The Weekly Donut 7/18
Cookie-Jarring is the newest relationship trend, and it's not so sweet: "Cookie-Jarring happens when an individual pursues a relationship to have as a back-up plan or security blanket with no real intention of a long-term relationship." Looking at you Jed...

To that friend who always says they're "starving"
This week, United Nations came out with a report stating that the number of unnourished people in the world has continued to rise the past three years. More than 820 million people do not have enough food to eat and are suffering from hunger. So, no Becky, you're not like literally starving.
Wine and dine me
Uber Eats wants to take you out on a date. Your favorite food delivery app that doesn't judge you when you order a burrito from down the street, is expanding their services. Uber Eats is testing out a dine-in option that will allow users to order their food ahead of time to eat in the restaurant. As a waitress, I would like to thank Uber Eats for limiting my interactions with impatient customers (you know who you are!).
I thought police liked donuts?
Texas police guard ice-cream aisle after an ice cream licker (but I hardly know her!) is on the loose. A girl in Texas went to a Walmart to lick a tub of Blue Bell Tin Roof ice cream and put it back on the shelf to go viral and start the #TinRoofChallenge. Must have been a slow day for the cops, but at least they weren't out over-policing under-privileged communities. *licks ice cream*
When life gives you LuLuLemons...
LuLuLemon, the brand behind your yoga pants (even though you've never done yoga before), opens their largest store ever in Chicago. The new 20,000-square-foot location includes: exclusive merchandise, workout studios, meditation space, and their very own restaurant named "Fuel." Fuel will offer a variety of smoothies, açaí bowls, burgers, beer, and cocktails. How come I have a feeling this is going to be the new wine Wednesday spot for middle-aged white moms?
When your AriZona Iced Tea can is drippin'...
AriZona Iced Tea and Adidas team up for an unusual collab. Today and tomorrow, New Yorkers can visit a pop-up shop and buy AriZona Iced Tea inspired sneakers for as much as the beverage itself; yes, you can get the sneakers for $0.99! The thirst is real for these shoes.
Salt Bae>Bagel Boss Guy
A short man in a bagel shop goes off on other customers about how women deny him because of his height, and you can't make this $h!+ up! Check out the video, because honestly, we're just as confused as you are.

Lookin' like a snack
Jason Momoa is being body shamed, and no one is safe in this world. Momoa, best known for his role as Aquaman, was pictured shirtless on vacay and the internet was quick to judge his "dad bod." In 2018, we saw Momoa's abs on the big screen, as he was on a strict diet and exercise regimen to be Aquaman. Now, anything less than 12 abs, he's considered fat... So what am I?
Feed your skin
Kylie Jenner goes on a tropical trip of a lifetime for KylieSkin, and she brings her best friends with. Not only does Kylie pull out all of the stops (think: pink branded private jet) and pampers her friends (think: unlimited skin care products), she also supplies endless instagramable food for them. There were PJ (aka Private Jet for all of you commoners out there) donuts, KylieSkin M&Ms, cute coconuts, and every flavor of frozen drinks you could think of. Sucks to be Jordyn Woods rn...
