What sounds like a failed science experiment is actually this summer’s new sugar-rush snack.  Finding new ways to decorate food is a cycle on TikTok, and a new radioactive-looking combination of pineapple and Kool-Aid is the newest big trend. Summertime snackers are soaking pineapple “spears” or chunks in a mix of Kool-Aid and sugar in a jar, shaking the ingredients, and then refrigerating the mashup anywhere from two to 24 hours.  The pineapple spears resemble pickles in pickle juice — except they are marinating in vibrant, flavored liquid sugar. The trend of using pineapple builds on the “Kool-ickles” trend, in…

If you need a good cry, try streaming Fried Green Tomatoes. You’ll shed some tears, but you’ll also be hungry for some Southern cooking, too. Based on the hit Fannie Flagg novel, Fried Green Tomatoes tells two separate but interconnected stories:  Evelyn (Kathy Bates) and Ninny’s (Jessica Tandy) unlikely friendship in the 1980s, and Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Ruth’s (Mary-Louise Parker) close bond in the 1930s. These women endure all sorts of trials and tribulations, including spousal abuse, racism and family tragedies, but it’s their friendships with each other that pull them through the tough times and make their…

Travel cancellations are looming amid jet fuel shortages from the ongoing Middle East conflict, potentially leaving some vacationers stranded without recourse — that is, if they overlooked the search for the right insurance policy.

Travel experts who spoke to The Post said that choosing an insurance plan should be strategic, and aiming for umbrella policies that cover a variety of reasons for cancellation is imperative. Adam Morvitz, CEO and co-founder at point.me, said…

Democrat California Rep. Ro Khanna claimed an infuriated Spencer Pratt-supporting “close friend” has lost so much trust in the state’s chaotic vote-counting process that he unregistered to vote in protest. “He is convinced Spencer Pratt was robbed of the election,” Khanna wrote on X Tuesday, after the former reality TV star lost the second spot in Los Angeles mayoral primary to Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman, fueling outrage among his supporters and allegations of voting shenanigans. Khanna explained that Election Day votes skew more Democratic, meaning it can appear that conservative candidates are leading in initial vote counts before those leads…

Sturgeons’ booty calls apparently have a bass beat. Scientists have discovered that the huge, Volkswagen-sized fish have been making thunderous, rumbling sounds while getting it on in the Hudson River, per a raunchy study published in the journal Endangered Species Research. “It’s almost that you feel it more than you hear it,” study co-author Maija Niemistö, of the New York State Water Resources Institute, said in a press release. “You can hear these chirps and squirts and bubbles underwater, but this is a different experience entirely.” The researchers happened upon eardrum-busting cacophony while eavesdropping on the mating habits of the Atlantic sturgeon,…

The Nova Scotia government says that the board responsible for libraries in the Annapolis Valley needs to better explain to the public why it has decided to close several branches. Meanwhile, the CEO of the organization says the “deeply upsetting” decision to close five of 11 library locations was needed to stay afloat despite years of staff reductions and program cuts.“This is the most difficult decision that a library can make,” Julia Merritt said in an interview Tuesday.“The library board knows it has to be fiscally responsible, so it had to make this decision to stabilize the system and preserve…

Most people are getting fibermaxxing wrong — and they don’t even know it. The trend has taken over wellness social media for good reason. Fiber genuinely works. It supports digestion, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, regulates blood sugar, and lowers cholesterol. Plus, most Americans fall well short of the recommended daily intake, so the impulse to eat more of it makes complete sense. But the problem isn’t the goal. It’s the all-or-nothing mindset that turns a legitimately healthy habit into a source of bloating, cramping, and digestive misery. As Heather Butscher, RDN, at University Hospitals Digestive Health Institute puts it: “Fibermaxxing…

The scammers used Social Security numbers in other states that belonged to multiple addresses and even prisoners, dead people and children in some cases to bilk unemployment benefits, according to the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, which investigated the COVID-era scheme. More than 53,000 Unemployment Insurance claims in the Garden State were found to be fraudulent as a result. The…
