Mario’s limited edition hot sauce probably won’t give you fire powers.

TRUFF’s truffle-infused condiments might not rank all that high on the Scoville scale, but what their new, limited edition Super Mario Bros. Movie collection of hot sauces lacks in heat, it more than makes up for in style and on-brand-ness.

Three bottles of hot sauce that are topped with caps resembling the mushrooms in the Mario games.

April Fools’ 2023: Nothing Beer (5.1%).

Fresh off of releasing the Ear 2 earbuds and ahead of its second phone, Nothing claims its latest product is not a joke. On the company’s website, it says they’ve made a beer that’s due to be released in summer 2023 and ask people to sign up for updates.

Making beautiful tech is thirsty work.

So we created Beer (5.1%). A crisp, unfiltered rice lager. Brewed independently at Freetime Beer Co in Wales, UK.

Ahhhh, fresh meat!

The Diablo IV early access beta opens tomorrow at 9AM PT / 12PM ET for those that preordered the game. However, if you’re like me and prefer eating some fast food to get your early access to Sanctuary instead of preordering, the KFC beta code promotion runs until March 18th.

Frankly, the Double Down sandwich wasn’t as bad as my colleagues made it seem. I was actually still hungry after.

Now see you all in hell!

SodaStream is a bad deal, and everyone should know it

Home seltzer mods have been around for years. CO2 is dirt cheap. So why are any of us putting up with a middleman jacking up the price of fizzy water?

Don’t trust Bill Gates’ taste in fake meat.

Loved this Bloomberg review of how the fake meat market went awry.

Here’s some free advice for all you VCs: the “crunchy set” is the actual market for meat replacement, so make black bean burgers with sweet potatoes and quinoa if you want to succeed. Good talk!
