Heinz and Hunt’s Are in Engaged in a Ketchup-Fueled Space Race

By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie When Heinz developed a ketchup to mimic flavors sourced on Mars, Hunt's and Stephen Colbert couldn't help but respond. Forget the billionaires who keep launching their own-brand rockets toward the Kármán line, and ignore any lingering competition between NASA and Russia's Roscosmos: the real 21st Century space race is apparently between, uh, two very terrestrial brands of ketchup.

By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The cinema giant announced they will offer freshly-popped popcorn at mall kiosks and via delivery, plus a new microwave-at-home option. Recently, AMC has faced more twists and turns than a suspense thriller. For years, skeptics have wondered whether technology like home theater systems and streaming services would undermine the entire cinema industry. And yet, movie theaters widely prevailed... that is, until the COVID-19 pandemic. Shuttered theaters sunk AMC's value to an all-time low… that is, until online investors turned the company into a meme stock, propelling shares to a record high. It may…

Over 40% of Children Think Bacon Comes from Plants and French Fries Are Some Kind of Meat, According to a New Study

By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie That childhood naivety could be an opportunity to fight climate change, the paper suggests. Kids can be notoriously picky eaters, but a new study suggests that their culinary knowledge may not be refined enough to match their discerning palates. Over two-thirds of the youngsters involved in the research believed that bacon didn't come from an animal, but instead came from some sort of mythical bacon plant. A study recently published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology asked 176 American children from the ages of four to seven years old to, among other things, sort 13 foods…

Justin Bieber Teams with Tim Hortons on a Signature Timbits Doughnut Flavors
