and some smoked butterscotch sugar. The downside: for now, it’s only available in the United States and Canada. Hopefully Starbucks Netherlands will come to its senses soon, since Harry Potter is back in full force with a new book, a play and a new film series set in the wizarding world. Accio butterbeer!

Albert Cuyp stalls must leave in the evening

As of March 1, all stalls and vending carts on the Albert Cuyp must be stored away every evening. The municipality wants the cleaning service to be able to clean the famous market better than it currently can. The majority of vendors rent a stall that is already dismantled at the end of the day, but for a group of vendors this new rule means they have to place their vending carts somewhere in storage. According to the vendors on the Cuyp, there is nowhere nearby to be found. On top of that, the carts are extremely heavy. The municipality will not start towing carts away yet, but it will enter into discussions with the traders.

Army of monkeys picks coconuts

Have you ever thought about how we get coconuts? Every day, an army of monkeys works high in the treetops to pick ripe drupes and throw them down. Exactly how monkeys know which nuts are ripe is the question, but they do manage to choose precisely the right ones. For a long time, people did this heavy and dangerous work, but monkeys are increasingly being used. It’s much cheaper, and the animals work faster. The monkeys can do this work very well, provided they are treated properly—and unfortunately, that is often not the case. Abuse is a daily occurrence. According to Lucky Peach, the little animals should be freed and people should be employed to pick the coconuts safely.
