PepsiCo beat Wall Street expectations for first-quarter revenue on Tuesday as demand held steady for the soda and snacks giant's Tropicana juices and Cheetos in its international markets. Consumers have remained resilient and shelled out money for PepsiCo's Lays chips and 7UP products across the company's international markets, helping offset a slowdown witnessed in its major market United States. Several rounds of price hikes in the U.S. have led consumers in the region to push back on the company's sodas and juices as sticky inflation makes customers cautious with their spending.

When Adrian Stephenson played for Devon club Isca in the early Sixties, his team had to gain clearance from air traffic control to play in the middle of Exeter Airport’s aerodrome grass pitch. “As a centre-forward it was better than skinning oneself on the shale at Crystal Palace,” he recalled. “We all wondered if we would survive and our knees would quit.”

I always like to know what else, besides writing, authors have done with their lives. Anders Lustgarten’s debut novel comes with a lengthy and whimsical biography: he’s an award-winning playwright, a DJ, a prison teacher, a carpenter and an anti-corporate activist who has been arrested four times – the last of which sets the stage, unfortunately, for Three Burials.

First-quarter MAUs rose 19%, but missed Spotify's own guidance and a median of analysts' forecasts of 618 million.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is expected on Tuesday to approve a rule that would ban agreements commonly signed by workers not to join their employers' competitors, which it says limit worker mobility and suppress their pay. The five-member FTC, which enforces antitrust laws and currently has a Democratic majority under President Joe Biden, is scheduled to meet later on Tuesday to vote on the rule first proposed in January 2023. The FTC, Democrats and worker advocates who support the rule say it is necessary to rein in the increasingly common practice of requiring workers to sign so-called "noncompete" agreements, even in lower-paying service industries such as fast food and retail.
Billions of dollars in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan should easily win approval in the U.S. Senate this week, after the House of Representatives abruptly ended a months-long stalemate and approved the assistance in a rare Saturday session. The Senate on Tuesday will take up the package of four bills passed by the House, one providing $61 billion for Ukraine, a second with $26 billion for Israel, a third with $8.12 billion "to counter communist China" in the Indo-Pacific and a fourth that includes a potential ban on the social media app TikTok, measures for the transfer of seized Russian assets to Ukraine and new sanctions on Iran.
David Ellison, 41, would not be the first rich guy to arrive in Hollywood with a fat bank account and dreams of making movies, though the son of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison boasts the rarest of attributes for a budding media mogul: a Silicon Valley pedigree. In an industry where many get their start fetching coffee or moving props, Ellison spent summers writing computer code for his father's software company and getting insights on the movie business from Pixar Animation Studios co-founder Steve Jobs. Ellison is orchestrating a multi-step transaction that would result in the merger of his independent studio, Skydance Media, with Paramount.
During Monday's episode of Tori Spelling's misSPELLING podcast, the actress revealed that she once dated her former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star. "It was short. It's like we tried something and then we just went, 'Yeah, this isn't gonna work.' Like, the kissing didn't even make sense.'" Shannen, 53, appeared on the drama series from 1990 to 1994, while Brian, 50, was on the show from 1990 to 2000. Host Tori, who also starred in the show, admitted she couldn't see Shannen and Brian as a couple. "I can't imagine it now, either…”
Donald Trump is set to secure on Tuesday a stock bonus worth $1.3 billion from the company that operates his social media app Truth Social, equivalent to about half the majority stake he already owns in it, thanks to the wild rally in its shares. The award will take the former U.S. President's overall stake in the company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) , to $4.1 billion. While Trump has agreed not to sell any of his TMTG shares before September, the windfall represents a significant boost to his wealth, which Forbes pegs at $4.7 billion.
