I've seen some badly named businesses, but Spec's in Texas really takes the crown. I drove by thinking, “Wow, that’s a massive glasses store!” The rabbit in the logo is literally wearing glasses. Nope. Liquor store. Because nothing says booze like an optometrist bunny, apparently.

Never again buying a #Keurig. It already struggled to make a full cup, and now it’s completely broken in under a year. I’m furious. If you’re thinking about getting one this holiday season, beware — it’s not worth it.
