  • Van Hollen Denies Drinking Margaritas with Alleged MS-13, Illegal Migrant: Didn’t Touch ‘The Drinks’

    Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) denied drinking margaritas during his visit with an accused MS-13 gang member and illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador. During a press conference, Van Hollen spoke about his visit to El Salvador and his meeting with Abrego Garcia — who Democrats and the news media have described as a “Maryland father with protected status.” Van Hollen claimed that “Margarita-Gate” shows the “lengths” that El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele would go “to deceive people about what’s going on.”

    Daily Mail ^ | March 12 | By JOHN ELY DEPUTY HEALTH EDITOR FOR MAILONLINE
    The hidden dangers of a little-known additive in a popular children's drink have been revealed after experts issued an alarming health warning. Called glycerol, the super-sweet substance is a common ingredient in 'slushies' — bright, colourful ice cold drinks that are a mainstay at cinemas and corner shops. But medics have warned the beverages can trigger a potentially deadly condition called 'intoxication syndrome' in some children. Here, MailOnline details exactly why the sweetener is so dangerous for small bodies, and how it can trigger a lethal drop of blood sugar within minutes, with fatal consequences. Experts have warned that just...

    These beverages are being booted. Starbucks’ olive oil-infused drinks are being nixed just a year after being added to the menu as the company’s new CEO looks to streamline service. Oleato products will be permanently removed from the core menu starting Nov. 7, when the Starbucks’ holiday drinks launch, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg News. The memo said that Starbucks is “saying goodbye to Starbucks Oleato beverages and toffee nut syrup.” New CEO Brian Niccol, who took over the chain Sept. 9, noted that one of his priorities to accelerate growth at the company is to simplify the...

    The Hill ^ | 04/10/2024 | JULIA SHAPERO
    Inflation ticked higher once again in March, with consumer prices up 0.4 percent over the previous month and 3.5 percent compared to one year earlier. The latest data marks the third month in a row that the consumer price index (CPI), a closely watched gauge of inflation, has come in hotter than expected, likely throwing cold water on hopes that the Federal Reserve would begin cutting interest rates soon.

    Kool-Aid is a household name today. Nebraska named Kool-Aid as its official state drink in the late 1990s, while Hastings, Nebraska, the city where the powdered drink was invented, "celebrates a yearly summer festival called Kool-Aid Days on the second weekend in August, in honor of their city's claim to fame," notes Wikipedia. If you're an adult, you likely have memories of drinking the powdered beverage on hot, summer days as a child. But, the story of Kool-Aid's invention and rise to popularity is an interesting one—literally a rags-to-riches story.

    So, I very seldom drink coca cola (or even soda) anymore but my two brothers drink it alot. Anyway, they mentioned the other day that the coca cola is going flat a lot sooner than it used to. Well, I just cracked one open and drank half of it then let it sit for about 30 minutes before deciding to finish it off. Yep, absolutely flat. Never before has coca cola gotten flat this quick. I swear it seems like they've cut back on the carbonation. Anyone else that drinks coca cola notice this?

    According to this Bloomberg article, Michelle Obama is “a co-founder and strategic partner at Plezi Nutrition, a maker of sweetened beverages for kids ages 6 and up,” which I take to mean that she is profiting directly from the sale of these beverages. Her rationale:Obama says she’s offering a lower-sugar alternative to steer them away from sugary drinks. So, are they healthy for kids?Plezi’s first product is a flavored juice drink blend that, under the very standards Obama championed, could not be served in US schools. Bloomberg News interviewed 12 independent health professionals and organizations and spoke with Plezi Chairman...

    Brits are the most miserable in years as the headline inflation rate is at a four-decade high. Turbulent economic times pressure household finances, leading some to drown their miseries at the local pub. But even at the pub, it’s hard to escape today’s disastrous macroeconomic backdrop of soaring inflation and slowing economic growth, with threats of stagflation as the Bank of England hits the brakes on the economy with rate hikes. FT cites new data from food and drinks research company CGA that shows patrons of pubs are being hammered not by the drinks but by soaring costs for the...

    Coke Freestyle machines seem to have all of the soda flavors you could ever want. But not even the Coke Freestyle dispensers can bring back the discontinued sodas of yore. From the inventive (Coca-Cola combined with coffee, anyone?) to the truly strange (we're looking at you, bacon soda), the beverage industry has come up with some wild creations over the years. Here are a few soda flavors that have gone the way of the dinosaur. We can't say we miss them, but it's fun to reminisce about these vintage options.

    Droplets of orange juice can break lateral flow tests and show a positive result .. Viral videos on TikTok have encouraged children across the UK to try the trend.. Schools have warned parents to be 'vigilant' when their children are tested .. Pupils have been using fruit juice to get false positive Covid-19 test results as schools warn parents to be 'vigilant'. When droplets of orange juice or fizzy drinks like coca-cola are placed on a lateral flow test it can produce a positive result because the acidity of the drink destroys the antibody proteins in the test. And although...

    Whether you’re just looking for your morning coffee fix before work or a remote workplace with lots of ambiance, chances are you have far better options than Starbucks.Starbucks made headlines last week when the coffee chain threatened to take down its Facebook page over “negative” comments on its posts promoting Black Lives Matter, LGBT ideology, and other leftist causes. It’s an oddly thin-skinned move for a mega-corporation, although I wouldn’t mind seeing the woke giants of Facebook and Starbucks go head-to-head.Regardless, you shouldn’t care because you shouldn’t be buying Starbucks coffee anyway. Whether you’re just looking for your morning coffee...

    A hot day in a foreign country. You sit at a café. You order something to drink. You get 350 milliliters of liquid — roughly four thirsty sips, if you want to be technical — and if you’re still dry you need to order another 350 milliliters of whatever it was you were drinking, and they will keep track, and you will pay for each 350-milliliter installment.

    I don’t know who said it, but whoever came up with the idea that “whatever liberals don’t want to ban, they want to make mandatory,” is absolutely accurate. You name it, they’ve got a plan to force everyone to do it or to rid the world of it. Nothing is too small to escape their crosshairs, not even straws. Straws are a favorite target, the banning of which is all the rage in Democrat-controlled cities across the country. They pat themselves on the back so hard over this Jihad against straws that you’d think they were giving themselves the Heimlich...

It’s a smart-looking book, and I enjoyed it. So how’s the weather in Minnesota? Adam McDowell: It’s lovely, there are Canadian flags everywhere, people being very polite to each other. Kosar: Wait…. you’re a Canadian? In Canada? McDowell: Yes, born and raised in Toronto. Kosar: Why? McDowell: I’ve never had a doctor’s bill in my life. That’s explanation enough. Kosar: As a Canadian, I trust you consume barbarous quantities of drinks like Yukon Jack, Canadian Club,...
