1. Starbucks Just Started Selling Its First New Type of Espresso in 40 Years
Yesterday, Starbucks rolled out a new type of espresso for the first time in 40 years. And the target market is people who don't like espresso.
It's called the Blonde Espresso, so it's much lighter and smoother than the standard one, and even a little sweeter. That makes it better for rookie coffee drinkers who don't like a really strong taste.
Starbucks says you can also use it to make other drinks lower in fat and sugar. When you use the Blonde Espresso in drinks like lattes, they can use less milk and syrup, because the coffee is already sweeter.

Britain's "Sun" tabloid claims Ed has his entourage carry an emergency bottle of ketchup at all times in case he's somewhere they don't have it.
A "source" says, quote, "Ed has made no secret of his Heinz obsession, and has run out of patience with going to places that don't serve it [so] he has made it a duty of key members of his entourage to carry a bottle wherever he goes."
