Find your Valentine at the supermarket
Have you ever thought you might meet your true love while doing your grocery shopping? It could just happen that your Valentine approaches you at the supermarket this week. If you’re single, you can pick up a pink basket at Jumbo in Woerden and at various Albert Heijn locations. This way, other singles can see that you’re available. Or you can search for your perfect match yourself. Just make sure to check whether you also like the contents of his/her basket.

Spanish orange thieves
Five people have been arrested in Spain for stealing 4,000 kilos of oranges. Yes, we had to read that sentence twice too. Four thousand kilos—that’s a whole lot of oranges. Two cars and a van full, to be precise. What exactly they planned to do with those oranges is unknown.
The internet explodes over Lady Doritos
Maybe you heard about it too: supposedly, special Lady Doritos were going to be launched. They would be Doritos that make no noise and don’t leave your hands dirty, specially for women. Because women aren’t allowed to make noise when they eat chips?! Fortunately, this turned out to be a major misunderstanding. A statement by PepsiCo’s CEO had taken on a life of its own, and suddenly there was the Lady Dorito. After the internet exploded over it, it quickly became clear that the story had been taken out of context.
Women: We want equal pay for equal work and an end to sex discrimination in the workplace.
Society: Here’s a bag of Lady Doritos so you won’t have to crunch too loudly in front of your male colleagues.

What if Lady Doritos are just regular Doritos but when a woman buys a bag she only gets 77% of the chips a guy would.#LadyDoritos

We already have Doritos for women — they’re called Doritos, and they’re loved by millions.
