"HR Approved": IKEA, Tesla, Other Companies Milk Viral Coldplay Clip
New Delhi: When a stadium jumbotron turned into an accidental expose of corporate drama, the internet did what it does best: made it viral. This time, major global brands also pounced and profited off of it. The now-famous video shows Andy Byron, now former CEO of data company Astronomer, with Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert in Boston. As the camera landed on them mid-embrace, Mr Byron awkwardly ducked out of frame, and Cabot buried her face in her hands, just as vocalist Chris Martin joked, "They're either having an affair or just very shy." That line lit the internet on fire and brands saw opportunity. Furniture retail brand IKEA posted a stuffed panda hugging an orangutan from behind on their Instagram. The caption read, "Don't get caught... without these! Drama-free cuddles guaranteed." The phrase "HR approved" was placed in the image.

"Posting a pic of you enjoying your loaner Tesla while your own one is in service is the equivalent of taking it to a Coldplay concert. Your car will know," the Elon Musk owned company wrote.

Splitting up couples," alongside the viral clip. It was also a self-aware dig at their seating policy.

The caption read, "Reminder: What happens on the Jumbotron does not always stay on the Jumbotron." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hulu (@hulu) Days after the viral video, Andy Byron resigned as CEO of Astronomer on July 19. The company appointed cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as interim CEO.

John Lewis said: "Combining dual action technology, this duvet works in response to your body's natural way to regulate temperature, helping to keep you comfortable night after night. How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. "The Temperate® fibre filling and HYDROCOOL® technology applied to the fabric work together to wick moisture away from the skin, helping you to enjoy a more restful night's sleep." More hacks to keep cool Corey Sims at CSDB revealed that a free hack to keep yourself cool at night is to freeze your bed sheets and pyjamas. The expert added that you can also fill a spray bottle with water, and use it to spray your curtains, which will lower the temperature of your home. "Dampen your curtains to cool the room," the expert advised toasty homeowners. "As air blows across the wet drapes, evaporating water absorbs heat and lowers the room temperature. "The hot weather also ensures the curtains dry quickly without smelling damp."
