The new Pop-up Microlite is a nickel-sized LED light -- designed to illuminate both the buttons and text on a remote in the dark or dim lighting -- that sticks to nearly any remote control using 3M adhesive backing.

The Pop-up Microlite comes in a high-tech glossy black and is available at retail stores for a suggested retail price of $9.99.

NEW YORK Retail sales of chocolate products increased 3% from 2008 to a record $17 billion in 2009, according to a report by market research publisher Packaged Facts titled "Chocolate Market in the U.S.: Trends and Opportunities in Premium, Gourmet and Mass Chocolate Products."

The growth was attributed to the 75% of Americans who have purchased chocolate products since 2008 and the increases in manufacturer prices.
