Buffalo grain silos being turned into huge beer ad

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- A cluster of 100-foot-tall grain silos in Buffalo is being turned into the world's largest six-pack. Crews are installing rolls of vinyl wrap spelling out Labatt Blue on six silos at the former GLF grain mill operation near the city's Lake Erie waterfront, home to several long-defunct grain elevators. The six silos have been painted blue to resemble huge Labatt beer cans. The silos are part of the Buffalo RiverWorks, a former grain elevator that's being transformed into a brewery, entertainment and recreation complex.

FTC to retailers: Drop your caffeinated drawers

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- If you purchased caffeine-infused underwear because of promises it will make you thinner, federal regulators say you were hoodwinked -- but at least you can get your money back. The Federal Trade Commission announced Monday that two companies -- Norm Thompson Outfitters of Oregon and Wacoal America Inc. of New Jersey -- have agreed to refund $1.5 million to consumers who purchased "shapewear" that supposedly can reduce cellulite and fat because it is infused with caffeine, vitamin E and other things.
