- Try not to blush while reading this: After a Publix grocery store bakery censored the Latin word “cum” in a message on a cake that was meant for a summa cum laude high school graduate, Late Night host Stephen Colbert tackled the topic in his Tuesday monologue. The segment ended with Colbert presenting a tray of “cum cakes” and promising to send them to the grad. Watch the clip below:
- The world’s largest Chick-fil-A just opened in New York City, and now the pious, Atlanta-based chicken-sandwich chain is eyeing another Big Apple location in Midtown Manhattan.
- No, you can’t name your restaurant “the Krusty Krab.” A judge has ruled media conglomerate Viacom has the rights to that trademark, made famous in everyone’s favorite meme-producing animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants.
- The Donald Trump administration will finally allow bear hunters to lure their targets with doughnuts and bacon. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
- Jared Kushner, son-in-law and, for some reason, foreign policy advisor to Trump, is apparently a bit of a foodie. He was the “cooking editor” of his college magazine at Harvard.
- McDonald’s is testing breakfast catering, and now it has a new breakfast jingle. The tune mixes ASMR and nostalgic qualities.
- Eighties candy fixation Bonkers is getting a revival. Good news for folks who want to be bonked out.
- Following the unwarranted arrests of two black men at one of its Philadelphia locations, Starbucks recently made it official company policy that people are not required to make purchases in order to hang out in its cafes. ’Bucks has clarified this policy to note sleeping and drug use are not allowed.
- The Starbucks app, available on iOS and Android devices, is the most popular mobile payment system. The company says mobile transactions represented 12 percent of total sales in the first quarter of 2018
- Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis recently discussed her daily routine with the Cut. She’s just like us: “I wake up at 5:30 a.m. and check my phone — not email because I feel like there’s just so many that it’s daunting.”
- In an extremely meta move, the Museum of Ice Cream, which has set up shop in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami, has launched its own line of ice cream.
- Finally, hot-shot Portland bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler showed host Seth Meyers how to make a bunch of cocktails on Late Night Tuesday.
