A startup in the Netherlands has made and unveiled a massive hunk of lab-grown mammoth meat. We know you have questions, so let's take a bite.
How? Welp, apparently, they knew enough about mammoth genetics to create it from scratch. They started with sheep cells and added their homemade mammoth genetics. The missing parts were replaced with the mammoth's closest living relative, the African elephant.
Ok, but why?? To get people talking about the possibilities of food available now and on the horizon as technology like this continues to innovate.
Finally, what does it taste like? Nobody knows. Because the protein is 4,000 years old, it is unknown how the human body will react to it. Like any product heading to market, a gauntlet of tests will be conducted before anybody gets a bite.
For the first time in 14 years, Pepsi is refreshing its look. This is the only kind of refreshing it can be (Coke fans know what we're saying).
The new logo's black and electric blue color palette will also be part of the brand's new visual identity and reinforce the company's commitment to its zero-sugar option.
The new cans will launch in the fall ahead of Pepsi's 125th-anniversary celebration.
California has a simple proposition for Skittles, Nerds, and other candy using red dye No. 3: “Get rid of the dye, or get ready to die."
Ok, they didn't say that, we just liked the way it sounds, but they are moving to ban the red dye over potential risks. Risks include carcinogenic effects, memory loss, behavioral issues, and reproductive problems.
The dye is used in over 2,900 food products and some medications. The dye was banned from cosmetics and external applications in 1990 due to its links to thyroid cancer.
Needless to say, all our favorite red candy may be less bright soon.
