Starbucks Holiday Reusable Cups 2022

As the holidays become near, the anticipation around Starbucks’ red cup and when the new collection will release grows three sizes similarly to the Grinch’s heart.  I don’t have to tell you that the collection of their reusable cups is free every year with a purchase of one holiday drink.

Starbuck's has kept ( as usual ) the design a mystery . 

Thanks to one TikToker who showed a sneak peak of the red cups, we now know what this year’s design will look like and it can be safely said, that these cups look just as festive as what we had hoped!

So lets go and get a cup !!!!!

A musical reimagining of the beloved comedy classic film, Snow Day follows a group of kids who are determined to achieve their dreams when their school closes for a snow day. Siblings Hal (Ky Baldwin, Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door) and Natalie Brandston (Michaela Russell, WandaVision) discover that anything is possible on a snow day when a surprise winter whiteout offers them the chance to break routines and take giant risks. Inspired to pursue his crush, Claire (Shelby Simmons, Bunk'd), Hal enlists the help of his best friend, Lane (Fabi Aguirre, Les Misérables on Broadway), to help him express his feelings, and Natalie decides she must challenge the town's cranky snowplow man if she wants to pull off the task of creating a second snow day. Jerry Trainor (iCarly) assumes the iconic role of the Snowplowman

The original Snow Day, from Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures, premiered in theaters in 2000. It was a box office success and immediately became an instant favorite for kids everywhere, who also dreamed of having a snow day of their own. It starred Chris Elliott, Mark Webber, Jean Smart, Chevy Chase, Josh Peck and Emmanuelle Chriqui, among others.

Lexi, a film shot over the pandemic, has been recognized as a perfect blend of horror and thriller that keeps its audience glued to see what happens next. The Blame the Dog Productions film starring Victoria Vertuga (Dexter), Thomas Hobson (That Girl Lay Lay, Ghosts of the Ozarks), and Susan Louise O'Connor (Euphoria, Orange is the New Black) is a story of a 29-year-old motivational influencer 'Laughing Lexi' who goes missing from her new home.

Many viewers have described the movie as captivating, intriguing, thrilling, and edgy – a highly recommended watch. Victoria Vertuga breathes life into the lead character as she journeys into this independent feature film. Victoria is also the director and the writer of the film.

"It was such a unique process to bring this film to life, both the writing and shooting of it. It's very special to me because it allowed me to still create and do what I love during a really challenging time for all of us. I'm so excited it's finally out there for everyone to see," said Victoria.

The movie is available for viewers on Amazon Prime and Tubi. Lexi, a popular vlogger known to share her life's details with her followers, had built a solid social media following. She was inspirational to a few because of her positive and happy demeanour. Her life takes a turn when she moves into her house and feels someone stalking her.

As days go by, she is seen looking for answers to strange things happening to her in her home and finding her all; Lexi can be seen becoming more frantic. Viewers are left asking some tough questions – what happened to Lexi? What made her disappear?

"We understand the horror audience. As horror movie fans ourselves we wanted to reach them where their attention is. With a well rounded digital marketing campaign including TikTok and Instagram Reels, we are overwhelmed with the response we see for Lexi," said Louie La Vella, Marketing Director for Lexi.

Some of the recent reviews from the viewers,

"A movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat; you can feel the love Victoria puts into Lexi and the crafting of the character. Strongly Recommend." 10/10

"I don't usually care for found footage films, but this one quickly deviates from the typically recorded footage and into interviews and other types of coverage that, for me, make it a lot more entertaining. I really enjoyed watching it.' 8/10

On Monday, November 21st, Corn Kid will join the Jolly Green Giant himself to provide a large-scale canned veggie donation at City Harvest, New York's first and largest food rescue organization, in his hometown of Brooklyn, NY. The donation of 90,000 cans of Green Giant® veggies, including 50,000 cans of corn, is enough for more than 270,000 of Corn Kid's fellow New Yorkers to enjoy a serving of veggies this holiday season.

Franken Chicken

 

So we are clear, 'cultivated food' is meat , poultry and sea food that is grown from cells. Yes brown in a lab. The manufacturing process begins with acquiring and banking stem cells from an animal. These cells are then grown in bioreactors (Industry word Not making that up) at high densities and volumes. Similar to what happens inside an animal’s body, the cells are fed an oxygen-rich cell culture medium made up of basic nutrients such as amino acids, glucose, vitamins, and inorganic salts, and supplemented with proteins and other growth factors. 

Changes in the medium composition, often in tandem with cues from a scaffolding structure, trigger immature cells to differentiate into the skeletal muscle, fat, and connective tissues that make up meat. The differentiated cells are then harvested, prepared, and packaged into final products. This process is expected to take between 2-8 weeks, depending on what kind of meat is being cultivated.

Now we have Upside Foods. 

From the Food & Drug administration today:

• After a rigorous evaluation, UPSIDE Foods became the first company in the world to receive a "No Questions" letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cultivated meat, poultry, or seafood
• This letter indicates that the FDA accepts UPSIDE's conclusion that its cultivated chicken is safe to eat

I can't make this up.
