Sprite is going green but not being green |

When you think of Sprite, you think of their green bottles. But come August 1st, that will no longer be the case. That is because the bottles are going to be clear, like the soda.
The Coca-Cola Company is making the change because it is easier to recycle the clear bottles than the colored ones.
“Taking colors out of bottles improves the quality of the recycled material,” said Julian Ochoa, CEO, R3CYCLE, which is working with Coca-Cola Consolidated to enable bottle-to-bottle recycling across the largest U.S. bottler’s 14 state-territory. “This transition will help increase availability of food-grade rPET. When recycled, clear PET Sprite bottles can be remade into bottles, helping drive a circular economy for plastic.”
I understand why they are doing it, but can someone leave something from childhood as it was? I mean, not only are they changing the color of the bottle, but they also changed up the logo.
Sprite is not the only one losing the green bottles; so are Coca-Cola’s Fresca, Seagram’s, and Mello Yello.

|  (Photo: Business Wire) Velveeta cheese teamed up with BLT Restaurants to create the Velveeta Veltini that is available during their golden hours of 5-8p.
“As we look to summer, one of life’s greatest pleasures is enjoying summer sips during golden hour,” said Kelsey Rice, Senior Brand Communications Manager for VELVEETA. “We wanted to find a way to elevate this experience for our fans even further, by bringing the rich, creamy goodness of VELVEETA to a martini in a unique and unexpected way for the ultimate outrageous pleasure.”
What is in this ultimate outrageous pleasurable drink? The cocktail consists of VELVEETA infused vodka, olive brine, and vermouth, garnished with a cheese drip and a cocktail pick of VELVEETA stuffed olives and Jumbo VELVEETA Shells & Cheese for the finishing touches. And it sells for %15.
Can’t make it to a BLT Restaurant and want to try it, then you can order the kit to make two cocktails for $50.
Am I the only person who wants to try the salty drink?

I scream! You scream! We all scream for Krispy Kreme’s ice cream flavored donuts! |

Have you ever wished there were donuts that tasted like the treats we get from the ice cream truck? Well, your dream has come true because Krispy Kreme has three donuts inspired by three of the most popular ice cream bars from the truck.
Popsicle® Firecracker™ Inspired Doughnut: An Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in Popsicle® Firecracker™ flavored icing and blue raspberry sugar, then topped with dollops of Popsicle® Firecracker™ flavored Kreme™ and original Kreme.
Vanilla King Cone Inspired Doughnut: A doughnut filled with vanilla custard Kreme™, dipped in chocolate icing, and topped with a blend of sugar cone pieces and chopped peanuts with a drizzle of chocolate icing.
Creamsicle® Inspired Doughnut: A doughnut filled with vanilla custard Kreme™, dipped in Creamsicle® flavored icing and topped with a drizzle of icing and mini sprinkles.
I don’t know which one to try first because they all sound so delicious. So today, when I go to Krispy Kreme to buy them all, I am going to play the Good Humor music as I wait in the drive-thru line to get myself my treat. It will be just like when I was a kid, and I heard that tune coming my way!
The donuts are available from today until August 7th. So, don’t wait too long to try one, or they will be gone like the ice cream man when he runs out of ice cream.

Have you ever watched Hot Ones and wished you could try one of their hot sauces? Well, you can do that via Pringles. That is because they put a dab of First We Feast’s spicy goodness on their yummy potato chips.
The three flavors are The Classic, Los Calientes Verde, and Los Calientes Rojo, and they are available only at Walmart for a limited time to enjoy.
So call your friends over and see who can go the longest without crying. And make your stocked up on toilet paper.

Ed Sheeran just got all hot and bothered over this cool treat that is going to be available only in Canada for a limited time. What is it? French’s teamed up with Happy Pops to make popsicles with their ketchup.
Do you love the tomato condiment enough to try it and don’t live in Canada? While it is not for me, French’s shared a recipe for the sweet ice-cold treat. If you wind up making it, let me know how it is. Maybe I will try it too?
