Formula 1 and Rolex are two of the most recognizable brands in the world. In 2013, the two companies entered into a long-term Global Partnership, with the watchmaker becoming the official timepiece of Formula 1. Precision timekeeping is just as important on the race-track as it is on the wrist, after all. That’s why, when Rolex offered us a behind-the-scenes … Continue reading

Ping a co-worker in the head with a foam dart and you’ll get an annoyed reaction at worst, but soak a co-worker with a water gun and you’ll find yourself in a meeting with HR. Jakks Pacific’s new Skid Shot blaster falls somewhere between the two. It automatically ingests and turns squares of toilet paper into sopping…
BMW has become the first global car manufacturer to obtain a license which will allow it to launch a ride-hailing service in China. The company is reportedly planning to launch the service in the People’s Republic next month. It has obtained the ride-hailing license in Chengdu which is the capital of the Sichuan province in Southwest China. The license has been obtained by BMW Mobility Service which is a fully owned subsidiary of the BMW Group.
BMW Group has already announced earlier this year that it’s increasing its stake in the Chinese joint venture with partner Brilliance China Automotive to 75 percent from 50 percent. Foreign firms are required to partner with local companies on such projects.
China has a substantial ride-hailing market which is worth an estimated $23 billion. That’s more than all other ride-hailing markets combined. Local giant Didi Chuxing dominates the market as it accounts for 90 percent of all bookings.
The specifics about BMW’s ride-hailing service will likely be released a bit closer to its launch. It’s said to go live in the country next month. BMW isn’t the only German auto giant that’s interested in the Chinese’s ride-hailing market. Daimler has also expressed an interest in launching a service in partnership with the Geely Group.

Nothing beats the smell of meat wafting up from under the Christmas tree. I’m just guessing that’s true, based on this gift wrap. I have no first-hand knowledge. I’ve never actually had meat under the tree. But if you want to incorporate some new aromas in between the cinnamon and pine of your holiday traditions, check out this wacky gift wrap that smells like Jimmy Dean sausage.
This holiday gift wrap from Jimmy Dean makes Christmas smell like breakfast. But to get yourself some, you have to submit a Jimmy Dean sausage recipe to their Recipe Gift Exchange and request the paper as your reward. You can also get a glass sausage tree ornament, a chef’s apron, or vinyl holiday music record. I’m not sure if those songs are about meat or not.
Jimmy Dean wants to make your holidays joyous and meat-filled. If it were up to Jimmy Dean, we’d leave some links and patties out for Santa instead of milk and cookies. I mean you might as well leave him a cold beer while you’re at it.
Also, I bet your dog eats your presents thinking there’s some tasty sausage inside.
