Kylie took to Instagram to advertise her vodka seltzer variety pack, Sprinter.
The photos included close-ups of the details on the cans, color palette selections, and the products getting produced at a factory.
She captioned her post: “Soon. 3.21 nationwide,” teasing the drop date of her latest business endeavor.
Skeptics aren’t the most enthusiastic about Kylie’s latest business venture, and several took to an online forum to discuss her new seltzer.

One fan asked, “What is Kylie doing?” and continued, “She’s launching so many quarter-a***d brands.”
“It’s giving confused branding and desperate for something to stick,” the same skeptic ranted.
“There are too many popular brands of Seltzers that she can’t beat,” a second stated.
“Her brand will not sell,” the follower declared.
“She is all over the place lately – the name sprinter is random,” a fan added, and one simply asked, “But why?”
COPYCAT KYLIE?
Other of Kylie’s doubters say she’s “trying to compete” with her sister Kendall’s tequila brand.

Kendall announced she would be entering the liquor business at the start of 2021, and launched 818 Tequila later that year.
Fans have been calling Kylie out for the business move, with one writing on a forum, “This family loves to copy each other’s businesses.”
“She always copies her sisters’ ideas… first she copied KHY from Skims and now it’s Sprinter from Kendall,” a second pointed out.
The same doubter posted, “When does this stop?”
“She’s throwing businesses at the wall until something sticks,” another skeptic guessed.
“It just keeps getting worse. Girl, sit back and enjoy the money you already have,” a fourth suggested.
‘BEST TASTING’
Kylie’s new line of canned cocktails will come in four flavors: lime, grapefruit, black cherry, and peach.
The ready-to-drink cans, which are 100 calories each, contain premium vodka, real fruit juice, and sparkling water.
The drinks will be available for purchase in eight-can variety packs starting March 21.
The nationwide launch comes after a year of testing done by Kylie and Chandra Richter, a beverage development expert.

In a press release, the Hulu star revealed her product was the “best-tasting vodka soda,” adding that she had tried many before.
Kylie also shared the exciting news in a new Instagram video, which showed her sipping on Sprinter while enjoying a dip in the pool.

One of the main factors that decide the success of an action movie is the authenticity of its action sequences. Excessive use of CGI often leads to poor audience ratings, so filmmakers create those action-packed sequences in real life. Without a doubt, actors like Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson are dominating the action genre today, however, there was another film, featuring Keanu Reeves, that was made two decades ago that contained authentic stunts.
Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, 2003’s The Matrix Reloaded, is arguably the best movie in the Matrix franchise. There is an iconic motorcycle chase scene in the movie that was made entirely on a 1.5-mile stretch of fake freeway. With the help of some visual effects, the scene came to fruition.

2003’s The Matrix Reloaded was well-received by the fans. The film contained some memorable action scenes that managed to captivate the audience. One of these scenes was the motorcycle chase scene. The scene was shot over the course of three months, with a combination of some scenes shot on an actual freeway and some visual effects. The 1.5-mile stretch of fake freeway was actually constructed just for the scene.
The movie was the sequel to The Matrix (1999) and the second installment in the Matrix film series. The film featured Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Gloria Foster.
What was the damage from the Keanu Reeves movie?

The results of performing these stunts on a real freeway cost a lot of money. Over 300 vehicles were destroyed, which can be reflected in the extensive budget of the film, which was expected to be somewhere between $127–150 million.
The stars of the movie, Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves did most of their stunts on their own. The Wachowski sisters managed to give fans some death-defying stunts that push the boundaries of what is visually possible. Without a doubt, The Matrix Reloaded‘s stunts make it one of the most iconic movies in the history of action movies.

One thing that has remained constant in Hollywood since it came into existence is the audiences’ love for action movies. The high-octane sequences, explosive special effects, and cheeky one-liners deliver fans an immersive cinematic experience.
It doesn’t matter if the movie is set in futuristic dystopias, a historical era, or contemporary urban landscapes, Hollywood action movies always manage to captivate the audience and earn big at the global box office continuing to push cinematic boundaries, providing an unforgettable experience for cinephiles.
The Matrix Reloaded is available for streaming on Max.
There have been an untold number of well-publicized royal scandals over the years, many points in history where the ongoings of the British monarchy have dominated newspaper headlines and whipped the general public into a frenzy.
The current state of affairs must surely rank among the most tantalizing.
Not only has the whole saga regarding Kate Middleton’s recovery from a mysterious abdominal procedure captivated all and sundry since January, but King Charles also received a shock cancer diagnosis. That’s not to mention the ever-present controversy where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are concerned.
In most other decades the reigning monarch’s fight against cancer would be the focal point of the media attention. It speaks volumes, then, that the maelstrom of speculation surrounding Kate has virtually pushed all other topics into the shadows.

It could be argued that the royals only have themselves to blame for the intense scrutiny placed upon Kate’s recovery. Aside from confirming that the Princess of Wales was undergoing a “planned abdominal procedure” in January, adding that she would be out of action until around Easter time, the Palace has been thrifty to the point of arousing suspicion with its updates.
Just what Kate was suffering from that required surgery remains unknown to the public. Compounding the sense of confusion was the fact that Kate – until last week – hadn’t been seen since Christmas.
And if the vacuum of concrete information brought the pot of speculation to boiling point, the debacle surrounding the image of Kate and her children released to mark Mother’s Day in the UK blew the lid off with such force that the various conspiracy theories suddenly became of interest worldwide.
Among the mostly hotly debated possibilities was that Kate and Prince William were experiencing marital troubles, the likes of which had left Kate with no option but to withdraw from the spotlight until a solution could be found.
At this stage we’d be remiss in our duties if we didn’t point out that any and all reports of William and Kate’s romance being in crisis remain unconfirmed. That said, the topic has generated enough attention to make it an undeniable fact that the public are at the very least extremely intrigued.
The crux of the aforementioned marital bother William and Kate are purported to have found themselves in centers around the rumor that William had engaged in an affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
According to reports, Rose and her husband David Rocksavage, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, have been in William and Kate’s social circle for some time. Once upon a time, the ever-reliable Sun newspaper tried to flog speculation that Kate and Rose had a falling out (leading to a not-insignificant amount of people claiming the cause was an affair between Rose and William).

And it seems as though that candle of scandal continues to burn even today, some five years since The Sun published the aforesaid information.
Last week there were multiple articles written about Rose – in the midst of the media throng to find out where Kate Middleton was – with some news outlets even being accused of ‘soft-launching’ the Marchioness in preparation for a time wherein her alleged affair with William became official news.
Of course, the outlandish rumors appear to be just that… outlandish. Even so, Rose Hanbury herself was bothered enough to break her silence and firmly deny that any affair had ever taken place.
As per reports, Business Insider reached out to Rose’s lawyers this weekend for comment. The reply they got read: “The rumors are completely false.”
So there you have it… case closed, perhaps, maybe, for now.
