But for people like Suhani, the impact of tariffs on groceries can make a big difference.
Somebodrizes have changed and they keep changing, and yeah, so we need to recalculate our budget and our expenses depending on the new prices.

Yes, it has chowder and a rich history of politicians coming in for a bite to eat, but the Union Oyster House also popularized something we all use from time to time when all the plates have been cleared.
Once the Oyster House started giving out toothpicks and became common.
Practice, Manager Wes Hagen tells me the toothpick was first used in the United States at the Union Oyster House around eighteen ninety thanks to a curious man from May.
Charles Foster, who's from Charlestown in Maine, and he noticed down in Brazil that a lot of the people that live down there had very clean teeth.

The hired Harvard students and he said, I'll pay for your lunch, I'll pay for your dinner if you come into the Oyster House and you make a fuss at the end of the meal though you don't give out toothpicks. What kind of establishment is this?
And it worked. About a week later, Foster came in and sold his toothpicks, introducing America to the little wooden toothpickers in Boston. I'm Afridman, WBZ Boston's News Radio.
