The Royal Challengers of Bengaluru and the Rajasthan Royals.
Each could go for over a billion bucks.
Pro sports teams.
They're one of the few truly finite things in this world.
Valuations from the NFL to the WNBA to cricket are at all-time highs.
Now time for the best fact yet.
This one sent in by Austin Johnson, a legendary Yeti from Seattle.
Earlier this week, we told you about Graza, the olive oil company that started putting olive oil in plastic bottles instead of green glass bottles.
Okay, but here's the question we're all wondering.
Why is olive oil always in green glass bottles?
And why is most wine in a green bottle?
But why is beer always in a brown glass bottle?
It's not random.
There's a reason for this, and the reason is sunlight.
Because clear glass lets in all the sun's harmful UV rays, it doesn't protect those liquid ingredients.
But green glass blocks more of the UV rays, so it protects the olive oil and the wine.
And brown glass blocks even more of the UV rays, and beer is the most sensitive of those liquids, which is why it's always in brown glass.
So the thing you've seen for years and decades and thought was random, it actually has a perfect rationale behind it.
Totally.
Colored glass, like sunscreen for luxury liquids.
