Shitpotle or get off the pot!
Last week, we were praising Chipotle for being one of the first chain-restaurants to introduced vegan options. This week, things got a little messy for them...again. According to New York Daily News, "Chipotle Mexican Grill has revealed it received a subpoena related to an outbreak that sickened 647 customers last year in Ohio." Because of this news and the continuing investigation, Chipotle's stock fell 6%. Sounds like Chipotle doesn't want anyone to taco 'bout it.
We're the three best friends that...
Were enemies but then teamed up together. Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, and Pepsi have aligned to help families cut sugar. Historically, these companies have been known for highly caffeinated, sugary drinks that take years off your life, but now they're switching things up a bit. Check out how they plan to reduce sugar in American's diets to help them live a healthier lifestyle. Sounds like a lie to me, but hey I'm just gonna mind my own business. *takes a sip of DIET Coke*
New flavors, who dis?
Alcohol edition:
Welcome back, 100-Calorie Vodka Ice Pops! Oh how we've missed you. Last Summer, Costco introduced these adult icy pops and millennials went wild. Keep an eye out for when they hit the shelves again.
When life gives you lemons, make Bud Lite Lemon Tea. Anheuser-Busch is hoping this new product will attract a lot of frat boys to help increase their overall low sales of the year.
Rosé all day all the way over to the keg. Yes, you can now get Rosé Kegs and have the most ~lit~ bbq of the summer! *cue screaming sorority girls* Get the wine keg (weg?) delivered right to your door. Not feeling Rosé today? You can also get wegs of chardonnay, white merlot, sauvignon blanc, or red blend. Who wants to hold my legs for the keg stand??
Sooo Summer, wya?
Don't starve in space like Tony Stark...
Grab your popcorn! A lot of it because Avengers: Endgame is 3-hours long! Maybe just get a small soda though, because according to Rotten Tomatoes, you won't want to take any bathroom breaks.
Didn't score tickets but still want to be a part of the hype? Drink a craft beer like Thor, order a Happy Meal just for the toy, and eat these super delicious donuts to join in on the action.
