KFC introduces a limited‑edition summer menu featuring tandoori‑inspired items, including Tandoori Loaded Fries, iced matcha drinks, Crispy Naan sandwiches and a large Tandoori Dipping Feast. Social media reactions show strong enthusiasm, and the promotion runs until August 23. Previous limited‑edition pickle‑themed items from March are also noted.

A woman bought a £35 marble fragment from a Cancer Research UK shop that she believes may be part of a 2,000‑year‑old Roman statue, prompting widespread debate on Reddit over its authenticity. Commenters questioned the item’s provenance and the credibility of its accompanying story, while the buyer said the shop manager knew the previous owner and that the piece was obtained during 1960s excavations at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. She plans to have the object examined, noting that the worst outcome is simply having made a donation to charity.
