Fans are Racing to Target to Get Their Hands On This New 'Perfect Summer Treat' originally appeared on Parade. Toast is one of those complete dishes that requires nothing more than a single ingredient—high-quality bread. It exists on its own and doesn't need anything extra to be a stunning anytime meal. You can enjoy it simply slathered with butter or jam, schmeared with cream cheese, or topped with a jammy egg, avocado, and chili crisp. It can stand on its own four corners or be the base of any number of delicious creations. So, what's not to love? 😋😋🍳🍔 Whether you enjoy it as a late-night snack, as an addition to your Waffle House All-Star Special, or as the start of a sweet treat when you're feeling too lazy to bake, toast essentially makes the world go round. Of course, toast without a spread, while still incredibly good, just isn't as exciting. Not that toast is bad but any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes things need a little extra encouragement. Maybe spreads actually make the world go round instead. Yeah, that sounds more accurate. Regardless, we love toast and spreads equally, but love when the two come together just a teensy bit for those of us with a sweet tooth, Target has plenty of delectable sweet spreads that taste great on their own, on top of toast, or as a dip for fruit, and @targettrendsetter is sharing all the deets. The Favorite Day Sweet Spreads are now available at Target, and shoppers are saying, 'Those look delicious!' These sweet spreads come in three flavors—s'mores, cookies and cream, and cocoa and popcorn. Each spread stuns when spread on toast or fruit, and can even be enjoyed straight up on a spoon. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ashley • Target Trendsetter (@targettrendsetter) 13-ounce jars of these sweet spreads will set you back a meager $3.69, and we apologize in advance for clearing the shelves. We can see why fans are saying they 'Have to try these!!'

Vegemite responds to cafe's ‘criminal' toast act
There's nothing that stirs the internet more than a debate about Vegemite. This time, it's a photo of a single piece of sad, sparsely-spread Vegemite toast that's managed to rile everyone up online. The offending slice, costing $6, was posted to Reddit, where it was naturally labelled 'un-Australian,' 'a crime,' and 'an act against the Commonwealth' by hundreds of Aussies. The image showed the takeaway order, which was a thin slice of white bread with a few patchy smears of our nation's beloved condiment clinging to the surface. If there's butter on there, it's most definitely hiding, and the toasting almost seems non-existent. 'Sigh, if you can't make it, don't put it on the menu,' the poster lamented, before calling it an 'abomination'. Reddit users didn't hold back, with one joking, 'This constitutes a clear violation of the National Vegemite Act (1954, amended 1986, 2001 and 2022), Section 2.3'. Another called it 'Vegemaybe' due to the evident half-hearted effort, while others took the joke further and called it 'Vegemightnot'. Even though it looks like the cafe simply waved a jar of Vegemite near the toast and called it a day, some said that fussy Vegemite orderers are to blame, not the cafe. 'You can almost certainly blame this on that one time a customer complained that there was 'too much' Vegemite on the toast and sent it back,' pointed out one user. Then others called out the poster themselves for opting to purchase such a simple dish from a cafe in the first place. 'How hard is it to put bread in the toaster and do it yourself – what a waste of money,' one remarked. Meanwhile, a few brave people admitted they actually thought it was the perfect amount. 'Only needs more butter,' said one user. 'Looks fine to me, even tasty,' wrote someone else, as another admitted, 'That's how I like my Vegemite'. And some simply provided pragmatic responses: 'Look, I agree that it's a pathetic amount of Vegemite but cafes have to cater to the majority. A lot of people prefer just a smattering. It's always easier to add more Vegemite than remove Vegemite. Now you know their baseline, tell them you want more next time,' said one. With the nation's breakfast pride at stake, reached out to the true authority: Vegemite itself. 'At Vegemite, we know that how you enjoy your toast is a deeply personal thing – whether it's a whisper-thin layer or a bold, generous spread, we don't judge!' the brand said. 'Everyone has their own perfect ratio.' It also noted that if you're ever unsure when eating out, asking for your Vegemite on the side is a 'great way to get it just right'. 'Or, for the truly devoted, keeping a personal stash on hand or in the glove box of your car isn't the worst idea – desperate times call for delicious measures!'

‘Ew': Aussies horrified over ‘mysterious' find in Vegemite
A Melbourne shopper's disappointment over their morning toast has sparked both a corporate investigation and a wave of online banter after they claimed to have received a jar of Vegemite with a mysterious fingerprint in it. Posting to r/melbourne, the user shared a photo of the jar with its lid unscrewed, revealing what appears to be an imprint embedded in the spread. 'Was really looking forward to some Vegemite on toast,' the post was captioned. ' Woolies just dropped off my order, and the Vegemite opened a little too easily with the ring intact … I looked in thinking it would be fine and there's a fingerprint!' the person continued. However, they obviously weren't too upset by it, as they jokingly added: 'Obviously, it will be taken to the police for fingerprint analysis immediately, I can't let a crime like this go unpunished'. 'Now I have to have strawberry jam on toast, and that's just not the same,' the post concluded. Commenters weighed in The post's tongue-in-cheek tone did leave a few commenters confused, with one asking, 'Is this real?' and another declaring it 'fake news'. But the original poster insisted it was real, prompting a variety of commenters to weigh in on what they'd do in that situation. Half admitted they'd probably eat it anyway. 'There's enough salt in there to kill any germs I reckon,' claimed one. 'Get into it,' urged another. 'It's extra flavour,' joked a third person, while a fourth advised the user to 'just scrape off the top layer,' and someone else said, 'there's worse things than fingerprints when you go out and eat'. However, others were horrified: 'I wouldn't eat it, it's kind of gross and you don't know what else they've done with it,' said one. 'Ew, get your money back,' someone else urged. The original poster then updated the thread, saying they strongly believe this was a product defect, as 'upon returning to the store, two out of three jars I bought, the lids just came off without any effort, and one had marks in it already'. They also mentioned that they reported this to Woolworths, Vegemite, and the ACCC. Vegemite responds Vegemite shared a statement with that read: 'We are in contact with the author of a recent post shared by a Melbourne Reddit user concerning a jar of Vegemite which they believed to have been tampered with. We take such matters seriously and are committed to ensuring the safety and quality of our products. 'There is no evidence to suggest a widespread problem. We are actively investigating the case and remain dedicated to upholding the high standards that Vegemite is known for.'

It Takes Guts To Seek Glory. Tips for Talking From Pulpit or Podium
As someone who helps other people communicate more effectively, I have had the privilege over the years to guide leaders in a wide array of professions on how to connect best with their audiences. As a Catholic, I have been inspired over the years when many of the priests in my parish have asked for and been open to coaching regarding their sermons. That takes guts. Upon reflection, I realize that much of that guidance is applicable to a broad array of business audiences as well. Here are some thoughts I have shared with my local priests that I thought you might find helpful in your business communication. In 2023, the first of my four children got married. It was a wonderful event. My daughter and her now husband had been together for eight years, so I had plenty of time to work on the wedding toast. It meant a lot to me to get this speech right. After my toast, one of my brothers-in-law whom I greatly respect, approached me and said, 'GREAT speech.' I swelled with pride…for about three seconds. Then he added, '7 ½ minutes! Great speech!' His priority, rightly so, was, 'Say something nice and let us get back to partying.' When you're delivering a talk at a business function, always ask yourself, 'Am I sharing this because it's relevant or helpful, or because I have the stage and love the sound of my own voice?' When you are a leader, you often have a relatively captive audience. Since they are captive, your job is to captivate them, not hold them hostage. Keep it short. The same is true every time someone uses their own business jargon in a presentation. Whether we are in operations, finance, marketing, or HR, we all get sucked into our own jargon, and assume everyone else speaks our language. They don't. Share your content from your audience's perspective. That's not, 'dumbing it down.' Instead, that's being smart enough to make your complex ideas understandable to everyone. Whenever you are about to use any term that could even remotely be considered jargon, specific to your niche of expertise, use 'preface language,' that highlights that you know the term you are using may not be known to all. Say: 'This is what's called….' 'This is what's known as….' 'What we refer to as….' When you use 'preface language,' you're saying, 'I know this is jargon.' You are telling your audience members who are familiar with the lingo that you, too, are an expert in this field. And you're telling those who are new to the topic that you won't leave them in the lurch but will keep them in the conversation. It keeps those less informed audience members engaged because they feel secure that you are addressing them as well and are going to explain things in a way they can understand. Using preface language is not just effective communicating; it's simply the nice thing to do. 'Nice' goes a long way with any audience. The same is true in a corporate setting. Instead of regurgitating our organization's mission statement or sharing our team's agreed set of values, tell me how I am supposed to act differently because of our mission or values. Make it real. If one of our values is 'Integrity,' tell me what acting with integrity means when I respond to a client's request for a quote, when I miss a deadline, or when I have to acknowledge that our initiative didn't meet the targets we set out. If one of our values is being inclusive, suggest that I ask everyone for their opinion on a matter before sharing my own perspective as the team leader. If we say we value accountability, show me how our promises to help each other succeed were actually carried out. We all need direction, in this life and toward the hereafter. Setting the stage with soaring rhetoric is great, but is more impactful if conveyed with a few specifics to add to this afternoon's To Do list. I've always admired the humility and bravery of my local clergy who have asked for advice on how to connect better with the congregation. They're living their stated values. I've always valued the eagerness and openness of my corporate clients to feedback on their content and delivery. For all of us, whether we are preaching eternal truths or pushing the latest company initiative, it's important to keep it short, keep it simple, and keep it attainable.
