This Beer Company Puts Dog Photos on Cans to Help Them Get Adopted

It’s so sad to think about how many abandoned, stray, homeless animals there are across the country. Dogs and cats that are just waiting to find a safe, warm, loving home where they can live out their days in peace and comfort.

And while there are countless shelters and organizations doing great work out there in regard to rescuing and adopting animals, there’s always room for more help, right? Damn right, there is. Fargo Brewing Company in North Dakota recently joined forces with a local animal shelter called 4 Luv of Dog to create beer cans featuring perfect pooches who are looking to get adopted.

Please join us Monday, November 4th at 5pm for a very special Not-For-Profit event with 4 Luv of Dog Rescue! For this event we have packaged our Fargo Original Lager into 6 packs of cans where each individual can is labeled to highlight a different “Oneder” Dog! These Oneder dogs are special pups who have had a particularly hard time finding their forever home. Some of these dogs, while being great with people, have a hard time socializing with other dogs and therefore don’t get to come to foster puppy meet & greets which makes it difficult for people to get to know how great they really are! It’s our hope that through this event we can raise a little awareness about these “one”derful pooches and hopefully find them homes of their own! Proceeds from this event will benefit @4luvofdogrescue so please come join us in support this very worth cause for paws!

The dogs featured on the six-pack of cans are referred to as “Oneders” because they have had a harder time getting adopted due to socializing issues with other canines. On their Facebook page, Fargo Brewing Company said, “It’s our hope that through this event we can raise a little awareness about these ‘one’derful pooches and hopefully find them homes of their own!”

The pups featured on the six-pack are Nyx, Bizzy, Jensen, Hobie, Moby, and Virginia.

⠀This week’s ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#OnederDogWednesday is… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ?Jensen? Jensen is a special boy who has quickly stolen the hearts? of many of the building volunteers? He loves being with people and is a great little buddy. He is also a huge snuggle bug and loves to lay on the couch? Jensen is easy to please and is most happy when he is with people and has a ball in his mouth☺? He does great on a leash and loves to explore? Unfortunately, Jensen is still waiting to find a foster home? But he’s hoping his sweet smile will win someone over soon? • If you want to learn more about Jensen, apply to adopt or foster, donate to his care, or see all available dogs, visit 4LuvOfDog.org or click the link in our bio? • #OnederDog #sogoodyouonlyneedone #nextbestfriend #adoptme #dogrescue #pittie #adopt #donate #educate #sponsor #volunteer #FOSTER

The idea for the collaboration came from a man named Jerad Ryan who volunteers at the dog shelter and also works at a company that produces beer labels. Ryan said,

“I approached my boss about donating beer can labels to a brewery willing to feature our dogs. He loved the idea. I asked Fargo Brewing if they would be willing to do this for us and they loved it too. They have gone above and beyond with donating profits and having an event where the public can come and meet our Oneder dogs, as they don’t get to attend events with the other dogs. The response from the community has already been amazing and heartwarming.”

Mountain Dew Lovers: Get Psyched, Because There’s Now a Scented Candle Just for You

Most of us have a favorite soda. Mine happens to be good old Coca Cola Classic. But it doesn’t have much of a smell to it, does it?

Then there’s Mountain Dew, which has an unmistakable aroma, whether you’re a fan or not.

Well, a genius is now capitalizing on that smell and we’re all better for it. An Etsy shop called 716 Candle Co. is selling Mountain Dew-scented candles for only $15 a pop.

Photo Credit: Etsy

And in a Mountain Dew can, no less.

The candle is made from 100% soy wax from soybeans grown in America, and it’s supposed to burn for 40 hours (what a deal!). You can also get the Diet Mountain Dew version if you’re a bigger fan of that soda.

A post shared by MTN DEW (@mountaindew) on

Let’s take a look at the reviews for the candle, shall we?

“Smells just like Mountain Dew, and amazing customer service! You won’t regret getting this!”

“Shipping was fast, candle smells exactly like Mountain Dew, and candle design was exactly as anticipated – a perfect gift for any Mountain Dew fanatic!”

“Just amazing and the seller made the fizzy pop scent custom for me. Much appreciated.”

It looks like this company also has a Dr. Pepper candle, but it’s currently sold out. Keep an eye out that one to add to your arsenal!

To all the soda lovers out there, what kind of candle do you want to get your hands on? RC? Jolt Cola, Cheerwine?

Let us know in the comments!

Mountain Dew Will Launch a Peach-Flavored Drink Called ‘Happy Dew Year’

Some people absolutely love Mountain Dew…and then there are those who think it’s kind of revolting.

Love it or hate it, a new Mountain Dew flavor is headed your way very soon…a peach-flavored soda called ‘Happy Dew Year.’ The new flavor will launch on December 16, 2019.

According to the Mountain Dew Fandom wiki,

“Happy Dew Year is an upcoming Mountain Dew flavor that will be officially released in stores on December 16th, 2019 and until at the end of 2019 or in early 2020, in the United States as a limited edition flavor for the New Year’s season 2019-2020. It was first leaked via a Reddit conversation which was talked about being some kind of an upcoming soda.”

This news comes shortly after the announcement about Mtn Dew VooDew, a creepy mystery flavor.

People on Reddit seem to be pretty stoked on the new peachy flavor:

“If this is real, I’m gonna have a new favorite dew.”

“Nice to see them dewing more holidays. From Dew.S.A to Dew Year. For Valentines day, instead of Cupid it could be Dewpid. Or, Will U Dew Me?

Will certainly shake this up like a champagne bottle and pour it in a champagne glass. And store some for 20 or so years, let it age…”

Mountain Dew is clearly not messing around – they’re trying to keep their fans engaged with some new, exciting products.

People are still anxiously awaiting official news and details from Mountain Dew about this new concoction, so, for now, you’ll just have to sit tight and wait for that big announcement. Something to look forward to, right?!?!

5. Wow. Impressive.

6. That’s not nice.

7. Like an airline pilot?

8. Hahaha, not even close.

9. Hmmmmm…no.

10. That is outrageous.

11. Hanida in the house!

12. That’s interesting.

13. Kind of like the Mad Hadder?

14. That is very creative.

Hershey’s and Yuengling Teamed up to Create a Chocolate Beer

When two amazing things are combined, it’s cause for celebration, right?

Damn right!

What Old Style is to Chicago and Lone Star is to Texas, that’s what Yuengling is to Pennsylvania. Good, cheap beer enjoyed by regular folks who don’t want to spend a fortune on booze.

So it makes perfect sense that two of the most well-known businesses in the Keystone State, Yuengling and Hershey’s, teamed up to create the Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter.

Jennifer Yuengling, Vice President of Operations at the company, said:

“As the sixth generation of the Yuengling family, we have a 190-year history of listening to our fans and looking for new ways to deliver quality and memorable drinking experiences. We saw a unique opportunity to partner with Hershey’s, a brand known worldwide for its iconic, delicious tasting chocolate, to deliver fans our first-ever beer collaboration. We spent nearly a year developing our Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter and are excited for the world to indulge in the classic taste of Yuengling Dark Brewed Porter blended with the unmistakable taste of Hershey’s chocolate.”

You’ll be able to find the beer on draft in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, West Virginia, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, and Washington, DC.

You can also use the “Find Our Beer” tool on Yuengling’s website to find out where you can track down this special beer.

The brew is a limited-release product that is supposed to run from Halloween through Valentine’s Day, so you probably don’t want to sleep on this, folks.

A Dr. Pepper Cream Soda Flavor Will Hit Shelves in 2020

Got a hankering for something new in the soda game? Well, you’re in luck, friends.

It was recently announced that a Dr. Pepper and Cream Soda flavor will be hitting shelves next year in regular and diet forms.

The new flavors made their debuts at the recent National Association of Convenience Stores trade show (yes, it’s a thing) in Atlanta. Attendees are able to get sneak peeks at new beverages and snacks at the event. One visitor took a photo of the new products and shared her review on Instagram.

The person described the new drink: “New Dr Pepper & Cream Soda in both regular and diet varieties will be out March 2020! Due to the added vanilla flavor, these aren’t as strong on the classic Dr Pepper taste. Therefore, the flavor here is much less polarizing than original Dr Pepper. I actually like this flavor, unlike the original!”

In an email, the folks at Dr. Pepper said, “News this sweet is too good to keep to ourselves. We are excited to confirm Dr Pepper & Cream Soda is REAL, and we look forward to treating our fans to this next-level flavor as it starts to hit shelves nationwide in March.”

Can we get a replay? #OfficialDrinkofFansville

A post shared by Dr Pepper (@drpepper) on

There are some other new soda concoctions that are going to hit the shelves soon as well. Cinnamon Coca Cola is available now through the end of 2019 and Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite is also available now until December 31, 2019.

What do you think? Are you excited about these new products from Dr. Pepper? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

On another note, I really want to be invited to this trade show next year so I can sample all the new snacks and treats…hit me up if you’re going.

Bars in Italy Are Using Pasta Straws to Get Rid of Plastic Waste

Lately, companies have caused a stir (see what I did there?) by getting rid of plastic straws or only distributing them when customers specifically ask for them.

In Italy, bars and restaurants are now using pasta straws for drinks to cut down on plastic waste. What could be more Italian than drinking out of a pasta straw?!?!

Here in Italy bars are starting to use pasta as straws to reduce plastic use. Our technology amazes the world another time. from europe

The European Union voted to ban single-use plastic items by 2021, and it looks like the Italians are getting a head start.

Interestingly, there’s already a company in the UK called Stroodles that sells pasta straws. Maxim Gelmann, the founder of the company said, “Stroodles is not just a straw company and there is a much bigger picture, as I feel I can leave a long-term impact by creating a ripple effect by triggering many small changes all across the world, especially among people that are less conscious of sustainability and their respective actions and behaviors.”

??? Stroodles team at the Improving Air Quality in Mayfair event by @newwestendcompany

Posted by Stroodles- Pasta Straws on Tuesday, September 24, 2019

Gelmann added,

“The approach is to do this in a fun and non-preachy, non-finger-pointing manner. I rather aim for people to engage with a Stroodle and then themselves start asking themselves the right questions, like ‘Why is there a pasta straw in my drink?’ Thus, little realizations like that and them coming to their own conclusions, rather than being sold/preached. [It’s] much more powerful in creating behavioral and mindsets change. And … maybe next time one is offered a plastic bag, they will behave differently.”

I haven’t seen these in the U.S. yet, but maybe they’ll be coming soon?

The next step? Let’s work on getting pasta cups!

The Queen Shut down Her Staff’s Private Bar Because They Were Getting Too Drunk All the Time

Buckingham Palace seems like the epitome of class and high society. The property’s staff enjoys its own swimming pool, squash and tennis courts, choir and more. One thing that they don’t have, though, is a private bar — at least not anymore.

The staff of Buckingham Palace apparently enjoyed their private bar a little too much. The Queen’s former press secretary, Dickie Arbiter, revealed that the Queen had to shut the private bar down because people were getting too drunk.

Dickie said the staff ended up “too worse for wear” and “they had to get rid,” Insider reports. He revealed the juicy info in a new documentary, Secrets of the Royal Palaces, which premiered on the UK’s Channel 5.

It’s not clear when, exactly, the bar was removed, nor whether there were any specific incidents that led to its shutdown. Dickie kept his comments rather vague and concise, which is understandable. You don’t get to be the Queen’s press secretary by having loose lips!

Did the Queen ever stop in for a drink and see the debauchery for herself? It’s not completely out of the question. Some reports claimed that the Queen enjoys four cocktails daily, but those turned out to be just hearsay. She does, however, enjoy a cocktail before dinner (a gin and Dubonett, thank you very much), along with the occasional glass of sweet wine or champagne.
