Now, for the real treat-a Black Friday/Cyber Monday The More You Know history moment:

Black Friday began in the 50s, when people shopped in stores. ALL THE TIME. Because, no Internet. So, retailers got to thinking, we should have some big sales on the day after Thanksgiving since most people aren't working. It worked so well that many stores' sales from these events tipped them into the black (meaning, they made a bunch of money and became profitable for the year). And so, Black Friday was born.

Cyber Monday is younger than 100% of people still reading this story - just 13 years old. Back in 2005 it wasn't second nature to shop for anything and everything online, so dotcom stores began running sales to encourage shoppers to ditch their brick-and-mortar game and buy online. But why Monday? Turns out recreational shopping pairs well with our morning coffee at the office. So, while Cyber Saturday' has alliteration going for it, Monday is when online shops reported the most transactions, earning the holiday its name

And that wraps up GoPro Black Friday 101. Have a happy holiday, and stay safe out there you savvy shoppers.
