Saturday Edition - February 28, 2026

Good morning Member

Rise and shine, GrayViners! ☀️ I was thinking about all the trends we’ve seen come and go over the years. Remember when something new would pop up and everyone would say, “That won’t last”? Sometimes we’re right… and sometimes we’re very wrong.

What’s one trend you were sure would be a quick fad but is still going strong today? I’ll go first. I thought AI was just a passing tech trend, but it grew much faster than I expected. 🤯 Now I’d love to hear yours! Share it in the forum.

Take a little trip down memory lane, it’s “Would the Grandkids Know This One?” time! Remember this old word? “4-sho”.

Share your answers here for a shot at next week’s spotlight! If you played last round, check the shout-outs—you might spot your name. We’re sharing a Walmart dairy recall, a $6.5M settlement, retirement tips that could free up thousands, limited-time restaurant deals, and more.
