Pepsi made its first-ever condiment

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:13:19 GMT

New York (CNN) — Typically, Pepsi is best with a hot dog… not on a hot dog. But maybe that’s changing.The beverage brand is making its first-ever condiment — called “Pepsi Colachup” — that is actually infused with Pepsi. The special sauce is being launched in celebration of July 4, when baseball and hot dogs are aplenty, and is enforcing the company’s belief that hot dogs are best paired with its soda.Pepsi’s Colachup might sound foul (ball) at first, but it actually has culinary credibility. It was developed with the Culinary Institute of America, a prestigious cooking school, to “craft a revolutionary new type of condiment enhanced with the rich caramel notes and citrusy pop of Pepsi-Cola,” according to Jenny Danzi, a senior director at Pepsi.Beginning with a Pepsi reduction, the sauce is infused with a variety of ingredients such as smoked tomatoes; a blend of spices including cinnamon, thyme, oregano and paprika; plus onions and ketchup. That results in a “sweet, citrusy taste” ...

Europe’s new data law, explained

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:13:19 GMT

Industrial manufacturers in Europe sense the opportunity of big data — but Brussels is about to change the rules on how to tap into it.European Union legislators struck a deal Tuesday evening on a landmark bill that aims to regulate who can access and share data generated by connected machines and devices, both on the work floor and at home.The new law is a response to the untapped potential of industrial data in Europe, as 80 percent of machine or device-generated data is never used. The slow pace of its data economy is a threat to Europe’s industrial base — where the Continent still holds considerable sway — and data will be key for the deployment of artificial intelligence technologies in coming years.The EU’s Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton warned last week that underusing industrial data is “holding back its huge potential for growth and innovation.”Still, Europe’s effort to regulate itself into a thriving industrial data economy has gained little attention.

Is it a ‘richcession’? Or a ‘rolling recession’? Or maybe no recession at all?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:13:19 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The warnings have been sounded for more than a year: A recession is going to hit the United States. If not this quarter, then by next quarter. Or the quarter after that. Or maybe next year.So is a recession still in sight?The latest signs suggest maybe not. Despite much higher borrowing costs, thanks to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive streak of interest rate hikes, consumers keep spending, and employers keep hiring. Gas prices have dropped, and grocery prices have leveled off, giving Americans more spending power.The economy keeps managing to grow. And so does the belief among some economists that the United States might actually achieve an elusive “soft landing,” in which growth slows but households and businesses spend enough to avoid a full-blown recession.“The U.S. economy is genuinely displaying signs of resilience,” said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY, a tax and consulting firm. “This is leading many to rightly questio...

How a social media account has helped grow the UK fan base of MLB — and specifically the Chicago Cubs

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:13:19 GMT

A trip to Mexico six years ago unexpectedly changed the direction of Mike Ivory’s sports fandom.Four days into a vacation with his wife, Ivory stopped in to the sports bar in their hotel, where he saw a baseball game playing on the TVs. The England native was surrounded by Chicago Cubs fans in the bar and started talking with those seated around him as they watched the game, learning about the history of the franchise.“I was hooked,” Ivory told the Tribune. “I watched a lot of baseball throughout that whole holiday, but it was really the Cubs that I kept going back to to look at the scores.”When Ivory returned to the United Kingdom, he figured other baseball fans must be out there despite the sport’s low popularity in the country. So Ivory started a Twitter account (@ChicagoCubsUK) to connect with other baseball lovers in both his native country and the U.S. — and more specifically, Cubs fans.Ivory, 31, saw the engagement grow after the inau...

Elizabeth Warren wants cities, towns to apply for federal electric school bus grants

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:13:19 GMT

Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants Massachusetts cities and towns to apply for federal grants allowing them to replace diesel-operated school buses, public buses, and train engines with their electric-powered counterparts.In a Tuesday letter to the heads of the Massachusetts Municipal Association and the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, Warren said the iconic yellow school buses used across the United States that still operate on fossil fuels are harmful to children.The air pollutants from tailpipes impact children’s learning, development, and health through asthma and other respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer, Warren said.“Communities of color are disproportionately exposed to this risk,” Warren said in the letter. “Furthermore, the greenhouse [gasses] that are emitted by diesel buses contribute to the climate crisis.”Warren pointed to $400 million in grants available through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus Grants Program. The deadlin...

NEW YORK (AP) — World Bank President Ajay Banga, Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan, singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette and “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal are on this year’s Great Immigrants list announced Wednesday by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.Since 2006, the foundation has assembled an annual list of notable naturalized American citizens to celebrate the contributions immigrants make to the country and how they strengthen democracy.“These are extraordinary people,” said Dame Louise Richardson, president of Carnegie Corporation of New York and a native of Ireland who is a naturalized citizen herself. “Presenting all these amazingly positive stories of people who’ve contributed hugely to American life I think is important every year.”However, she acknowledges that the issue of immigration has become more politicized.“I do think there is a growing sense that the numbers of migrants are somehow getting out of hand — and this is not unique to the U.S.,” Richardson told The...
