Today's data selection: Starbucks involved in 9.9 price war; India's heatstroke death toll may be underestimated
Recently, many consumers revealed to reporters that their Starbucks app has added many limited-time coupons, including 49.9 for three cups, 39.9 for double cups, 30% off coupons for a single cup, etc. On the takeout platform, popular products such as Starbucks lattes and Frappuccinos, whose original prices started with three characters, now only cost more than ten or twenty yuan. Some consumers even bought Starbucks drinks worth 9.9 yuan by snapping up exclusive coupons and stacking red envelopes.
Although there is no direct price reduction, Starbucks has achieved disguised price reductions by launching coupons on major platforms. This is undoubtedly a sign of humiliation for Starbucks, which has always adhered to the high-end route.
Expert advice: daily cherry intake should not exceed 250 grams
Cherries are crisp, sweet, juicy, and rich in nutrients. Their iron content ranks first among fruits, and their potassium content and antioxidant activity are very high. However, there are some precautions when eating cherries. Experts say that an average adult should not consume more than 250 grams of cherries a day; in addition, the potassium content in cherries is relatively high, so those with renal insufficiency should eat with caution to avoid hyperkalemia.
In a corner that adults don't know much about, the little genius has expanded his own territory and world. The little genius watch, which allows you to add friends with just a touch, has become a hard currency for children's social life. Smart watches that are more suitable for Chinese parents’ physiques sold 100 million yuan last year.
Chao News recently reported that the parents of a fourth grade primary school student in Hangzhou are very troubled: their children must buy the latest Z10 phone watch from Xiaocai Tiancai as a summer gift. This Z10 sells for up to 2,299 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of a brand new mobile phone. It is reported that this new product is currently the most expensive one in the Xiaotiantian phone watch series, but the high price has not stopped the new product from selling well.
The Z10 was launched in mid-May. Many stores have reported that the new product is very popular and reservations are currently required. Blue Whale reporters found that, taking the data from the Douyin live broadcast room of "Little Talent Official Flagship Store" as an example, this new product priced at 2,299 yuan has sold nearly 2.5 million yuan in 7 days. In Tmall and JD flagship stores, Z10 has sold more than 12,000 units.
According to smart technology fans, in the long-term battle against HIV, scientists have faced huge challenges brought about by the high variability of the virus, which makes it extremely difficult to develop effective preventive vaccines. However, recently, a team of foreign scientists used advanced immunological technology to successfully activate the immune systems of mice and macaques and generate precursor B cells that can produce HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies. In addition, by analyzing human blood samples, the scientists found that precursors of these antibodies naturally occur in people who are not infected with HIV and can be isolated. This research may help humans make progress in the development of defensive HIV vaccines.
Recently, a severe heat wave has hit India, with temperatures in many places exceeding 45 degrees Celsius for several days, resulting in dozens of deaths. Local officials said on the 2nd that 33 election staff in Uttar Pradesh died of heatstroke on the 1st. Indian media believe that the number of heat stroke deaths in various places may be seriously underestimated.
Reuters reported on the 3rd that from March to May, more than 25,000 cases of heatstroke occurred in India, resulting in at least 56 deaths. Indian media said that the current statistics on heat stroke and deaths from heat stroke rely on data reported by various places, which is lagging behind. The actual death toll may far exceed the data released by the government.
