1. Billie Eilish is learning how much cereal costs

It can be hard to remember that Grammy Award winner Billie Eilish is still just a teenager, and not quite yet used to adult tasks. So when she took it upon herself to do some online grocery shopping, she got more than she bargained for. "I don't know what things cost because I've never been an adult before," she said in a cover story for Vanity Fair. "It's a really weird position I'm in. I feel kind of stupid because I'm like, I don't know how much Froot Loops are," the singer admitted. "I tried to order one box of Froot Loops and I was like, Oh yeah, sure. It's $35. I didn't know that that's expensive." She soon found out that $35 can get you 70 mini boxes of Froot Loops, leaving her with a lot of cereal to eat, and a life lesson learned.
