Arby’s is running a promo in five cities this week called “New Year, Same You” and just added SALAD to their menu . . . but not really. They added three menu items that sound healthy but aren’t.  They’re just fake names for stuff they already have. If you step up to the counter and order a “Salad with Dressing” this week, you’ll get a Double Beef ‘N Cheddar sandwich . . . a “Green Smoothie” gets you a milkshake . . . and “Steamed Vegetables” gets you curly fries. The idea is you can cheat, but get around it on a technicality.  If anyone asks, you can say, “All I had for lunch was a salad and some steamed vegetables.”  And technically, you’re not lying. They’re only doing it at five locations in Cleveland, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago, and Atlanta.

The Consumer Electronics Show wrapped up over the weekend in Las Vegas. The Daily Express says the Roborock Saros Z70 is trending because it is a new robot vacuum with a retractable robotic arm.

Pricing is yet to be announced but it’s expected to hit the market in April.
