Interestingly, there are quite a few tool and outdoor-related deals, including another Dewalt bundle on a cordless drill and impact driver. While that deal is slightly more expensive, we’ve found an excellent alternative. Greenworks, as you may know, is an affordable outdoor gear and tool brand that’s best known for its lawn and mowing options. But it also makes tools like this 24-volt cordless drill and impact combo kit. It comes with the drill, an impact drive, two batteries, a charger, and a bag. All of that is yours for just $105 but split in two, that’s basically $52 per drill. Regularly $150, that saves you about $50 on an already well-priced set. Like most of the Prime Day deals you’ll want to shop this one soon before it sells out.

On July 3rd, the FDA prohibited the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food and beverages. Typically, we see brominated vegetable oil in citrus-flavored drinks, mostly sodas. The good news is that all the big boy soda brands quit using it long ago, but a lot of off-brand and store-brand sodas still do.

Some people think all orange juice is mostly the same. Tropicana would very much disagree. You could even say that Tropicana’s packaging and branding still had plenty of room to showcase the juicy giant’s distinctive qualities, like hand-graded Florida-sourced oranges to ensure peak flavor and its legacy as one of the first brands to deliver fresh juice nationwide. Moreover, they would likely tell you that OJ’s sweet, citrusy, thirst-quenching qualities weren’t being fully communicated on pack.
