We go together like cheese and wine

The US is hitting the EU with tariffs on some of our favorite things: coffee, scotch, whiskey, wine, olives, cheese, butter, olive oil, and doesn't Trump know not to mess with basic white girls' coffee, wine, and charcuterie boards??! This 25% tax increase on European products will likely make grocery store prices go up and put financial strain on some small businesses.

Grab a Beer* With Elizabeth Warren

Senator Elizabeth Warren is flying one lucky winner and a guest to meet her for a drink. You have until November 1st to enter to win round-trip tickets, two nights hotel stay, and an opportunity to sit down and have a drink with Senator Warren. This makes us love her even more knowing her alcoholic beverage of choice is beer. We have a feeling she drinks IPAs...

TBT to when we used to tell yo Momma so fat jokes in middle school

A new study by the World Obesity Federation reports that an estimated 250 million kids worldwide will be obese by 2030, and I'm glad I'm not considered a kid anymore. The obesity rate continues to rise in children ages 5-19 and we have nothing to joke about here.

Pop(corn) Culture

I vant to suck your bourbon

Co-stars of The Vampire Diaries, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley (aka Damon and Stefan Salvatore), announce they are launching their own bourbon in honor of their characters. The actors are asking for input from their fans, and we just hope they're not using blood to make the bourbon... Somerhalder and Wesley don't have a release date yet, but they plan to travel the world to launch their brand. Cheers, Count Drunkula.

Come on Barbie, let's go get coffee

Chriselle Lim , an influencer with over 1M followers, teams up with Mattel, to style her own Barbies and we can deff relate a little bit to one of them. The Barbie Styled by Chriselle Lim Doll 2 features a put-together (can't relate), chic (can't relate), trendy (can't relate) doll headed to work that is probably late because she grabbed a coffee on the way (can relate). Lim, who is Korean-American, wanted to focus on the diversity of the dolls and showcase a modern working woman who sometimes needs multiple coffees to get her through the day.

It's my mouth I can eat what I want to

Miley Cyrus releases a statement on social media about her breakup with Liam Hemsworth and her current relationship with Cody Simpson *cough downgrade cough* Cyrus tweets, "... can't I just have a kiss and açaí bowl?!?!" in reference to the paparazzi capturing the new couple at Backyard Bowls, an açaí cafe in LA, making out. It's also notable to mention that once, Simpson put on his insta story a pic of him kissing Cyrus with the caption, "pre swim breakfast courtesy of baby," and idk but that made me barf.

Fast Food Frenzy

Don't let anyone treat you like you're a yellow Starburst

There's a new all pink strawberry Starburst drink mix that was found at Walmart and I just barfed again. You can also order the pink powdered packets online and we really don't know why this exists. The mix claims to have zero sugar, which is honestly confusing us even more.

Goin' to the drive-thru, whoa whoa whoa

A new study reveals the drive-thru times of fast-food restaurants. Coming in at the fastest drive-thru is... Dunkin' (still salty they dropped 'Donuts' from their name) with an average of 216 seconds (that's about 3.5 mins., you're welcome.). Chick-fil-a came in last with an average wait time of 322 seconds (just under 5.5 mins.). Did they really have to put Chick-fil-a on blast like that?? It takes extra time to say, "my pleasure."

When you hate yourself so you decide to go to Applebee's

This month, Applebee's $1 drink is the Vampire Cocktail. The rum, dragon fruit, passion fruit, and strawberry concoction is a ~spooky~ purple color garnished with a set of Vampire fangs. Sounds like this drink might actually kill us.

The nation of Freshtovia has been the lone beacon of hope in the land of Beef's Keep for decades

Wendy's, we need to clarify we're talking about the fast food chain, releases a tabletop role-playing game that resembles Dungeons & Dragons. Feast of Legends: Rise from the Deep Freeze, is Wendy's newest marketing campaign and you can download the game here. Howbout you stick to what you know Wendy's... burger meat in the shape of a square. Oh- and apparently KFC came out with a Sims-like dating simulator, I Love You, Colonel Sanders!, a few weeks ago and we don't know how we missed that news... we are so sorry.
