- 1. After a viral video of someone mixing diet soda with pickle juice went viral, Clauson dropped a limited-edition ‘Just The Brine’ drink. Fans have shown the drink so much love that Clauson will now release it permanently beginning Monday. The 8-oz bottle of pickle juice is the ultimate mixer to “pickle yourself” at night and filled with enough electrolytes to “unpickle yourself” the next morning. Clauson has fun with its products, releasing pickle wine pickle cupcakes in the past.
- Scientists say the next big superfood isn’t a veggie or a fruit – it’s cockroach milk. A paper published in the ‘Excli Journal’ explains that Pacific beetle cockroach feeds its young a substance made from its own body, providing more nutrients than any of animal milk on the planet. It’s four-times richer in protein than cow’s milk, and contains lots of nutrient-dense fatty acids. One scientist brave enough to try cockroach milk said it didn’t taste like anything. We’re a long way from grabbing a body of it from Whole Foods; researchers need to determine if it’s safe for humans in large quantities.
- Over the weekend, a California woman was reunited with her cat, Aggie, two months after believing she’d lost her in the Palisades wildfire. Katherine Kiefer, 82, was away at a medical appointment when the fire destroyed her home and her children weren’t able to find the hiding cat during the evacuation. Over the weekend, she received a call from the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter with incredible news: Aggie had been found alive. A video posted on social media by Kiefer’s daughter, which has gone viral and racked up over 6-million views, shows the emotional reunion with Kiefer in tears as Aggie curls up in her arms. The five-year-old Maine coon survived but was severely malnourished and required multiple blood transfusions. Aggie is expected to finally be well enough to go home this week. Kiefer is overjoyed by the unexpected miracle and is urging pet owners to never underestimate their animals’ resilience. The heartwarming story has touched many on social media, with users asking for regular updates on Aggie’s ongoing recovery.
