Our very own Ross Yoder recently found himself on the Jell-O side of TikTok, and was gob smacked by ~frozen~ Jell-O. Even though the end product is a bit janky, it's the texture that really counts here! It's super hard to describe, but definitely worth running to your nearest grocery store, grabbing a box of Jell-O, and trying it out for yourself!    Check it out! So, apparently, folks on TikTok are claiming that drinking coffee on an empty stomach causes ~all~ sorts of issues (read: acne, hair loss, painful periods, and exhaustion). We spoke with a doctor, to debunk some of these TikTok health claims!   Krista and her partner, Phil, have a bit of a disagreement on the viral "Mother's Earth's Ranch." Cue Phil: "It tastes nothing like ranch. It isn't the worst thing I've ever eaten, but I definitely won't eat it again." I guess it's a hard pass in Krista's household!   Hannah recently popped over to Trader Joe's and bumped into their new Instant Boba Kit. It's something she has not seen before, and she tried it out herself! Four servings for $5.49? She had to give it a whirl! :)   Have you thought of converting potato chips back into...mashed potatoes? Apparently, it's do-able and is a "cheat" for making velvety, delish potatoes.
