Lots of talk about injustice in Russia, but this one really hurts: Domino's canceled a man's lifetime supply after he joined a 2018 promotional campaign by tattooing the company's logo on his leg. Dmitry Mezentsev sued to reclaim his 100 medium free pizzas, every year for a century. He lost. :(

"#Trump was on the mother of all sugar highs after #Venezuela.
