Credit: Beth Skawrecki You don’t know how many times in the past few years I saw that mini thermal printers existed, considered getting one, and then decided, no, it’s too silly and I’ll never use it.

Dunkin’ Refreshers are high in added sugar and can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. Ask for less sweetener or order a smaller size to reduce the sugar, or add a protein-rich snack. Opt for non-sweetened drinks more often, like water or unsweetened tea and coffee. When scanning the Dunkin’ menu for a thirst-quenching pick-me-up, the Dunkin’ Refresher might stand out as a light, fruity option. Made with green tea and fruit concentrate, it may be especially appealing if you’re looking for something that isn’t coffee.

When I reviewed the Whoop 5.0 and MG (and, earlier, the Whoop 4.0), I kept it to the basics—how the strap looks, works, and charges, and what activities it can track. But that’s only part of it: Now, I’m going to dive in to all the metrics Whoop reports and offer a reality check on what I’ve found most useful and what isn’t worth paying attention to. I haven’t worn the Whoop band as regularly as I do the Oura ring, for which I was able to give a four-year retrospective.…
