Demanding Answers: NJ Company Accused Of Posing As Local Florists Nationwide
EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Customers nationwide are accusing a New Jersey company of posing as a local florist. They say instead of getting the flowers they ordered, they’re left with disappointing bouquets and broken hearts. RELATED: Family Of Michelle Troconis, Woman Accused In Jennifer Dulos' Presumed Death, Speaks Out When his local florist closed, Brian Woodruff, of Toms River, ordered a $70 “Ruby Romance” bouquet for his wife from TroysFlorist.com. “When I send her flowers, they’re usually nice and bigger. They’re big,” he told CBS2’s Lisa Rozner. Pictured on the right is the $70 bouquet Troys Florist customer Brian Woodruff ordered online, pictured on the left is the bouquet that was received (Photos Provided) His wife ended up receiving something worth a fraction of the price. “Very simple, very cheap, very disappointed,” Woodruff said. It was the same story when Susan Hatch, of Texas, thought she was sending a $100 “Beauty in Bloom” for a relative’s 105th birthday. Pictured on the left is the $100 arrangement Troys Florist customer Susan Hatch ordered online, pictured on the right is the arrangement that was received (Photos Provided) “Googled ‘local florists in Park Ridge, Illinois’ and they came to the top of the search engine,” Hatch said. Each time CBS2 searched for a “local florist” — from Plano, Texas, to West Milford, New Jersey — Troys Florist was one of the top results, boasting it’s a “family-run business” with a “huge loyal following within the community.” A former employee of Troys Florist says orders nationwide really go through a house on Route 18 in East Brunswick, New Jersey.

Timothee Chalamet, Dolly Parton, and the Many Celebs Who Cashed in on This Year’s Super Bowl Ads
While it’s never unusual for Hollywood’s biggest names to make cameos in Super Bowl commercials, this year there seems to be a flood of A-listers nabbing the primetime spots, which have been going for an estimated $5.5 million for just 30 seconds of airtime. The year 2020 was like no other in recent history due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And there’s been a notable shift in celebrities seeking out commercial spots, partly because big projects have been put on hold and celebs are more willing to film from their own homes while still pocketing a sizable paycheck. Big-name brands took advantage of the star-studded talent pool for Super Bowl LV, hiring famed athletes Serena Williams, Eli and Peyton Manning; sitcom characters Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander and The Office’s Leslie David Baker; musicians Lenny Kravitz, Dolly Parton, and Cardi B; actors Michael B. Jordan, Matthew McConaughey, and Amy Schumer. More than a dozen commercials featured household names and some are sure to have shelled out the big bucks to create ensemble casts. General Motors' promotion of its electric vehicles included Will Ferrell, Awkwafina, and Kenan Thompson and Cheetos’ had Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis team up with Shaggy to remix his hit song “Wasn’t Me.” Other companies are hoping for a touchdown commercial by offering cash prizes. Mountain Dew enlisted wrestler-turned-actor John Cena to announce that one sharp-eyed viewer would win $1 million if they could be the first to correctly count the number of Mountain Dew bottles in its commercial on Sunday night. As always, some missed the mark. Lenny Kravitz teamed up with Stella Artois for an ironically timed message to encourage people to “invest,” just days after the GameStop stock fiasco. What’s more, Kravitz declared everyone was a “billionaire” because they were simply alive. After the past year, it didn't seem the beer brand was reading the room. ...
