For the first time since 1925, Coca-Cola has moved its secret recipe out of a bank vault, and put it on display in the company's World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta. But "on display" doesn't exactly mean visible, since the exhibit includes its own vault, which is about all visitors will be able to see. More »

If you're a tax official in India, you might want to think twice about upsetting farmers who just might be snake charmers. Two farmers, one of them handy with the slithery beasts, dumped around 40 snakes in a busy tax office in northern India to protest alleged bribery demands. More »

Bill Introduced To Let Robots Call Your Cellphone
By Ben Popken on September 29, 2011 3:00 PM
104 Comments
Since '91, it's been illegal for telemarketers to use autodialers and other robot-like devices to call your cellphone. Last week, a bill was introduced to change that. While in the past email hoaxes have gone around saying that your cellphone could be opened up to telemarketers, HR 3035 seeks to let businesses contact your cellphone "for informational purposes."

By Chris Morran on August 3, 2011 2:30 PM

Regular readers of Consumerist know that we cover a lot of recalls — from faulty booster seats to wine openers with potentially bloody consequences — many of them announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. We recently met with CPSC chair Inez Tenenbaum to discuss how the commission works with manufacturers on everything from the recall process to new standards on lead and drop-side cribs, and why some within the commission are attempting to scuttle its new products database.

Last week, FCC commissioner Meredith Atwell Baker raised a lot of eyebrows when — only months after voting to approve the controversial merger of Comcast and NBC — she announced she would be jumping ship to become Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, NBCUniversal.

FCC Commissioner Michael Copps Talks Mergers With Consumerist
By Chris Morran on April 22, 2011 2:45 PM
12 Comments
Of the commissioners on the FCC, Michael Copps is easily the most outspoken in his opinion on media consolidation. In January, he was the only commissioner to vote against the sale of NBC to Comcast, saying that the deal "grievously fails the public interest." More recently, he's expressed his skepticism about how smoothly the AT&T purchase of T-Mobile USA will go. And he's also a cool enough guy to sit down for a chat with Consumerist. More »

NJ Cracks Down On Cops Juicing
By Ben Popken on January 11, 2011 11:00 AM

After a damning Star Ledger investigation exposed how a local doctor was the steroid dealer for "hundreds" of New Jersey cops and firefighters, lawmakers there have put forth a bill to crack down on the practice. The law would add steroids to the list of drugs law enforcement is randomly tested for and personnel would need to get a health checkup before they could be prescribed anabolic steroids and growth hormones. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that the problem is not limited to the Garden State. More »

Starbucks has a new logo! It's basically just the same one they currently have, minus those pesky words that say Starbucks Coffee. Coffee, we assume, was the primary problem. Why? Because Starbucks is a fast food joint. More »

Minnesota senator Al Franken is doing what he can to throw a wrench into the merger between cable giant Comcast and NBC, the network he once called home during his years on Saturday Night Live. Yesterday, he asked the Justice Department to investigate whether or not Comcast violated anti-trust laws when it announced who would fill the top positions in the acquired company, even though the deal has yet to get DOJ approval.

American Family Association Calls Off Boycott On Dick's Sporting Goods Over 'Christmas'

My how things change overnight. Yesterday, we told you about the far-from-loony folks at the American Family Association who had called for their members to boycott Dick's Sporting Goods because the retail chain used the word "holiday" instead of "Christmas" for its November and December sales circulars. Now the AFA has announced that it's called off the boycott because Dick's will be using that word after all. More »

Last week Meg McLain's story lit up the internet. She says she was cuffed, her ticket was ripped up, and she was kicked out of the airport after she refused the body scanner and tried to ask questions about the pat-down. The TSA took it seriously enough to quickly post security footage of the incident on their blog. I reached Meg by phone to find out more about what happened, and, especially, why she refused the body scanner in the first place. Here is the interview, which has been condensed and edited. More »
