Wimbledon fan swaps traditional strawberries and cream for Domino's dip, sparking debate
A Wimbledon spectator sparked a lively debate at the prestigious London tournament by forgoing the traditional cream with their strawberries in favour of Domino's Garlic and Herb Dip instead. The tennis fan caused quite a stir in the Wimbledon queue, boldly dipping the cherished strawberries into a pot of Domino's dip. Clara Jennings, 29, from Guildford, turned heads among fellow spectators as she tucked into her unusual snack while waiting to enter the globally renowned tennis event. Defending her unconventional choice, she explained: "Everyone does cream - I wanted something different. Sweet, savoury, and a little bit weird... but it works!" "I brought it as a bit of a laugh, but honestly, people loved it. I think I've started something." Her unique combination elicited various responses from onlookers. One tennis fan remarked: "I had to double take when I saw it, but I think it's pretty gross. Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven - this dip should be reserved for pizza, and only pizza." Yet others were curious enough to give it a go. Jennifer Holmes, hailing from London, said: "I'm all for the sweet and savoury mix. Someone has to start the trend. "Take peanut butter and jelly for example, that started with confusion but then went on to take the world by storm." At Wimbledon, it is estimated that fans consume over 1.9 million strawberries each year, which translates to a staggering 200,000 servings enjoyed throughout the Championships. Yet Wimbledon's classic strawberries and cream could be facing fierce competition from this new unexpected contender: strawberries paired with Garlic and Herb Dip, sparking a quirky new trend. The unconventional combination could potentially put a dent in the 7,000 litres of cream traditionally used to accompany the strawberries. Notably, the price of a serving of strawberries and cream has remained a steady £2.50 since 2010, making it a sweet deal for tennis fans. However, in recent years, Wimbledon has introduced a plant-based cream option for vegan spectators, available at select outlets around the grounds. A spokesperson for Domino's, said: "When this popped up on our Instagram, it was the first time we've seen someone enjoying our dip with strawberries! "How people enjoy our Garlic and Herb Dip is up to them - after all, lots of strange combinations were only strange until someone tried them. "Perhaps next year we'll see raspberries dipped into BBQ Sauce, or bananas drizzled with Honey and Mustard. Brits are renowned for their sense of individualism, and there's nothing more British than Wimbledon, so keep your eyes peeled."

Luigi Mangione celebrates 27th birthday with ‘27 Things I'm Grateful For'
Accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione celebrated his 27th birthday at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center by drafting a list of the '27 Things I'm Grateful For' as he awaits trial in his federal death penalty case. The list was later sent out via electronic communication and obtained by TMZ this week. It begins with an expression of gratitude for his family and friends 'for being there when I needed it most.' Mangione goes on to thank his admirers, who send him as many as 115 letters per day, according to ABC News. He says he also appreciates the prison workers who have dealt with the thousands of letters he's received from more than 40 countries since his arrest in December. He subsequent cites his 'world-class' legal team, his cellmate 'J' (who tolerates his clutter), his appreciation for Chicken Thursdays and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce, and everyone who has contributed to his commissary account and defense fund — the latter of which has raised more than $1,000,000. Mangione celebrated his birthday on May 6 while awaiting trial for the execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was gunned down by a masked man in Midtown Manhattan on the morning of Dec. 4. Mangione is accused of shooting Thompson in the back of his head while the Minnesota executive was walking to a conference at the Residences Hilton Club. The Maryland native has pleaded not guilty. Since his arrest five days later, Mangione has attracted a cult following that sees him as a Robin Hood-type character who struck a blow against an industry he heavily criticized in a manifesto seized by investigators. But prosecutors call his alleged actions 'a grossly misguided attempt to broadcast [his] views across the country.' In his list of 27 Things, Mangione mentions his 'current predicament' without speaking of his alleged crime. He thanks both liberals and conservatives for America's greatness and expresses thankfulness for having been born in the U.S. In early April, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Mangione. 'Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,' she wrote in a statement. Mangione is due in court June 26.
