Darth Vader's Famous Lightsaber 

Top Chef’s Guilty Pleasure

Chef's Love Their Crunchwraps 

The lightsaber used by Darth Vader in the iconic "I am your father" duel with Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back is going up for auction on Nov. 12. The prop was also used in Return of the Jedi. The lightsaber Vader used in one of the most famous scenes in movie history is going up for auction, and it could sell for more than $1 million. 

Some of America's top chefs say they genuinely enjoy Taco Bell, proving that even culinary experts sometimes reach for a Crunchwrap instead of a tasting menu.

Amazon’s Hidden Profiles 

Walmart Goes All-In on Robots

The Waffle House Index 

Amazon has an "About You" page that provides a snapshot of interests and preferences inferred from your activity, and many users are only now discovering how much information is included in it. 

Walmart says the investment is aimed at helping the company keep pace with growing e-commerce demand while lowering long-term operating costs. Walmart is transforming its supply chain with large-scale warehouse automation, betting that robots and AI will make deliveries faster, inventory more accurate, and operations more efficient. 

If a Waffle House closes during a hurricane, it's often a sign the storm has caused significant damage. That's why emergency managers jokingly but seriously use the "Waffle House Index" as a real-world measure of storm severity.
