Seagulls really do want

your BEACH BITES.

In a recent study, the birds were

more likely to peck at food if they

Spam fans are

getting a new

cookbook.

America went crazy

for Spam when it hit

shelves in 1937, and

our obsession hasn’t

let up: Sales hit a

record high last year,

and Spam made headlines

recently as families stockpiled it

for the coronavirus quarantine.

Now Hormel Foods is releasing

The Ultimate Spam Cookbook,

with recipes for shakshuka, fried rice

and more. The mystery meat hasn’t

changed much, but the way we

serve it has: Take a look at the

cans through the years.

America is hooked on tonics.

If coffee lovers have learned anything during their extensive

time at home, it’s how to make a café-quality drink on their

own. Whipped coffee had a viral moment in March, and we’re

predicting the next home coffee movement will be a trend

born in the competitive barista world: coffee with tonic water.

C&Ts have recently landed on coffee shop menus across the

country, including Starbucks Reserve Roasteries. And they’re

easy to make at home. Fill a glass halfway with ice and

tonic water; top with chilled coffee, espresso or cold brew.
