Corn Puffs, but make it fashion

Marc Jacobs' newest model is a sculpture artist from Russia who is known for making weird shit, including garments out of food. This time, Maya Golyshkina made corn puffs editorial by posing in a corn puff hat and shirt while holding a Marc Jacobs purse. And honestly, Maya may have done the impossible by getting me to buy a Marc Jacobs bag.

Every cookie has a mission- and it's to make me fat

Girl Scouts is debuting a new cookie flavor in 2021 and that's just another reason why we can't wait for 2020 to be over with. Toast-Yay, "a French toast-inspired cookie dipped in delicious icing and full of flavor in every bite," will be the newest member to join the troop and welcomed with open mouths. TBD if it will knock Thin Mints out of first place in our rank.

'Salt Bae,' meet 'Cinnadust Hunk'

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is launching a seasoning blend and it seems like they just bottled what's left at the bottom of the cereal bags. The 'seasoning' (if it can even be called such a thing), dubbed Cinnadust, is a shaker filled with sugar and cinnamon so you can top your sugar with more sugar. CTC claims it's the most delicious on ice cream, toast, cookies, and coffee, but fail to mention you can sprinkle it on your cereal. It's coming soon exclusively to Sam's Club and thank god my parents have a membership.

Chicken wing, chicken wing, hot dog and bologna Frozen chicken wings in China tested positive for COVID-19 and I think this is just the vegetarians conspiring against meat-eaters. Although there have been recent reports of the virus popping up in imported foods, the CDC and WHO say the possibility of catching the virus through food is low. I'm obviously not that worried about it because I'm currently sitting in the KFC drive-thru.

Cloudy with a chance of Cocoa

A town in Switzerland was blessed with chocolate falling from the sky. The local chocolate factory experienced a ventilation issue, which resulted in crushed cocoa beans (cocoa nibs) swirling out of the building and traveling with the strong winds. The entire town became coated in cocoa dusting and this is like a dream come true! The closest I've gotten to experiencing bliss is when I would go outside in winter and pour maple syrup on the snow and then eat it. Oh, that's not a thing? Okay nvm I wasn't a freak as a kid.

Crying over onions, not boys

Thomson International, Inc., is recalling their red, yellow, white, and sweet yellow onions because of a possible salmonella risk. Which is a bummer because I was totally planning on making an onion casserole tonight. Here is the full list of products from Thomson International that may contain the recalled onions.

Pop(corn) Culture

Making us ~thirsty~

Dua Lipa is the newest face of Evian water which seems so like random. The 24-year-old singer announced her ambassadorship on Instagram and in a press release said, "I have always admired how Evian champions young creativity, which is so important to myself and future generations." We really don't understand this at all, but if Evian wants to pay me a bunch of money to pose with a fancy Evian bottle, I won't ask any questions.

Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolli lolli lolli

Food Network started production on a new competition show called Candy Land. The six-episode series will feature five groups of cake and sugar artists, will be hosted by Kristin Chenoweth, and will show the competitors making their way thru Candy Land to get to the King Kandy's Castle where they will win $25,000. This is also your monthly reminder to watch/rewatch The Donut Queen getting chopped first on Chopped Sweets.

And speaking of Candy Land, the popular (and affordable!) makeup brand Colour Pop just launched a Candy Land collection, which includes the Candy Castle eye shadow palette, Princess Lolly gloss, Gumdrop Pass blush, Queen Frostine highlighter, Peppermint Frost lip balm, and more! All they're missing is a Donut Queen sprinkle lipstick!

Fast Food Frenzy

Finger Lickin' Bad

Kentucky Fried Chicken is ditching their slogan, "It's Finger Lickin' Good," to keep up with the times. Due to coronavirus, the fast-food chain doesn't want to encourage people to lick their fingers and spread germs. Colonel Sanders himself decided to blur out the words "Finger" and "Lickin'" on chicken buckets and billboards, making the new slogan, "It's good." I guess a good sign of when life might get back to normal is when KFC brings the slogan back.

PLSeason

It's officially fall because Starbucks is selling their Pumpkin Spice Latte, and cue influencers on Instagram posting about it. The coffee conglomerate released the PSL earlier than ever this year probably in hopes of making people's 2020 a little bit better... but, and don't come at me high school white girls, I think the PSL is freaking gross; however, the new Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is actually pretty good. But I'm obviously in the minority of hating PSL because Starbucks just launched a ready-to-drink PSL at Target. Hey, at least they're not like Hobby Lobby already putting out Christmas decorations.
