Hollywood’s Changed, But Carmen Electra Hasn’t
It’s no secret that the 90s and 2000s are having a comeback. We’re rocking low-rise jeans again, emo music is coming back on the charts, and the women whose bodies and outfits we desperately wanted back then are back and better than ever (oh, and we still totally wanna be them).

This New McDonald's Burger May Not Get a National Rollout Any Time Soon
While many fast-food fans are following the chicken sandwich wars, others have been following the plant-based burger wars. White Castle was the first fast-food chain to offer such an option with the launch of its Impossible Sliders in April of 2018.

Then, Burger King arguably became a fan-favorite when it released its Impossible Whopper in August of 2019.
A THC-infused soda, a high-fashion tote bag, and other things I obsessed over this month
Howdy, friends! I hope you have had a fabulous 2022 so far. I’ve been leaning into healthy habits since January. Trying to cut out unhealthy, processed foods, getting outside more, doing yoga and meditation daily, and saying “no” to stuff that doesn’t serve me. This month’s obsessions are all about chilling out (EG: a THC-infused beverage), ditching preservatives (EG: natural body butters and whole food granola), and going green (EG: a high-fashion reusable lunch bag and a bright tote bag).

The One Menu Item a Taco Bell Manager Says You Should Avoid
Taco Bell has launched some questionable items in the past. From the recently released chicken sandwich "taco," which is essentially just a fried chicken sandwich folded on its side, to the much-criticized foray into chicken wings, it seems like the popular chain would be wise to stick to its Mexican roots.
McDonald's Is Being Sued In the Ongoing Soft Serve Controversy
McDonald's has been criticized for many things in recent years, but one complaint is simply just a fact: its soft serve machines are constantly out of commission. The finicky machines at McDonald's are such a cliché that a whole website has been dedicated to tracking their malfunction around the country (nearly 9% of U.S. machines are broken as of writing).
Avril Lavigne Is Still The Motherf*cking (Pop-Punk) Princess
For the last 20 years, Avril Lavigne has been an enigma that nobody could quite figure out. Was she an ingenious, 17-year-old, tomboy songwriter, or was she a “poser?” A fashion icon who made girls around the world rock neckties, or a bad influence who showed butt cleavage at the VMAs? A Guinness-world record-breaker who reached over 100 million views on YouTube for her “Girlfriend” music video, or a clone imposter named “Melissa?”
