🔥 The Hot Corner

💬 Quoted… “[The term] 'Taco Tuesday' should belong to all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos."

  • Using this argument, Taco Bell filed a petition in May aiming to cancel the “Taco Tuesday” trademark that its small Wyoming-based competitor, Taco John’s, has owned since 1989. And – after Taco John’s said yesterday that it’ll abandon its longtime registration with the US Patent and Trademark Office – the fast-food giant now has its wish.

⚽ Stat of the Day: Yesterday, Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas said the club expects Lionel Messi’s arrival to double its revenues over the next 12 months, as well as boost the team’s valuation from $600 million to at least $1.3 billion over the same period.

🤔 Did You Know?... Detroit is the largest US city to ever declare bankruptcy, with between $18 billion and $20 billion in total debt at the time of filing; the declaration occurred exactly ten years ago yesterday.
