If you had to infer consumer preferences from the actions of companies in a given marketplace, you might conclude that nobody wants to drink beer anymore. Every day brings fresh news of some late-acting brewery pivoting from alcoholic beverages with hops and malt to something lighter and more refreshing. The latest such example is LIIT, […]
Back in the day before “nutrition” was a thing, the milkshake was a quintessential component of the American fast food experience. While the milkshake hasn’t exactly disappeared from America’s fast food menus, it functions more as a decadent dessert than something that you’d naturally opt for to wash down your burger and fries. But what […]
With the pandemic’s widespread disruption of food supply chains meant the market for what they harvest dried up overnight, 2020 has been a rough year for America’s farmers for reasons beyond their control. While the government has stepped in to buy up some surplus crops to help, that won’t solve the problems plaguing a line […]
There’s something iconic about Jack Daniels. Maybe it’s because of its frequent appearances backstage at massive concert venues, where it’s fueled much of the debauchery that gives rock and roll it’s reputation. While 2020 has blessed us all with plenty of valid reasons (including concert cancellations) to take long, deep swigs from a fifth of […]
Remember back when the internet seemed torn about whether or not a hot dog was a sandwich? That debate raged forever, inspiring hot takes, strong opinions, and more than a few re-evaluations of the nature of a sandwich. While it’s unlikely that nearly as many people care to discuss the philosophical nature of the Uncrustable, […]
These days, most of us non-essential folks (or at least those not responsible for home-schooling children) have had more time to make a nice breakfast than ever. But if you go by how much breakfast we’re ordering via Grubhub, it would seem that we’re not exactly following through on that. Baking aside, it seems like […]
If there’s any theme to the shift in our collective eating habits over the past month or so, it’s a fascination with the creation and ingestion of various carbohydrates. Purchases of snacks like potato chips were among the most popular panic buys, and Americans are baking so much that there’s now a full-on yeast shortage. […]
“When pizza’s on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime.” That line from the Bagel Bites jingle is instantly familiar to any ‘90s kid, and has justified many questionable eating habits. Now, an even bigger question looms for Bagel Bites: Does the same hold true for hot dogs? That’s the apparent premise behind Bagel Bites’ […]
I love White Claws, and I have zero shame about it. They’re seltzer-based, so they’re fruity without being cloying and healthier than most mixed drinks (they’re low in calories, have just 2 grams of carbs per can and are gluten-free). Plus, the skinny cans are portable, so they’re perfect for bringing to the beach, pool, tailgates and […]
We’re more than two months removed from the start of 2020 (a stressful year for sure), which means it’s totally fair to bail on your New Year’s resolution while feeling like you still made some progress. If for some reason you’re still trying to avoid indulgent, delicious treats, you’re definitely going to want to schedule […]
