Costco’s Whole Lambs Are Turning Heads Bloomberg/Getty Images By Erica Buehler/Aug. 13, 2021 8:51 pm EST Okay, we’ve got to admit that we’re a little obsessed with the Costco subreddit, r/Costco. We love it partially because of the interesting finds posted by invested users, and partially because it gives us our daily dose of “WTF?” if we’re lacking in that department. Really, we just love Costco in general, but this is a great way to gather intel on what exactly this grocery store giant has been up to these days, and specifically what kind of products it’s selling....

A bread that could pair as well with a cup of morning coffee and fresh fruit as it does with a can of seltzer and some nuts as an afternoon snack? Or perhaps it would play well with a glass of sweet wine, a good stout, or a mug of tea for an after-dinner treat?...

Healthy-Ish Dips To Take To Summer Parties Shutterstock By Krista Corrao/Updated: March 29, 2021 11:41 pm EST Julia Child was once quoted as saying, “A party without cake is just a meeting.” She’s absolutely correct (obviously), and I like to think she would agree that a party without dip would be equally as boring. Dips, spreads, and appetizers, are just as important (and appreciated) at a party as the main course....

How To Tell If Your Egg Salad Has Gone Bad Shutterstock By Brittany Gibson/Feb. 9, 2021 10:02 am EST If you’ve ever cooked an egg, you know how easy it is to prepare one — whether it’s hardboiled, scrambled, over hard, or via some other method of cooking, eggs are a convenient and healthy way to pack in some protein. The downside to that is eggs don’t have much of a grace period when it comes to freshness — and if they’re eaten after they’ve gone rancid, that might not end well....

The Biggest Flops In McDonald’s History Hulton Archive/Getty Images By Michael Sommers/Updated: June 17, 2021 11:21 am EST In the era of start-ups, “failure breeds success” has become somewhat of a cliché mantra. And yet, if you also buy into the well-worn saying that there’s a grain of truth in every cliché, then McDonald’s must owe at least some of its supersized success to its epic failures. Because for every Big Mac and Filet-O-Fish, there have also been the more head-scratching and even humiliating likes of the Hula Burger and the McLean Deluxe (known in insider circles as the “McFlopper”)....

The Sam’s Club Logo Used To Look A Lot Different Scott Olson/Getty Images By Amy Hamblen/Feb. 2, 2021 4:55 am EST Though you might be hard-pressed to imagine a time before the bulk-buying convenience of Sam’s Club was available, the brand has only been around since 1983. The company debuted, according to Money Inc., with a straightforward, black and white logo that doesn’t much resemble today’s version. The word “SAM’S” was written in all-caps, big, block letters, next to “WHOLESALE CLUB,” which was typset in half the font size and split over two lines....
