From Bubble to Pop: Mars Wrigley India Launches Boomer Lollipops
The launch introduces a flavour-filled lollipop in three punchy variants: Strawberry, Orange, and Watermelon — each crafted to resonate with the vibrant spirit of today's youth. With a campaign rooted in self-expression and confidence, Boomer Lollipop stands up for individuality and against bullying, echoing the progressive values the brand champions. Leading this charge is brand ambassador Jasprit Bumrah, whose calm confidence and effortless swag reflect everything the Boomer Lollipop stands for.
Backed by a high-energy TVC, the campaign unfolds on a cricket ground where a young player is faced with a hostile group. Just when it seems like the pressure might crack him, the Boomer Lollipop delivers an unexpected surge of swag, changing the game and transforming the player's vibe. Narrated by Jasprit Bumrah in his signature style, the story flips the script on intimidation with a light touch and a clear message —when you enjoy a Boomer Lollipop, your swagger speaks for itself, and you change the game.
'Boomer has stood for everything fun and strawberry at its core, for several generations. We are expanding this equity to the fast-growing segment of lollipops. Accompanying a strong launch in trade, we have Jasprit Bumrah lending his brand of fun and swag to Boomer Lollipop. The creative campaign crafted with DDB and Essence Mediacom projects the swag and attitude associated with Lollipops but perhaps lost over the last decade. From the factory to trade and in the media, our associates have added special touches to make this new launch truly unique and carve a space for Boomer at front of store and in people's minds.', said Nikhil Rao, Chief Marketing Officer, Mars Wrigley India.
'It's always great when you get to work on a brand with such a strong memory structure and a brand ambassador whose name also has an effortless connect to the brand. What we now had to do is bring it all together to give a new attitude to Boomer's newest format - Lollipop. - Rahul Mathew, CCO, DDB Mudra Group
Made in India at Mars Wrigley's Baddi facility, Boomer Lollipop represents the brand's commitment to local innovation and delivering relevant snacking choices for Gen Z. With a national rollout, it marks a new and expressive chapter in Boomer's legacy — one full of flavour, attitude and confidence.

Ravi Shastri Fumes 'Rubbish' After Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Anshul Kamboj Let England Off The Hook
After India notched 358 in the first innings on Day 2 of the fourth Test on Friday, all eyes were on Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Anshul Kamboj to deal England some crucial blows. Instead, England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley scored at a healthy run-rate, even going over 5.50 runs per over at one point of time. Mohammed Siraj returned with figures of 58/0 in 10 overs, while debutant Anshul Kamboj's numbers read 48/1 in 10 overs. Jasprit Bumrah created chances but missed wickets. Jasprit Bumrah returned with figures of 37/0 in 13 overs. Former India coach Ravi Shastri was left fuming when Crawley hit Siraj for a four down the ground in the 12th over. "Just not consistent enough. They will look back at this session and see, especially some of the boundary deliveries, that it's pretty ordinary stuff, at times rubbish,' he said on air. When asked, if he would have used the same words as coach, Shastri said: 'Absolutely, maybe in better terms. Maybe get the local lingo in there, which can sound harsher. Some harsh words will be exchanged by the coach and the bowling coach. That's how he puts it across. It's different. If he can't, then you step in and say exactly the same.' Half centuries from Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have put England in a commanding position after skipper Ben Stokes took his first five-wicket haul in eight years on day two of fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford on Thursday. At stumps, England reached 225/2 in 46 overs and trail India by 133 runs. Stokes' 5-72 helped England bowl out India for 358 – with Rishabh Pant coming out to bat and making a courageous 54 despite a fractured right foot - a knock that will be remembered for ages to come. Pant had retired hurt on 37, but his sheer willpower got him back at the crease – adding 17 more runs and ensuring India crossed 350-mark. Duckett (94) and Crawley (84) then put on a superb opening partnership of 166 off 195 balls to rattle India - falling before reaching their respective centuries. But with Joe Root and Ollie Pope unbeaten on 11 and 20 respectively, England will be confident to get a big score and take a first innings lead.

'Great Jeans': Sydney Sweeney campaign fuels American Eagle rally
American Eagle Outfitters surged 10 per cent on Thursday after unveiling a new denim campaign with Sydney Sweeney, as the apparel retailer bets on the "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus" actress to reconnect with Gen Z shoppers and boost sales. The company has partnered with Sweeney for its fall season denim collection that includes a limited-edition denim jacket as well as a "The Sydney Jean." The campaign, called "Sydney Sweeney Has Great (American Eagle) Jeans," is the company's latest effort to revive demand as it navigates muted consumer spending and higher potential costs due to tariffs. The retail industry in the United States has been struggling to spur demand as consumers grappling with financial constraints cut back on non-essential buys, including apparel and accessories. In May, American Eagle, which primarily sources from China, pulled its annual forecasts due to tariff uncertainty. "(The campaign) is its bid to stand out more and make some noise. Denim is popular right now, so putting money behind marketing it makes sense for American Eagle," GlobalData managing director Neil Saunders said. The Sweeney partnership is not the first time a celebrity tie-up has helped drive shares of a company. In 2020, Crocs shares jumped after singer Justin Bieber teased a collaboration with the shoe maker. American Eagle has previously teamed up with celebrities, including tennis player Coco Gauff and actress Jenna Ortega. "Well known personalities are always an easier way to tell a story quickly. It is one of the reasons athlete endorsements work so well," BMO Capital Markets analyst Simeon Siegel said. Sweeney's campaign, which launched on Wednesday and is reportedly the company's most expensive campaign to date, will also run across the exosphere of Las Vegas's 3D display orb Sphere. American Eagle's stock was discussed on retail trader-focused social media forums including Stocktwits and Reddit, indicating interest among small-time traders who have driven up shares of retailer Kohl's and other highly shorted names in recent days. Short interest in the company, whose shares were trading at $12 on Thursday, stood at 12.2 per cent of public float, according to LSEG data.

Vogue's flawless AI models debut in August issue — and longtime readers are cancelling subscriptions over it
Vogue's August issue has sparked intense debate by featuring 'AI models' instead of humans in some editorial shoots. The magazine labels each AI-enhanced image with a warning explaining it was 'produced with artificial intelligence,' alongside designer and producer credits. The flawlessly perfect body proportions flaunting luxury items are clearly AI-generated, and readers are cancelling subscriptions. Vogue's August issue with Anne Hathaway on the cover comes with AI models Inside the issue starring Anne Hathaway on the cover, Vogue introduces a digital lineup that looks straight out of a rendering engine. The AI-generated models appear alongside real products from high-end fashion houses, flaunting pristine skin, symmetrical features, and body proportions that seem custom-built for visual perfection. From sculpted cheekbones to digitally flawless complexions, each frame looks more like a luxury video game screenshot than a real-life editorial. The models are dressed in the season's latest couture and posed in stylised backdrops. While many have claimed that this tech-assisted approach allows for greater creative freedom, faster execution, and visual consistency across layouts, readers feel it lacks the rawness and personality that real models bring to the page. Vogue's August issue has begun to use 'AI models' instead of human models for some of their photoshoots. Fans react to AI-generated models Some fans argue that these computer-generated models strip away the human artistry that fashion is built on. Real models spend years mastering their craft—from walking and posing to enduring gruelling shoot schedules, intense skincare prep, strict fitness regimes, and the mental toll of constantly being camera-ready. They say that using AI imagery diminishes the dedication and physical effort that goes into professional modelling, replacing hard-earned authenticity with synthetic perfection. One user said, "Had to end the Vogue magazine subscription I've had for years because the latest magazine used AI models??? In Vogue? AI models in Vogue?" Had to end the Vogue magazine subscription I've had for years because the latest magazine used AI models ??? In Vogue? AI models in Vogue? "The downfall of Vogue. Their covers are trash. no creativity. and now using AI," another user said. the downfall of vogue. their covers are trash. no creativity. and now using AI. "Photo made by AI in Vogue magazine... In what world am I living in?" a third user mentioned. Photo made by ai in the vogue magazine.... In what world am I living in One individual shared a cautionary tale, writing, "True story: my Gen Z daughter is all about analogue. She subscribes to @voguemagazine and gets the physical copy in the mail. A new issue shows up. She's flipping through, stops, and says, 'Some of these models are AI.' I say maybe it's bad Photoshop. She's like, 'Nope. It's definitely AI. I'm cancelling.' Now to be fair, they're ads for a national brand, not Vogue editorial, but she doesn't care. Advertisers think Gen Z is hooked on AI and won't care. But some of them do. AI isn't always a flex. Sometimes it's the reason they bounce." Cautionary story: my Gen Z daughter is all about analog.

She's like,… Big names are already using AI models Vogue isn't the first fashion powerhouse to embrace AI-generated models. Several major brands have already tested this trend in their campaigns. In 2024, Mango used ultra-polished AI "glam models" to promote their collections, while H&M took things further by creating AI twins of 30 real-life models to experiment with virtual marketing. Levi Strauss also partnered with Dutch startup to build more inclusive virtual models that reflect a range of body types and ethnicities. Meanwhile, luxury giant Louis Vuitton has also dipped into the AI waters for promotional materials, signalling that even heritage labels are testing futuristic tools.
