mary01+FollowIs Happy Hour Actually Over?Happy Hour isn’t what it used to be—rising costs and changing habits mean fewer restaurants are offering those classic drink deals. Some spots dropped it during the pandemic and never brought it back, while others say it just doesn’t make financial sense anymore. Gen Z is drinking less, and more people are hitting the gym after work instead of the bar. But in some neighborhoods, the tradition is still alive and kicking—just maybe not everywhere you expect! #Food #HappyHour #FoodTrends00Share
Michael Austin+FollowSubway’s Local Woes: What’s Up With Sandwich Shops?Heard the buzz? A big Subway franchisee in California just filed for bankruptcy, and it’s not just them—over 600 Subway shops have closed in the past year! Rising ingredient prices and tough competition from places like Jersey Mike’s are making it harder for your favorite sandwich spots to keep the lights on. If you notice fewer Subways around, it’s not your imagination. Maybe it’s time to check out some local delis or try making your own sub at home! #FastFoodNews #MoneyHacks #FoodTrends #Business #Market310Share
Linda Price+FollowSmucker’s Ditches Fake Colors—Finally!Heads up, snack lovers: Smucker’s is kicking synthetic dyes out of all their food by 2027. That means your sugar-free jams, ice cream toppings, and even Hostess Twinkies will soon be free of those artificial colors like Red 40. Why? More people want cleaner labels and fewer weird ingredients in their treats. Nestlé and Kraft Heinz are also jumping on this trend, so expect your favorite snacks to look a little more natural soon! #FoodTrends #CleanEating #SnackNews #Business82213Share
Kim Reeves+FollowBig Brands Ditch Fake Colors—Here’s WhyHeads up, snack lovers! Conagra (think Duncan Hines, Slim Jim, Marie Callender’s) is saying goodbye to artificial colors in their frozen foods by year’s end. This means your next TV dinner or after-school snack could be colored with turmeric or plant extracts instead of lab-made dyes. The move comes as the government cracks down on fake colors, and other big brands are following suit. Looks like our food is about to get a little more natural! #FoodTrends #HealthyEating #SnackSmart #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup131Share
Mary Williams+FollowSouthern Comfort Food Is Getting WildGrandma’s mac and cheese just got a spicy passport! Southern kitchens are going global with Korean BBQ mac, Thai pizzas, and even Indian fried chicken. Hash browns are now topped with caviar, and mini dessert plates mean you never have to pick just one sweet. Chefs are sneaking in mushrooms as “meat,” adding floral flavors to biscuits, and making sure everything’s extra crunchy. Comfort food is booming, and it’s all about bold flavors, gut health, and value deals. Who knew Southern food could get this wild? #FoodTrends #SouthernComfort #FusionFood #Food50Share
awaters+FollowWhy Your Bread Might Cost More SoonDid you know America’s classic wheat fields are shrinking? Farmers are ditching wheat for corn and soy because wheat prices are so low, it’s barely worth the effort. Some are even turning their fields into cattle pastures or hay bales instead of harvesting grain. If you love bread, keep an eye out—less wheat could mean higher prices at the store. Sometimes, even tradition has to make way for better paychecks! #FoodTrends #FarmLife #MoneyHacks #Business #Industry40Share
Timothy Bird+FollowWhy Your Oat Milk Isn’t Foaming AnymoreEver notice your favorite oat milk just doesn’t froth like it used to? That’s because brands like Chobani are cutting out certain additives to keep up with the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ trend. While it’s great for our health, it means some drinks might lose their magic touch (like that perfect coffee foam). Food makers are stuck between keeping us happy and making healthier products—sometimes, you can’t have both! #FoodTrends #HealthyEating #ConsumerLife #Business10Share
Christina Davis+FollowRIP to Our Favorite Freezer PizzaEver reach for your go-to frozen pizza and realize it’s gone for good? That’s what happened with Rustic Crust—they just went bankrupt, leaving pizza lovers and a whole small town in the lurch. Turns out, rising prices for cheese and flour, plus everyone wanting fancier or plant-based pies, squeezed them out. Now, some restaurants are scrambling for new suppliers, and you might notice fewer options (or higher prices) in the freezer aisle. Time to dust off that homemade dough recipe! #PizzaNight #MoneyLifehacks #FoodTrends #Business10Share
