Dwayne The Rock Johnson is arguably one of the most famous people on the planet at this point. From his wrestling career to now an A-list action movies star. But this wasn’t always the case. When he was younger and didn’t have a lot of money he would go to the same 7-11 store near where he lived and steal a Snickers bar every day.
Now years later he wanted to make things right with the store for all those years of shoplifting. So he recently went back to the same store and bought all the Snickers bars on the shelf. Paying full price for them all. He also bought everyone’s stuff who was waiting in line for making them wait to ring up all the candy bars. He agree to take pictures with them all too. As you can imagine they were shocked to see him there.
Cyber Monday is in full effect today. Hope you’re getting all those deals! But when did this all start and why?
The term “Cyber Monday” was first used in the early 2000’s by an e-commerce expert named Ellen Davis who was analyzing shopping trends during the holidays.
Her findings saw that the Monday after Thanksgiving, it seemed like millions of people would get back to their office and buy all the products they saw in stores over the long weekend. The question became why wait till Monday? You have to remember back then the internet speeds were AWFUL. Usually your work internet was broadband and much faster than the dial up connection you had in your living room.
