If there's one thing about getting older, it's that nostalgia hits like a freight train. Maybe it's a craving for simpler times, or maybe we just refuse to grow up—but some childhood staples still hold a sacred spot in our hearts (and snack drawers).
Which is where Costco comes in. The warehouse wonderland has a knack for stocking carts with fan-favorite snacks—whether it's a throwback treat, a modern mashup or an everyday classic, there's always something just begging to come home with you.
And thanks to an eye-catching post from @costcohotfinds, we've got our next must-grab item locked in: the ultimate childhood schoolyard gem—Fruit by the Foot.

'Fruit by the Foot is $4.50 off at Costco through July 20th and it's a massive box of 48 rolls,' Laura exclaims in her post. 'This box includes Berry Tie-Dye, Strawberry Tie-Die and Blue Raspberry Tie-Dye—all made without colors from artificial sources.'That's right, Fruit by the Foot no longer relies on artificial colors. In fact, General Mills overhauled the recipe back in 2015, removing synthetic dyes and flavors in favor of natural alternatives like pear juice, fruit-derived colors and natural flavorings. And at the current price of $10.49 per 48-count variety pack, this is one nostalgic deal worth stocking the pantry with.
'Perfect for lunches, snacks or a little throwback treat for yourself,' Laura says in her video. In the comments, one fan raved, 'All the flavors are complete bangers, blue raspberry is the BEST.' Another simply added, 'Love this!'
As Laura mentioned, now through July 20, fans can snag a giant 48-count box featuring 24 Berry Tie-Dye, 12 Strawberry Tie-Dye and 12 Blueberry Raspberry Tie-Dye. Each one still rocks the classic Fruit by the Foot design, texture and flavor—despite the updated ingredient formula. We love a good revamp, and this variety pack is the perfect way to bring a childhood favorite back into your snack rotation.Shoppers Are Flocking to Costco for This Throwback $10 Snack: 'All the Flavors Are Complete Bangers' first appeared on Parade on Jun 25, 2025

Thinking of Watching Brad Pitt's 'F1' at Home? Think Again
Brad Pitt's latest film is a full-throttle, high-octane tribute to Formula 1 racing—and it's built to be seen on the biggest, loudest screen available. Shot with immersive race footage and anchored by Pitt's signature ease and intensity, the film is part sports spectacle, part character study, and all energy. Critics are already calling it 'velociously loud and exceedingly exciting,' with Rotten Tomatoes praising Pitt's 'effortless charisma' as the engine driving the story forward. And while there's no shortage of sports dramas on streaming platforms, F1 isn't trying to fit neatly into that lane. It's going for speed and scale. The film follows a former Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes (played by Pitt) who returns to the circuit to mentor young rising star, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). It's classic redemption-arc stuff, but what makes it hit harder is the visceral, ground-level view of the racing world. Pitt reportedly trained on actual F1 tracks and filmed during real Grand Prix weekends, which gives the racing scenes a lived-in authenticity that's hard to fake. But what really sets F1 apart is how it looks and sounds in IMAX because it was "Filmed For IMAX." In fact, the whole movie is in the 1.90:1 aspect ratio. The roar of the engines. The tension of a corner taken just a little too fast. The vibration in your chest when tires peel off the track. It's the kind of sensory overload that streaming can't replicate—no matter how nice your soundbar is. It's not just a movie; it's a rush. Whether you're a diehard F1 fan or just here for peak Pitt, F1 rewards you for showing up to the theater. And in an era where most action gets watered down into safe, streaming-ready content, this one doesn't flinch. It floors it. Watch it big. Watch it loud. Watch it in IMAX.

Jane Stanton Hitchcock, 78, Dies; Crime Novelist Who Mocked High Society
Jane Stanton Hitchcock, a daughter of privilege who skewered the foibles of her tribe in a series of addictive crime novels, and who then uncovered a real-life crime when her mother was swindled by her accountant, died on June 23 at her home in Washington, D.C. She was 78. The cause was pancreatic cancer, said Kathy Rayner, a friend. Ms. Hitchcock grew up at 10 Gracie Square, a blue-chip co-op on the East River that was once home to Gloria Vanderbilt, Brooke Astor and other Manhattan society figures. Her mother was Joan Stanton, a glamorous but chilly 1940s-era radio star famous for her role as Lois Lane on the radio version of 'The Adventures of Superman.' Her father, Arthur Stanton, who adopted her when she was 9, had made a fortune importing Volkswagen cars after World War II. The Stantons were known for their elaborate parties, where Leonard Bernstein might be found at the piano. For Jane's 21st birthday, Neil Simon composed a sketch. When she was 29, she married an heir of the wealthy industrialist and Treasury secretary Andrew Mellon, William Mellon Hitchcock — who had earned a bit of notoriety when he rented his mansion in Millbrook, N.Y., to the psychedelic-drug guru Timothy Leary — mixing her newish money with his gilded-age wealth. A tart observer and a professional wit, Ms. Hitchcock drew from her rarefied ecosystem in all her work, beginning with a series of wanly reviewed films and Off Broadway plays — and one London production, directed by Harold Pinter in 1990. It wasn't until she began mixing social satire with murder that she found her voice. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Chase Elliott's latest victory reminds us that distance does not equal disinterest
As Chase Elliott basked in the adulation of the crowd at his hometown track on Saturday night, he made a mental note to open his mind and absorb as much of it as he possibly could. It was one of the moments where 'you just wish you could bottle it up, get it out every now and again, and relive it,' Elliott said. It was a full sensory experience Elliott said he'll 'remember for the rest of my life.' Advertisement 'I'm not sure anything has ever matched that,' he said a couple hours later after the cheers had died down. 'It was crazy. I've never been on stage and been a singer or anything, (but) I would have to imagine it would feel something like that.' Does that sound like a guy who doesn't care about his job? A dude who is checked out? Of course not. It's just that when it comes to Elliott, the work/life balance he carries often gets mistaken for disinterest — and when he's not winning, it becomes an increasingly glaring focus among the fan base. He's not committed! Does he even want to do this? That's partly because of what Elliott allows us to see — which admittedly isn't much. But just because it gets repeated so often doesn't make it true. The misunderstanding probably starts with where he chooses to live. Unlike 95 percent of NASCAR drivers, Elliott does not live in North Carolina. He resides in his hometown of Dawsonville, Ga., and is not immersed in the Charlotte area's racing bubble. Like Carl Edwards did while living in Missouri or like Martin Truex Jr. did in the latter years of his career while splitting time between New Jersey and Florida, Elliott's living situation allows him to disconnect from NASCAR during the week as much as he can without taking away from his competitive efforts. Though he has social media accounts, Elliott does not post on them himself — or seemingly even scroll through his timeline. Whatever doesn't help make his car go faster is something he's not interested in — and that includes keeping up on the latest NASCAR news. It creates eyebrow-raising situations like last week at Pocono, when Elliott said he didn't know anything about the in-season tournament and was surprised to learn there was a $1 million prize for the winner. NASCAR fans, who consume every morsel of news and insight about their favorite sport, have a hard time reconciling how they can know so much more about what's going on in racing than NASCAR's most popular driver does. Advertisement So whenever he goes through a drought, Elliott's aloof approach to NASCAR-related topics creates an easy target for his critics. It probably doesn't help that he is open about it, too. Last year, for example, Elliott told The Athletic he consumes 'literally as little as I can' when it comes to NASCAR news. But when you listen to the rest of what he says and read between the lines, it's more layered than it appears. 'I really just don't find it to be helpful,' he said of being immersed in the NASCAR minutiae. 'I don't see where reading into a lot of those things is productive, even in the slightest. So I've really tried to just shift my priorities and the things I view that matter to me. Scrolling through the internet on things that just simply don't make a difference, I have just chosen to eliminate, and I feel like I'm a better competitor for it.' A GEORGIA BOY AND HIS PEOPLE! 💚@chaseelliott | #QS400 — EchoPark Speedway (@EchoParkSpdwy) June 29, 2025 Though Elliott is still only 29, he has always been exceptionally mature and worldly. At some point in his mid-20s, he realized he was saying 'yes' to too many commitments and spreading himself too thin. In his mind, those are the things that hurt competitiveness — not being ignorant about the magnitude of another driver's penalty that doesn't affect him personally. 'When I decided I wanted to be a race car driver, I didn't decide to pursue that because I wanted to be on TV or get a bunch of attention,' he said during his conversation with The Athletic last year. 'That was just never a thought in my mind. It was all about, 'Man, these guys are great race car drivers. That would be so cool to do.' 'I really admired and respected whoever's craft I was watching. I love the amount of discipline it takes to be at the top of this garage. That is the most important thing in my view. … Competitive on-track performance is the whole reason I wanted to do this and what keeps me coming back each week. So I'm going to make sure I prioritize what matters.' Advertisement Again, nothing there sounds like someone who doesn't care. Rather, it's a high-profile person in the spotlight trying to care about the right things. That requires Elliott enforcing boundaries other drivers may not have, but it doesn't make it wrong just because it's different. Let's take a step back for a moment and look at Elliott as a whole. On Saturday, Elliott became just the seventh driver in NASCAR history to reach 20 wins before his 30th birthday. The others on the list are among the sport's legendary names: Richard Petty, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Junior Johnson and Fireball Roberts. If his career ended tomorrow, Elliott would already have done enough to be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame (yes, really — and it's not even close). He has a Cup championship and Xfinity championship to go with those 20 Cup wins and also has seven Most Popular Driver Awards. Elliott has won his 20 Cup races on every major category of track: Road course (seven, which is third all time), intermediate (five), superspeedway (four), 1-mile (three) and short track (one). The problem is he hasn't won enough lately. And it's still a bit of a mystery where the turning point occurred. Was it when Kyle Larson joined Hendrick Motorsports? Since then, Larson has won 26 Cup races — double the next-closest driver in the field — to Elliott's nine. And that next-closest driver to Larson is another Hendrick teammate, William Byron. But that's not really valid, since Elliott made the Championship 4 in his first two years as Larson's teammate and even led the series in victories in 2022 (five). The more notable shift seemed to be the Next Gen car. Though Elliott won more races than anyone in 2022, the first year of the Next Gen, that was an unusual season where no one quite had a handle on it yet. Once teams began developing it further and the field became closer, Elliott struggled to find the elite speed he needed to win races. His snowboarding accident early in 2023 also caused him to miss valuable seat time during that pivotal second season of the Next Gen. Elliott never won that year after he returned from the accident and missed the playoffs for the only time in his career. Since then, he's only won two races — at Texas last year, which snapped a 42-race winless streak, and on Saturday night at Atlanta, which snapped a 44-race winless streak. Advertisement Earlier this year, in an interview with Fox Sports analyst Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch recounted a conversation with Elliott in which the two drivers compared notes on their struggles with the Next Gen car. 'I've had some long conversations with Chase Elliott because we grew up the same way (racing Late Models),' Busch said. 'I'm like, 'Man, have you found this thing to just be a beast? Like a challenge?' He's like, 'Yeah, I've had to change my driving style.'' But that's not to say the car has taken all of Elliott's speed; he's still fast, just not fast enough to run up front as often. This year, for example, Elliott hasn't finished worse than 20th. He's only been outside the top 15 three times. And he is on pace for his career-best average finish: 10.3, which leads the Cup Series by almost two full positions. He recently told The Athletic that the consistent finishes, even on the 'bad' days, can be harder than winning races, in some instances. And despite the victories, the ability to salvage good results each week has only made the confidence in his team grow. 'It's just a really good reminder that we have a really good team,' he said earlier this month. 'I really do believe that.' Now Elliott could use more nights like Saturday to make sure everyone else believes it, too. (Top photo of Chase Elliott celebrating Saturday's win: Sean Gardner / Getty Images)
