Well, here’s a new one (to me, at least): The Guardian reports today on “monophagy,” a condition in which a person eats only one food. Similar to Andrew Hawryluk, who apparently ate the same meal at Chipotle in Los Angeles for 186 consecutive days. Or Mike Roman, from Hackensack, New Jersey, who says he has eaten a…
I know a popular online credo is “Don’t read the comments,” but I can’t help it: I always read the comments. Especially Takeout comments, because you guys will frequently throw in something I haven’t thought of, or offer me one of your own options or recipes (for example, I’m looking forward to trying out Allan…
An Athens, Alabama grocery store stated on Facebook that it will no longer sell Pepsi products that carry the NFL logo; Pepsi is a longtime sponsor of the NFL and uses the league’s logo on a number of bottles. But S&Z Grocery made a statement on its Facebook page yesterday that the store will stop carrying the…
We’re all on board with dipping French fries in a Wendy’s Frosty—the combo of salty and sweet totally makes sense in this context. But woe to tennis spectator Alexa Greenfield, caught on camera this week dipping her chicken finger into a Coke while watching a U.S. Open match. She was immediately the subject of public…
Welcome to Old Folks Food Week, where we resurrect and celebrate the delicious dishes of yore.
Children of the ’90s, say it with me: SUUUUUUUUUUUUURGE. Surge, for those who haven’t had the pleasure, was a “citrus-flavored” soda from the Coca-Cola company (essentially it was the love child of Mountain Dew and Adderall.) Its brief life span lasted only from 1996 to 2003, with a reemergence on Amazon and at some…
File this one under—and forgive the profanity, but it’s warranted—“what the actual fuck.”
When cities and states first began to debate the merits of taxes on sodas, plastic bags, and even plastic straws, there was more than a small dose of skepticism that the markups would actually change consumer behavior. Especially when it came to soda, some doubted that people would give up their Dr Pepper habit even…
The growth of the legal cannabis industry is so explosive that even noted tastemaker John Boehner is getting in on the action. Given that, perhaps this piece of news from Comstock’s should come as no surprise: 12 years from now, the legal pot business will surpass the legal sugar-water business. That is, assuming…
We all need hobbies and projects, right? Mine could be cleaning out my email inbox, a task that could take me through to the end of days. I’d probably be better off with something more fun, like Marshall University professor Jason Morrissette. Vice’s Waypoint describes that Morrissette was playing Batman: Arkham…
What with the prevalence of coffee pods, we suppose it was just a matter of time before flavor packs branched out into other types of beverages as well. BevNet announces that PepsiCo’s new “customizable pod-based beverage format Drinkfinity is now available stateside” after a trial run in Brazil.
Maybe Slice was just ahead of its time. The soft drink made with 10 percent juice—just try getting that “we got the juice” jingle out of your head—never quite caught on in the ’80s and ’90s, and it eventually joined 7Up Gold and OK Soda in the defunct soft-drinks heap.
