o Who knew the Queen was a gamer?
o She shared a love of the Nintendo Wii with Prince William and was gifted a gold Nintendo game console.
o Palace sources say she especially liked the Wii bowling game on it.
o The solid gold Wii console was a gift from the video game company THQ, that thought she couldn’t have just a plain old console.
o The gold game console ultimately ended up on eBay for $300,000 due to the Correspondence Team being unable to pass on “unsolicited gifts” to the queen for security reasons, as per the Buckingham Palace website.
o The console ended up in the hands of IT administrator Donny Fillerup, who bought it back in 2017 for an undisclosed amount after THQ went out of business in 2013.
o Fillerup said he was looking to get rid of the gold Nintendo and listed it on eBay with a starting bid of $300,000.

o They just unveiled new single-serve containers of cereal called "Insta-Bowls" that require you to JUST ADD WATER.
o There's powdered milk at the bottom, so you fill each one halfway with cold water to make the liquid.
o They're doing a test run at select Walmarts and plan to sell them nationwide through Walmart.com soon.
o Each bowl costs $2, which is way more than a normal bowl at home costs. So they think we'll pay extra for the convenient on-the-go aspect.
o Powdered milk has been around since the 1800s, so it's not clear why they've been sitting on the idea for so long.
o They've got four varieties to start: Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, and Raisin Bran Crunch.
