Like so many Americans, we got the kids up before the sun was up and hit the road to our favorite outlet mall. After spending an hour on the road, it took almost as long to simply turn into the entrance of Woodbury Commons in Harriman, NY and that was just the beginning of our adventure. We’ll take you along our Black Friday experience and give you a little history lesson on the origins of this day after Thanksgiving tradition, and here’s a hint, it’s not what you’ve been told all of these years!

Even though T.J. and Amy have yet to be invited on one, apparently “Cousin Walks” are all the rage and have been for years now. Ever notice a group of family members, one-by-one disappear for a little while before Thanksgiving dinner? Maybe they said they’re “getting some ice," or “walking the dog," but what they’re actually doing is getting high. In fact, it’s become such a phenomenon, the cousin walk has been credited with creating what’s now become known as “Green Wednesday," one of the busiest days for marijuana dispensaries in this country.

Police are officially investigating claims Tara Reid has made that someone spiked her drink over the weekend at a hotel bar just outside of Chicago. Videos emerged of Reid looking wasted and out of control, after she says she only had a single glass of wine that she briefly stepped away from to smoke a cigarette. She was eventually taken out on a stretcher and to an area hospital, where Reid says workers told her she was “drugged.” Reid says she can’t remember much and said the hospital was “vague” about what was in her system, but filed a police report which prompted the investigation.  Police say they are now working with the hotel to go through surveillance video to find out what really happened that night.

One of the more disturbing stories of the week came out of a secret recording purportedly of a Campbell’s Soup executive. Former employee Robert Garza says he recorded his boss, Campbell’s Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer going on a tirade against the company, its products and some of its Indian Employees. Among the allegations, the man on the recording is heard saying that Campbell’s soup has bioengineered meat, saying he doesn’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer. Campbell’s Soup denies those claims and has put the exec on administrative leave while it investigates. Meantime the state of Florida is also investigating those claims and has threatened to shut down Campbell’s in its state if it finds any truth to the allegations.
