Aldi Fans ‘Need' This Summer Find: ‘Couldn't Agree More'

Miami Herald29-05-2025
Part of the fun of shopping at Aldi is that you never know what treasures you'll find in the novelty section, from clothing to home decor to giant floating sticks of butter.
Yes, you read that correctly, as the grocery chain has rolled out a collection of pool noodles inspired by popular food items.
The BigMouth inflatable pool noodles come in two designs in the Aldi Finds aisle, a sub sandwich and a stick of salted butter, and it seems like the latter has really gotten the attention of Aldi fans after the chain posted a photo of the novelty find, calling it "summer's hottest accessory."
"I don't have a pool but I need this," said one fan on Instagram as others agreed, calling the $9.99 pool toy a "brilliant" item and teasingly asking "Do you have it in unsalted?"
"All I need now is the pool," declared a third, while another couldn't tell if it was a prank, asking, "Chat is this real."
More jokes rolled in, with fans asking, "Is this not a buttered noodle?" and declaring that they "can't believe it's not butter."
"Paula Dean has entered the chat," teased another commenter, referencing the cooking personality known for her love of butter.
Land O'Lakes got in on the action as well, dropping into the comments to say, "We couldn't agree more, this is the hottest accessory."

Couple in 'newborn era' names baby after Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift

A baby born in Missouri has been named after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Liberty Hospital shared in a social media post Friday, July 25 that they were "so excited to announce the birth of the youngest Swiftie and newest member of The Kansas City Chiefs Red Kingdom!!" "Kelce Taylor is officially in her newborn era," the hospital happily announced. The news follows the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's first public Instagram photos with the pop superstar after two years of dating. The NFL star player — widely considered to be one of the greatest tight ends in history — wrote on Instagram that he "had some adventures this offseason," which included ice skating with Swift and rare glimpses into the couple's date nights. 'Happy Gilmore 2': The wildest celeb cameos, from Travis Kelce to Eminem The A-listers have stayed lowkey since Kelce's Super Bowl loss with the Chiefs in February, when the team fell short of a three-peat trophy win. Swift, too, is in a career offseason, recently wrapping her globetrotting, record-setting Eras Tour in December which spanned nearly 150 shows. Despite their newfound lowkey nature, it has been an exciting year for the pair. On her Instagram account, Swift announced that she reclaimed ownership of her entire music catalog in May. She posted a photo of herself sitting on the floor surrounded by her first six albums with the comment, "You belong with me," a nod to her hit from 2008's "Fearless" album. In 2019, Swift first said in a Tumblr post that she "wasn't given an opportunity to buy" the original recordings of her first six albums. Contributing: Bryan West, Melissa Ruggieri

PGA Tour Vet Goes Unrecognized In 'Undercover' Club Fitting At Golf Store

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 3M Open was heating up at TPC Twin Cities entering Day 3. Thorbjørn Olesen led the pack with a score of 14-under-par, while Jake Knapp started the day just one stroke behind him. However, amid all the score discussions, arguably the week's most viral moment came outside the ropes, away from the course even, at Golf Galaxy store in Blaine, Minnesota. PGA Tour pro Zac Blair shares hilarious incident Zac Blair, who got into the 3M Open field as a late alternate on Wednesday, posted a hilarious video to Instagram that's quickly become a fan favorite. With the course closed due to storms on Wednesday, Blair headed to Golf Galaxy for a casual club fitting, but as an "undercover". He got dressed in sweats, a blue T-shirt and let the staff treat him like any weekend golfer. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 12: Zac Blair of the United States hits a tee shot on the 10th hole during the first round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 12,... OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 12: Zac Blair of the United States hits a tee shot on the 10th hole during the first round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 12, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. (Photo by) More Getty Images Nic, the fitter, helped Blair but had no idea he was working with a Tour pro who's earned nearly $8 million in career prize money. When Blair requested a Titleist driver, Nic told him to "get his shoulders loose" and hit a few shots so they could measure his clubhead speed. The 34-year-old, enjoying the moment, agreed, swung a few pro shots and acted along. At one point, Blair's friend, who was recording the whole incident, asked Nic to guess the Tour pro's handicap. "I'll say probably one ... a regular one," Nic replied as shown in the video posted on Blair's Instagram handle. "I'm a 2.5 so," he added. "So you think he's better than you?" the friend questioned further. "Umm no," Nic replied with confidence. The moment was pure comedy. Blair is known as one of the shortest hitters on Tour. After a few swings, Nic fitted him with a driver that Blair later used to shoot a bogey-free 64 in Round 1 and 72 on Day 2 at the 3M Open. That was a good enough score to make the cut and head into the weekend at 6-under. Blair's Instagram caption made it clear the video wasn't meant to mock anyone. In fact, he praised Nic's knowledge and fitting skills. "Pt. 2 had to head back to golf galaxy and scoop that driver @nicholasurban1988 got me fitted in! Thanks again for putting up with us and pumped to have him out watching at the 3m this week!" he captioned his next post by sharing a video of meeting the fitter again and thanking him. This isn't Blair's first brush with a club-fitting incident The Salt Lake City, Utah, native faced a similar situation in Canada two years ago when his driver broke down mid-round. At that time, all the equipment trucks had left the tournament, and he had to scramble to find a replacement, again, without being recognized. The 34-year-old turned pro in 2014 and played college golf at BYU. Though he's still chasing his first PGA Tour win, he's had notable finishes, including a T4 at Zurich Classic last year, T2 at the 2023 Travelers Championship. He also made headlines during U.S. Open week last month with a 120-yard putt at Oakmont that went viral. As of this week, Blair entered the weekend round at TPC Twin 8 shots behind the leader.
