Cinnamon Toast Crunch launches new flavor
By Published: Updated: But some loyal fans have shown no interest in purchasing the limited-time cereal and are questioning why the 'disgusting' product exists. 'I don't think I could do this one,' a fan admitted on an Instagram post. 'They doing too much ewww not spending a penny on this,' another person commented on a video. A few social media users admitted they tried the cereal and it did not meet their expectations. 'That bacon burned absolutely horribly because it's literally covered in sugar,' a commenter wrote. Other fans were furious - not because of the cereal brand's newest product - but because it was sold out, making them claim 'influencers got their hands on them' early. General Mills was inspired to collaborate with Hormel Foods after the company received positive reviews for its limited-time Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored bacon last year. Both companies had the same goal with this cereal: Rewrite the rules of breakfast. 'Bringing these two iconic breakfast staples and irresistible flavors together gives our fans even more reason why they Must Cinnadust,' said Brandon Tyrrell, senior marketing manager at General Mills. 'After seeing the fan response to last year's collaboration, we knew we had to bring these two breakfast icons back together,' said Aly Sill, senior brand manager at Hormel Foods. 'We're shaking up the way bacon fits into daily routines, and we can't wait for consumers to experience it.' While the hate was intense on social media, several commenters also enjoyed it, and food blogger Snackolator enjoyed its subtle flavor and 'super smoky' smell. 'Wow these are so delicious I bet my kids would be all over it,' an Instagram user wrote. 'I'm not sure! But I'll always try one thing once!,' another fan responded. General Mills has a history of surprising fans with unexpected collaborations. Social media users had mixed opinions after Jason and Travis Kelce teamed up with the company to release a new limited-time cereal. The cereal, a combination of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms and Reese's Puffs, was described as a 'crime against nature' by one X user. Not only is the company known for its unique partnerships, but it also made headlines for quietly discontinuing Cheerios products .

Cinnamon Toast Crunch launches new flavor and it will be divisive
Longtime Cinnamon Toast Crunch fans are divided by the brand's new cereal flavor - bacon. The General Mills brand collaborated with Hormel Black Label bacon on cereal that dropped on Walmart's website on Tuesday starting at $5.84 per box. But some loyal fans have shown no interest in purchasing the limited-time cereal and are questioning why the 'disgusting' product exists.

I've Made Bacon Every Way You Can Think Of. This Method Wins, Hands Down
Summer salads, burgers and breakfast all have one thing in common: They're better with bacon. But getting those pork strips perfectly crisp without turning your kitchen into a smoky, greasy disaster? That's harder than it should be. I've pan-fried, air-fried and even microwaved bacon, but none of those methods nailed the sweet spot between texture and cleanup. Turns out, the best way to cook bacon is also the simplest: Make it in the oven. I'm not the only one who struggled to get it right. The internet is full of frustrated bacon-lovers dealing with rubbery strips, burnt edges and oil-slicked countertops. After testing every method (and scrubbing my stovetop more times than I'd like to admit), oven-baked bacon came out on top. It's hands-off, splatter-free and delivers evenly crisp strips every time. If your current bacon method feels more chaotic than delicious, this easy oven technique might be your new go-to. Below, you'll find the simple steps needed to cook perfect bacon in the oven. When it's done, I've outlined nine genius ways to use leftover bacon fat. How to cook perfect bacon in the oven It's fine if the bacon touches, as long as it's not overlapping. Hana Asbrink/CNET Here are my tips for cooking perfectly crisp bacon in the oven. Spoiler alert: There aren't many steps, and none of them take very long. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I would avoid air fryer mode if your oven has it since the fast-moving air is more likely to blow grease around the inside. We're aiming for a mess-free scenario. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, or use a nonstick sheet pan for a more eco-friendly approach. If you're going the foil route, make sure the edges ride up the sides of the tray so the grease doesn't spill over the sides and down onto the tray. If you're using nonstick bakeware, I prefer a ceramic sheet pan or tray but Teflon works well, too. Read more: Nonstick Cookware Guide: Teflon, Ceramic and More Explained Arrange bacon on the tray. The strips shouldn't overlap, but it's fine if they touch since they'll shrink down significantly while cooking. If you prefer super crispy bacon with a bit less grease, you can arrange the slices on a wire rack above the tray for the fat to drip down below. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Be sure to keep one eye on the bacon as some ovens run hotter than others. If you like your bacon crispy and well done, give it another few minutes. Remember, bacon does a lot of its crisping after it comes out and cools. Read more: Make Your Next Burger in an Air Fryer and Thank Me Later Oven bacon is as good as it gets. Hana Asbrink/CNET Drain the bacon on a sheet or two of paper towels. After a few minutes, you're ready to serve those crispy strips with eggs, in a BLT or crumbled to fancy up boxed mac and cheese. The best part? After cooking bacon in the oven, all you're left with is a small ball of foil to heave effortlessly into the trash. A few countertop ovens for cooking bacon For bacon, I love using a smaller countertop convection model. A large oven works just as well but takes longer to preheat and, dang it, we want bacon now. The Ninja Double Oven and Breville's Smart Oven Air are two multifunction ovens that work well. Both are large enough that bacon grease won't splatter on the ceiling, but are small and powerful enough to preheat quickly and cook bacon to a crisp in under 10 minutes. (We've also got tips for how to clean your cast iron skillet and how to make boxed mac and cheese taste so much better.) Can you make bacon in an air fryer? An air fryer is another cleaner tool for making bacon. Getty Images Absolutely. Easy air fryers are perfect for making bacon in a very similar manner to oven bacon. Here's a step-by-step guide to making bacon in an air fryer. FAQs Why should I avoid the oven's air fryer mode when cooking bacon? In order to air fry the bacon in the oven, a lot of hot air moves very quickly through where the meat is cooking. While this wouldn't normally be a problem, bacon is greasy (it's part of the reason we're avoiding cooking it over the stovetop in the first place). The fast-moving air produced in air fryer mode is a good way to spatter that grease all over the place inside your oven.

TikToker knocks Harris' 'weird' take on never released interview: 'Not good'
Former Vice President Kamala Harris offered a take so "weird" and "not good" in an interview with social media personality Kareem Rahma that they both agreed to nix airing the footage, according to Rahma. Rahma, who hosts the popular series "Subway Takes," where he asks commuters and sometimes celebrities their opinions, previously told the New York Times that he conducted an interview with Harris during the summer of 2024, but that it was never released. Rahma said in an interview clip with Forbes' Steven Bertoni posted on social media Monday that Harris' take was so "bad" he felt fortunate it didn't make the cut. "Her take was really confusing and weird – not good," Rahma told Bertoni. And we "mutually agreed to not publish it. And I got lucky, because I didn't want to be blamed for her losing." "Her take was that bad?" Bertoni said. "It was really, really bad… it like, didn't make any sense," Rahma said, revealing Harris' take was "bacon as a spice." Neither Harris nor Rahma immediately responded to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. Rahma, who is Muslim, told the New York Times in a story published in November 2024 that Harris' team originally proposed she would share a "hot take" against people removing their shoes on airplanes. But Harris went on to declare that bacon was a spice – a food that Rahma and other Muslims do not consume for religious reasons. The Times reported that Rahma was "taken aback" by Harris' statement. "Think about it, it's pure flavor," she said, per the unaired footage obtained by the Times. The Times' story said two senior campaign managers for Harris said the topic of bacon had been previously raised, while Rahma and his manager said that wasn't the case. Harris' campaign reportedly apologized for sharing her take on bacon and offered to re-film the episode, but Rahma declined, according to the Times. Rahma told the Times that his reasoning for not airing the interview was because he didn't want to upset the Muslim community, and that he was hoping to ask Harris questions about the Biden administration's policy regarding the Israel–Hamas war. "It was so complicated because I'm Muslim and there's something going on in the world that 100% of Muslims care about," Rahma told the Times. "And then they made it worse by talking about anchovies. Boring!" Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, also appeared on Rahma's series leading up to the 2024 election, where he discussed gutter maintenance. Walz's interview was posted in August 2024.
