Costco's New Food Court Item Has Customers Divided: 'It's Offensive'
The new Combo Calzone, a baked turnover or folded pizza, is filled with all the fixings, including cheese, tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, olives, and mushrooms. Quite a mouthful! As the Instagram account @mnmtwinz reports, it features the same exact ingredients as the discontinued Combo Pizza that customers have been begging for a comeback. But, judging by the comments, for some, this news doesn't quite fill the void that the beloved pizza left.
"They do combo calzone but not combo pizza ok," wrote one disappointed customer.
"Looks like a messy diaper," commented another.
While the Combo Calzone has so far only been spotted in Michigan-area Costcos, the new menu item will be rolling out to locations across the country throughout the summer. Although some customers seem underwhelmed with the announcement, others who've gotten their hands on it are already singing its praises.
"It was perfection and a steal for $6.99," one customer noted in a Reddit thread. "Had one today, it was delicious!" exclaimed another.
"Can't wait for it to get to Ohio!" commented one person. "I liked it, big enough for my spouse and I to share, and a nice spice level on the sausage. Quality ingredients, cheese and sauce wrapped in a beautiful golden dough! What could be better! Reasonably priced as well, will buy again," reviewed one happy customer.
Since the rollout, customers have been wondering why Costco turned the beloved Combo Pizza into a Combo Calzone. As it turns out, a food court employee explained in the Reddit thread that the pizzas were assembled on-site, which reportedly introduced contamination risks and wastage issues. The calzones, on the other hand, are shipped frozen from a manufacturing site, circumventing those problems altogether, they claim. So for now, you'll have to enjoy your Combo in calzone form!

Older Women Reveal Current Fashion Trends They Hate
Maybe I'm biased as a 20-something, but I definitely think it's young adults who dictate fashion trends for the most part. Particularly because we're all chronically online, so we're constantly in tune with what everyone is because we're easily susceptible to joining needless crazes. And while a lot of us women are falling for the latest fashion trends, some of us are merely sitting on the sidelines, wondering what we're all thinking. So recently on Reddit, women have been answering the question, "What fashion trends can't you be bothered with?" and the answers are VERY eye-opening. And humbling. So here are the top responses: "Laminated eyebrows. I'm not interested in looking like I've been permanently zapped by an electric shock." "Personally, I can't be bothered with high heels, long fake nails, or flashy outfits that aren't practical. Comfort always wins for me!" "Only wearing silver or gold jewellery, and never both at the same time. Like, what?! Mixing metals is so cute; you just have to find ones that go together." "Crop tops. It doesn't make anyone look good; no matter how fit or beautiful, it'll make them look worse. It just makes anyone who wears it look worse. And it's the sort of petty hill that I will die on." "The clear plastic heels. OMG, I think they're awful, especially when they get foggy from people sweating." "Long socks with trainers. I'm a middle millennial and therefore it is ingrained in me that trainer socks are far superior if you are wearing something that shows your ankle." "Low-waist or skinny jeans…my fat ass just can't. 😂" "The high heels that look like flip flops. 🤢🤮" "Overly kitschy Y2K fashion. We had some good fashion at the time, and it certainly wasn't a sweater vest layered over a polo. I survived that era, and I'm not going back." "Contouring. I don't want to open the disappointment door every time I wash my face and my cheekbones vanish like a morning mist." "Eyelash extensions! It just looks extreme and unnatural." "Cosmetic fillers. I'm all for aging naturally. I embrace my hair tinsel. My 'crow's feet'? They're signs that I had a lot of laughs. The 'brackets' around my mouth? They're signs that I had a lot of smiles." "Long nails, especially with gems on them. I have had them a couple of times and cannot for the life of me figure out how to do basic tasks with them. Using your phone? Feels weird and awkward. Buttoning a shirt? Not gonna happen. Using a credit card machine? Forget about it. I could go on." "I just want color. I don't care how in-style beige or muddy browns are; I will always look for the bright-color options." "Loungewear but as like…their regular outfit. I love being comfy too, but I miss when we wore more than leggings and an oversized hoodie." "I hate it when a colour is 'in' and then all you see is that colour dotted around everywhere you go for the rest of the year. Like, why is that a thing?" "The super-fast-fashion, polyester clothing trend. Like ordering stuff from SHEIN." "Acrylic nails. No one can convince me that that amount of microplastics and UV light is healthy in any amount." "'Clean girl aesthetic.' I. Cannot. Stand. This." "Barrel jeans…they just genuinely look stupid and make it look like your legs are bowed when you walk." "Overpriced designer brands. I refuse. End of story. Even preteens and kids are now wearing $200 jeans and carrying $500 purses." Now it's your turn! Older women, tell me: what's a Gen Z or millennial fashion trend you just don't understand? Leave your response in this quick anonymous form, or in the comments below!
