Get ready to indulge in all things food news...

Is it weird that I still have calcium deposits? Asking for a friend.

Dean Foods, the largest diary company in the US, files for bankruptcy. In recent years, the 94-year-old company has been struggling because people are drinking less cows milk. Personally, I blame the hipsters who enjoy oat milk lattes. As of now, Dean Foods is looking to sell the company. Looks like Santa might have to settle for almond milk and cookies this year.

Alexa, make me dinner

Amazon and Google both announce new product features to help with hands-free cooking. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean a robot cooks for you. Instead, you can listen to voice guided recipes with Alexa and Google Assistant. This week, Amazon partnered with BuzzFeed's Tasty to tell us how to make unicorn poop cake pops. Meanwhile, Google teamed up with Ayesha Curry to showcase her own recipes. We're just waiting until Chrissy Teigen can talk us through her recipe book.

Pour one out

for Epstein's victims. Tactical OPS Brewing, a brewery based in CA, prints "EPSTEIN DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF" on the bottom of some beer cans. And a Michigan brewery, Rusted Spoke Brewing Co., names its new beer "Epstein Didn't Kill Himself IPA." Cheers to memes coming to life.

Pop(corn) Culture

Kiwi walked so Watermelon Sugar could run

Harry Styles hosted and performed on Saturday Night Live last week and

was lookin' like a snack . He took the stage to debut his new single, "Watermelon Sugar" and starred in a hilarious sketch involving Sara Lee Bread . In the sketch, Styles plays a gay social media manager who mistakes Sara Lee's account for his own and ends up commenting some raunchy things on the brand's behalf. Since the sketch aired, Sara Lee Bread's real Insta has been flooded with "wreck me daddy " comments. It got so bad that the company had to issue a statement saying, "We didn't participate in creating the skit and it's content doesn't align with Sara Lee's brand. But, we all know SNL pushes the envelope for laughs and we are taking it in stride." Fist of all, it's a sketch not a skit. Second, get the stick out of your a$$ Sara Lee.

Food is King

Kanye West hosts a $55 Sunday Service brunch, and people are comparing it to Fyre Festival. Brunchella, a charity brunch hosted by Kanye West before his Sunday Service concert, left a bad taste in fans' mouths. The catering company responsible for the sad pancakes, Lauryn's Fine Catering, apologized and blamed Kanye's team for the debacle. All I'm concerned about is that the guy who calls himself the greatest artist that God has ever created couldn't think of a better name than "Brunchella"...

Fast Food Frenzy

Consciously Un-Cup-Ling

The place where I get my daily donuts (no donut is a bad donut) and coffee from is ditching their foam cups. Dunkin' (still salty they dropped 'Donuts' from their name) is phasing out their infamous foam cups Epstein didn't kill himself and plan to have them extinct by April 2020. The planet runs on Dunkin'. #DoubleCupBreakup

Happy Holi-glaze!

Speaking of Dunkin' (still salty they dropped 'Donuts' from there name)... they've launched an online pop-up shop for the holidays. On Dunkin'Shop, you can find accessories and apparel inspired by the fast-food chain. From a logo wrapped electric guitar to hair scrunchies, you can shop for everyone in your family. Grammie, I know you're reading this, for Christmas I would like the fanny pack and joggers.
