A peek inside the Olympic Village, fast food outrage, nude beach etiquette: Catch up on the day’s stories

👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Summer is officially here, and parts of the US are baking under triple-digit temperatures. So what’s the best drink to help you cool down and stay hydrated: soda, juice or maybe a beer? The ideal choice is actually much simpler than any of those options.

Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day:

5 things

1️⃣ Olympic Village: Instead of rooming in tailor-made apartments, athletes at the Summer Games in Paris will live in what will become someone else’s home or workplace. Organizers say these will be the “most responsible and sustainable games in history.”

2️⃣ Fast food outrage: An $18 Big Mac combo meal in Connecticut that went viral sparked a revolt against high prices for eating out. And while most people pay far less than that for a burger, fries and soda, some companies are acknowledging that customers are fed up.

3️⃣ Perkins makeover: The aging chain, known for its pies and pancakes, has decided it’s time for a refresh. The changes include a revamped menu and redesigned restaurants in an effort to draw new diners.

4️⃣ Bathroom art: A museum in Australia moved some Picasso pieces to the ladies’ room after a male visitor who couldn’t enter the exhibit raised a stink and filed a discrimination complaint. They call it “Cubism in the cubicles.”

5️⃣ Nude beach etiquette: If you’re shedding all of your clothes on the sand this summer, there are a few rules to follow. Oh, and bring plenty of sunscreen. 📹 Watch: Nudist explains what not to do
