To highlight this, she presented a pie chart displaying the majority of people love her. As a result of this commonality, she announced that her face will be printed on all M&M's packaging. She expressed her delight in eating candy bearing her own likeness and conveyed her love for it. **Baja Blast. **Mountain Dew just released a hot sauce that is inspired by the popular "[Baja Blast](https://www.mountaindew.com/bajablasthotsauce/)" flavor of the soda.

The sauce is aimed at fans of this soda who are looking for a new way to enjoy the familiar taste. ## Retail technology **Scan-and-go checkout. **This technology allows customers to scan items as they shop using their mobile devices, and then pay for them through the store's app. The [scan-and-go checkout](https://www.retaildive.com/news/grocers-weigh-scan-and-go-checkout/641170/) is seen as a way for grocers to compete with Amazon and other e-commerce companies, as well as to improve the shopping experience for customers. However, some grocers are concerned about the cost of implementing such technology and the potential loss of jobs due to self-checkout. **Technology at the NRF.  **Here are 6 of the biggest tech updates at the National Retail Federation (NRF) 2022 event. The updates include: 1) advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, 2) the growing use of virtual and augmented reality in retail, 3) the increasing adoption of voice-enabled technology, 4) the growth of "smart" stores, 5) the expansion of contactless payments, and 6) the development of new delivery and logistics technologies. The [NRF 2022 event ](https://www.grocerydive.com/news/top-6-tech-updates-nrf-2023/640779/)showcased how these technologies are being used by retailers to improve the customer experience, increase efficiency, and drive sales. ## Expert advice **Diving down inflation.** *“Will consumer resistance to higher prices likely be the primary factor driving down inflation?”* This is the topic of one of the [latest discussions on RetailWire](https://retailwire.com/discussion/will-consumer-anger-drive-down-inflation/) where various retail experts shared their thoughts on the topic.
