Coca-Cola's New Soda Tastes Like Outer Space?
You've gotta hand it to the folks at Coca-Cola. Basing a flavor on something flavorless is pretty bold: They're debuting a new drink on Monday that's supposed to taste like OUTER SPACE. (???)
It's called Coca-Cola Starlight, and we don't know the REAL flavor. They just say it's inspired by space and has, quote, "notes reminiscent of stargazing around a campfire . . . as well as a cooling sensation that evokes the feeling of a cold journey to space."
It's a limited-time-only thing. Both original and zero-sugar options hit stores nationwide on Monday. One reporter who tried it said it tastes like regular Coke, just sweeter. And it's red, which was, quote, "inspired by the light of the stars." (Here's a photo.)
(Fun Fact: 85% of stars in our galaxy are red dwarfs, but they're too dim to see with the naked eye. Also, a 2009 study found the center of the Milky Way might taste like raspberries and rum. So maybe that informed the flavor too.)

Skyline Chili Is Being Recalled Because Some Cans Actually Contain Soup
Did you see the videos last week of Bengals fans shot-gunning cans of Skyline Chili? It was to celebrate making it into the Super Bowl . . . then they lost to the Rams. And this just adds insult to injury. It's possible some of them weren't even chugging chili.
Skyline just recalled thousands of cans of the stuff, because they might actually contain cream-of-chicken soup. (I can't decide if that's a grosser thing to chug or not.)
The cans in question rolled off the production line on December 21st. So it's possible one or two Bengals fans were expecting chili, but got a cream-of-chicken surprise instead. We haven't seen any reports of that happening yet though.
