Good evening!
If you took advantage of BFCM sales through the TikTok shop, you certainly aren’t alone.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🪖 OpenAI Is Partnering With A Major Defense Tech Company

If you have any email list of any size and want to squeeze more money out of it, you don't want to miss this:
3. 📦 Amazon Sued Over Alleged Zip Code Discrimination

5.🥤Coca-Cola Shifted Its Sustainability Goals
Coca-Cola is scaling back its sustainability goals, announcing its new aim to use 35-40% recycled material in its packaging by 2035 — eradicating its previous, more aggressive goal of 50% by 2030. This shift has drawn criticism from environmental groups as it may set a precedent for how other corporations move forward. (CNN)
6. 👀 Is TikTok Becoming the New Amazon?
Along with cute cat videos and viral dance trends, users can now hop on to TikTok to shop for their favorite products. With projected annual sales of $50 billion, the social media site is quickly joining the ranks as a top e-commerce platform, even amid the looming threat of a U.S. ban. (Morning Brew)
7. 💸 Dollar Stores Are Struggling To Win
Bargain stores Dollar General and Dollar Tree got hit hard this year as both retailers cut their full-year forecasts due to weaker-than-expected sales. Inflation and rising costs have heavily impacted their core customers, and both companies face ongoing issues like poor store conditions and lack of inventory leading them to lose market share to competitors like Walmart.
