Shady Optical Illusion: Crazy Diamonds
I admit, I read the comments on YouTube for a clue to how this trick works: [spoiler] all of the diamonds are the same, they just all have a gradient on them. Seems obvious now!

Soda Pop
This is dedication. If you’re in LA, perhaps you’ve gone by here. “John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination. About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world. John has made it his mission to keep small soda-makers afloat and help them find their consumers. Galcos also acts as a distributor for restaurants and bars along the West Coast, spreading the gospel of soda made with cane sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup if John can avoid it).” Via
