Smoothie King dropped two holiday drinks and slapped a discount on their largest size for shoppers hunting deals. The chain launched Holiday Pecan Delight with butter pecan ice cream mixed with almond butter and protein, plus Apple Cinnamon Cheer that uses oat milk and plant protein. Both packs over ten grams of protein for people rushing between stores.
The company ran a promo where customers got upgraded from medium to large pricing without entering codes. Loyalty members stacked triple points during the same window. The seasonal flavors stick around through winter, while the size deal lasted just one shopping day.
The dating app for Black singles just released survey data showing younger users are ditching performative dating for actual compatibility checks. BLK polled over four thousand people and found that Gen Z daters are screening matches way earlier based on religion, politics, money views, and family goals before wasting time.
About half bring up dealbreakers within the first conversations, while most discuss them during early dates. Church meetups and creative spaces are becoming popular spots to find partners since mutual friends can verify someone's character. More than half the users want partners who actively practice their faith as proof of discipline. Political alignment and civic engagement also matter when deciding whether to...
Someone just copped a plea deal after helping burn down a bar that sat near the original Turkey Leg Hut location back when things got messy between business partners. Miziah Shepherd admitted he poured gas and lit up Bar 5015 with three other people because the restaurant owner, Lynn Price, allegedly wanted revenge on his former partner, Steve Rogers.
Price is still locked up waiting for trial while facing extra charges about guns and drugs. One weapon supposedly got modified to shoot fire like some kind of DIY flamethrower. Shepherd dropped his other charges by taking the deal but could still catch up to two decades behind bars plus a massive fine. He gets parole eligibility after three years, while Price heads to trial next year.
Kevin Hart basically dodged the entire gay son versus promiscuous daughter question when Ziwe tried to pin him down during her web show. The comedian flipped it back and said he just wants healthy kids and that asking the question reveals more about the person bringing it up than whoever tries to answer.
Ziwe also pressed him about picking a favorite letter from the LGBTQIA acronym and whether he would take a gay role or issue another apology for old homophobic material. Hart pushed back again and argued that being accountable does not mean repeating apologies forever. He claimed he has already owned his mistakes and moved forward from that chapter.
Blueface hopped on Instagram to announce he cut ties with Hazel-E after three weeks of whatever they had going on. The rapper complained about her caring more about fan opinions than backing him up and said her actual age did not match how she acted around him.
Hazel-E clapped back during her live stream by pointing out his recently convicted felon status and claiming she dated down by getting with him. The former reality star said he wired her five grand recently while begging her to stick around despite his behavior. She also roasted him for getting cozy with someone she called trailer park trash while they were still linked up. Neither one seems interested in patching things up after airing out their beef online.
Sukihana went on a podcast and told Saweetie to stop running from allegations about her past work and just be honest if the rumors are legit. The reality star argued that being upfront would probably help Saweetie connect better with fans instead of hurting her career, while speculation keeps blowing up online.
The comments landed after a promoter called Maybach May accused Saweetie of owing money and suggested her connection to soccer player Jadon Sancho was tied to business arrangements. The promoter even labeled Sancho as a client and hinted at acting like a coordinator for these arrangements.
Saweetie fired back on social media, calling the accusations lies and saying lawyers would get involved. Sukihana made it clear she thinks...
The strongman competition yanked the title from someone after finding out they were assigned male at birth. Jammie Booker grabbed first place at the World Championship event in Arlington but got booted when organizers said the win broke their eligibility rules about competing based on biological sex. Officials admitted they messed up during the screening process and tried reaching out, but got no response.
Andrea Thompson from the UK moved up from second to claim the championship belt. Thompson already won the whole thing back in 2018. The games went down in Texas and required every competitor to enter based on their birth sex category. Booker stayed quiet after getting disqualified and has not posted anything publicly about losing the...
Walgreens just yanked over 41k bottles of nasal spray off shelves because they might have bacteria chilling in them. The FDA flagged two batches of the store brand saline spray that could be contaminated with Pseudomonas lactis, which is basically the same bug that ruins milk.
The recall hits lot 61409 and lot 71861 that were shipped everywhere across the country. People with weak immune systems need to be extra careful since bacterial contamination in stuff you spray directly into your face can mess you up. Anyone who grabbed a bottle should bail on using it and haul it back to Walgreens for their money back.
The feds just brought back nearly a thousand workers after booting them during the shutdown mess. Health department brass told a judge out in California that all 954 people getting axed can come back and will get paid for the weeks they missed.
The whole thing was basically the Trump crew trying to gut CDC staff and use it as leverage against Democrats. Government worker unions sued and a district judge shut the whole operation down before it could stick. The employees are heading back but some are nervous about another round of cuts when funding expires next year.
