Coca-Cola's Newest Flavor Tastes Like . . . Pixels?
Think of something you can't touch, taste, or smell. Like rainbows, or that joyous feeling when a fresh episode of your favorite show hits Hulu. Congratulations . . . you may have just come up with Coca-Cola's next flavor. (???)
Back in February, they released a new soda called Starlight that's supposed to taste like outer space. Now they've got another one that's supposed to taste like PIXELS. It's called Coca-Cola Byte, and it'll be available through their website starting May 2nd.
It's not clear what it REALLY tastes like, but it's supposed to appeal to gamers. A virtual version of it actually debuted in the game Fortnite last month, probably to generate buzz. And it sounds like more of these abstract flavors are on the way.

Burger King Getting Sued Over The Size Of Its Whoppers
It’s fairly common knowledge that the burger you are served at a fast-food restaurant doesn’t exactly look like the ones you see advertised. Most of us know that these adverts are made to present the ideal dish or burger.
But now, four plaintiffs are taking Burger King to court over the SIZE of their famous Whopper claiming that Burger King exaggerates the size of the sandwich. The class-action suit filed in the U.S. District Court in Miami says that advertised Whoppers that you see are “based on false and misleading advertising concerning the size and/or the number of ingredients contained in the said menu item.”
Plaintiffs also claim that since 2017, Burger King has made the Whopper look larger in its ads. And they’re not just upset about Whoppers – the plaintiffs are calling out all sandwiches including the plant-based Impossible Whopper and the Croissand’wich breakfast sandwich. They want Burger King held responsible for damages and legal fees.
As for the company’s response, Burger King says it “does not comment on pending or potential litigations.”
