All-You-Can-Eat Riblets, #Veganuary, Retro Kool-Aid [12/30/19 – 1/5/2020]
Happy New Year, everyone! If you celebrated the New Year by popping a bottle (or three) of champagne when the ball dropped, you're not alone; 25% of champagne sales happen on New Year's Eve. Also, have you ever wondered why we drink champagne on NYE in the first place? Imbibe Magazine did a great piece on why champagne remains our #1 drink of choice for ringing in the new year.
The holidays may be over but don’t put your buffet pants away just yet! Applebee's All-You-Can-Eat deal is back, and it's better than ever! For only $12.99, you can indulge in dishes like fried shrimp, riblets, and the newest addition to the lineup, boneless chicken wings! Each meal comes with unlimited fries and coleslaw, but no night out is complete without something to wash it all down – for just a dollar, you can add the January Drink of the Month. Now that's Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood (we had to)!
Have you seen the hashtag #veganuary and wondered what it's all about? Veganuary challenges you to give up meat, dairy, and other animal products for the entire month of January. Though you may not become a full vegan, the idea is that you will make more plant-based choices when filling your plate. Instyle Magazine lays out all you need to know about the benefits of Veganuary.
Yoplait has come out with a new yogurt called Just 3, and it tastes like you'd expect – like yogurt. It's called Just 3 because it contains only three ingredients; yogurt (made with active cultures and milk), berries, and cane sugar. Original Yoplait yogurt has over 13 ingredients, which includes things like modified corn starch, gelatin, and natural flavors. Just 3 contains the same amount of calcium, but fewer carbs, less sodium, and less sugar. Just 3 hit shelves in select areas this week and will be released everywhere soon.
