After a four-year hiatus, out of an abundance of caution for the safety of their fans and loyal customers, Ben and Jerry’s is bringing back free cone day.
Imagine finding out you have a really rich aunt who lives in a beautiful historic home in France. Well, that’s what staying at the Château de Beauvais would feel like exactly.

Ranch is an all-time favorite; whether for salad or for dipping pizza, most Americans have a love for Hidden Valley’s ranch dressing. What many people did not see coming was ranch-flavored ice cream!
I have been a devout vegetarian for a year and a half now, and I can confidently say that as long as my diet is my choice, I will never go back to eating meat. There are far too many benefits to not eating meat that far outweighs any perceived negative consequences. For starters, it’s the more ethical choice (when compared to the majority’s omnivorous diet). On behalf of both animals that needn’t be ranched for the sake of being slaughtered and eaten and for the environment, which- as a whole- could stand to bear a few more vegetarian converts in order to reduce the number of greenhouse gasses occupying our current atmosphere. Not to mention the wide variety of flavors and cuisines that going vegetarian opens up for people. As it turns out, in eliminating one food source, I consequently gained a whole cookbook’s worth of bold flavors and creative dishes. Since becoming vegetarian, I have felt more like the person I want to be, and I am grateful for the choice I make every day.

Ka’chava is sold as a meal supplement that replaces and replenishes the many vitamins and minerals that are lost in the low-quality Standard American Diet, and in a video on his ‘About Us’ page, he makes it clear that he is not just after another metric to lower your body fat or tone muscle.

Rejoice, KFC fans: the fan-favorite Double Down sandwich is officially coming back for a limited time in March.

In modern America, it seems like everyone is making the shift to online shopping instead of buying from local retailers and businesses. Amazon is a great example of this since it is the most heavily promoted business in the shopping industry. Most influencers even have their own Amazon Storefronts, where they can recommend products to their followers and profit off of them buying these recommendations.
Inflation is steadily rising by 0.5% each month, and Americans everywhere are feeling the pressure in one way or another. A senior citizen in the Boston area told FOX Business, “I just officially gave up eggs.” Apparently, a dozen eggs cost over $5 at her local grocery store. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that inflation is up nearly 6.5% from last year – and this is very apparent in the prices of food.
If you were watching the Super Bowl, you probably saw the McDonald’s commercial that featured Offset and Cardi B showing their love for their new meal at McDonald’s. There were seven other couples featured in this 30-second ad, with the rappers sitting inside the golden arch holding hands and discussing each other’s go-to orders.
As many as 75% of Americans don’t meet the USDA’s recommended daily magnesium intake of 420mg. This is a problem, as magnesium, once thought to be involved in 300 of the body’s biochemical processes, is actually involved in over 600 magnesium-dependent enzymatic processes–that’s a big chunk of the body’s cellular reactions. Magnesium is an essential nutrient and electrolyte, yet we just aren’t getting enough. That’s where magnesium-rich foods and supplements come in.
