42 million pints of beer were allegedly consumed by British fans watching the England-Ukraine game in the UK. The UK alcohol industry reported that data collected shows an estimated 23 million pints of beer were purchased for home consumption with another 19 million pints consumed in bars. This is a record figure of beer consumption.

Fans watching the match in bars, in the official Euro 2020 fan zone in Trafalgar Square or at the comfort of their own homes amounted to around 21 million English fans. The English team secured a place in the Euro 2020 semifinals last Saturday after beating Ukraine 4-0.

Balenciaga High-Vis jacket selling for whopping $4000

Jul 6 2021

French label Balenciaga is known for both its cutting-edge designs and their insane price tags to match them up. The latest inspiration for its current line has apparently come from high-vis jackets, and its selling at the insane price of $4000. The neon yellow ‘men’s reversible parka’ is being sold on the Balenciaga website and features the letters BLNCG as logo.

The jacket comes in two sizes – French sizes 44 and 46, which are equivalent to extra small and small. With two slash pockets, a concealed zipped closure with snaps and a foldable hood with drawstrings, the jacket is completely reversible. This means you get two coats for the price of one… sort of. The release was met with both intrigue and skepticism, with some asking why construction jackets are becoming a fashion statement.
