Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Why? Flaunt US global superiority, especially towards the USSR.

It had nothing to do with avoiding a ground invasion. Japan only wanted one condition before it surrendered: preserve the Emperor's life and position. US granted this condition after bombing, after killing 200,000 women, children, and elderly.

Blockbuster + Nestlé: Relaxe! Watch a movie! Get a free movie rental when you buy a can of formula! Oh, whoops, breasts stopped producing milk? You better hope you chose a really good movie, because you might not ever breastfeed your child again. I would hate to have to explain to my child, "Sorry, I ran out of milk after 4 weeks because I watched Ishtar." (If you go 24 hours without breastfeeding, your milk supply will diminish).

(Breastfeeding is very challenging for working mothers, and in this case formula can be a godsend. The same is true for the very small percentage of mothers who are unable to breastfeed their babies for natural reasons - but don't let Nestlé be one of those!)
