"Pop-Tart Creator Bill Post Passes Away at 96"

Bill Post, the man credited with inventing Pop-Tarts for Kellogg's, passed away at the age of 96. Born in 1927, he worked his way up to become a plant manager at Keebler before creating the iconic toaster pastry in the early 1960s. Despite initial skepticism, Pop-Tarts became a huge success, with over three billion consumed in 2022. Post continued to work as a consultant for Kellogg's after his retirement. He is survived by two children, four grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren.

Doritos has partnered with drink company Empirical to create a limited-edition Nacho Cheese Spirit, a savory nacho cheese-flavored liquor that retains the essence of real nacho-flavored Doritos through vacuum distillation. The liquor, which has 42% alcohol by volume, is available for pre-order online for $65 and is expected to be delivered in January 2024. Reviews on social media have been mixed, with some expressing excitement and others finding the concept nauseating. This is not the first time a beloved snack food has been infused into a spirit, as Arby's previously released vodka flavors inspired by its curly fries and crinkle fries.
