'Wait Wait Wait'—Customers Beg Haribo Not To Toss Gummies Recalled For Cannabis Contamination
Haribo Happy Cola F!ZZ gummies were recalled in the Netherlands earlier this week over cannabis contamination. Authorities tested the gummies after people reported feeling sickness and dizzy, and company immediately recalled and pulled the affected products from store shelves. Although the brand is taking this recall seriously, people here in the States don't seem to be too concerned about this particular health concern.
"Hear me out, I would 100% pay more for those…" commented one person on Delish's Instagram post.
"You say contaminated. I say blessed," commented another. "In other news, Haribo reports record earnings this quarter," joked one person.
"What is the serial number so I can assist in the investigation," one person asked. "I was wondering why I can't just eat one lol," another joked.
Comments on Facebook were equally amusing: "It is like getting the Wonka Golden Ticket!!!" exclaimed one fan.
"Runs to store to buy the whole stock," wrote another. "Thanks for letting us know!! Edibles for a dollar or two!" one person exclaimed.
"Best marketing campaign ever," one person summed up perfectly, even though the recall is, in fact, real. Luckily for the brand, people seem to be taking the news of the recall in stride, and some might even say, giving Haribo unusually *high* praise. Looks like there's a market for a whole new demographic of customers...
Your move, Haribo.

Soap made with Sydney Sweeney's used bathwater exists and now we feel so dirty
OK, which focus group asked for soap made from Sydney Sweeney's dirty bathwater? Because y'all are in trouble. In announcing the limited-edition Sydney's Bathwater Bliss product Thursday, boutique soap company Dr. Squatch said on social media that it exists because 'y'all wouldn't stop asking' for Soap á la Sweeney after the actor did a viral ad for the company last October. 'And Sydney said, 'Let's do it.' ' So whoever 'y'all' is should have to stay up late writing apologies to the rest of us. In cursive. The soap is said to smell like Sweeney's childhood homeland, the Pacific Northwest, so anyone who has a warm and innocent association with that area's pine, Douglas fir and earthy moss essence is likely to have that completely ruined. Of course, if you associate those scents with the parfum de décolleté et de parties féminines— that's some kind of French for the 'scent of cleavage and lady parts' — this soap should make perfect sense. 'Nice humiliation ritual you've got going here,' X user @AzBeto1997 tweeted Friday about the soap, which the company swears includes bathwater that has actually touched Sweeney's naked body. 'Way to demean and diminish your customer base. If it were a joke it'd be funny.' 'Weird and gross. I've enjoyed the pine tar soap for several years now, but this is goodbye. Enjoy your bath water fetishist customers,' user @MarvinOMars wrote. 'I guarantee you most straight men find the Sydney Sweeney soap thing pretty gross,' @UnderstanderArt said. 'She's not appealing to all straight men with it, but a very particular group that I want nothing to do with.' Over on Instagram, comments about the limited run of 5,000 bars of soap, on sale next week, seemed more charitable. One poster said the Dr. Squatch marketing department and Sweeney 'need an award for this. Hilarious and awesome.' 'We're not going to heaven, but this is close enough,' another wrote. 'Never will I be in a greater state of absolute bliss than whilst I use this holy concoction, in the form of a bar of soap, to rub across my body,' wrote a third. Some comments invoked the infamous bathtub scene from 'Saltburn.' Many alluded to masturbation. A lot of them were seriously hilarious. All of them suggested in their own quiet ways that the fall of Western civilization was imminent. So buy the soap, don't buy the soap, we really don't care. Remember, this is the same company that insured Nick Cannon's testicles for $10 million. Irish Spring, here we come. ___ © 2025 Los Angeles Times. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Several colorful balloon strings were seen behind the father-daughter duo, as well as a large silver cutout of the number '94.' 'He has survived many wars and many losses in his he still has a sense of humor and a strong desire to get out of bed every morning and make the most of his day,' she wrote. Madonna's second photo showed him sitting outside on patio furniture on a sunny day wearing a baseball cap, T-shirt and jeans with suspenders. 'Whenever people ask my father when he's going to retire, his answer is always the same, 'I'm going to go until the wheels fall off!!'' she concluded of the Ciccone Vineyard and Winery owner, adding, 'S.A.M.E.' "It's a shame we do not live in a world that celebrates knowledge and experience and the wisdom that we can only learn from our elders who have survived for many decades on this planet," Madonna added on Instagram, where she also shared the photos.

I'm proud of you and I know Mom is smiling and Happy wherever she is," Madonna wrote. "Thank you for giving me your zero F---- mentality! 💪🏻♥️." The 'Like a Virgin' singer is one of six children, and the only girl, born to Silvio and her late mother, Madonna Louise Ciccone. 'My mother is the only other person I have ever heard of named Madonna,' she told TIME in 1985. 'I never had trouble with the name ... I went to Catholic schools. And then when I got involved in the music industry, everybody thought I took it as a stage name. So I let them think that ... It's pretty glamorous.' Madonna Louise died of breast cancer at 30 on Dec. 1, 1963, when the singer was 5 years old. In her interview with TIME, the '4 Minutes' singer opened up about her close relationship with her father, adding, 'I knew how to wrap him around my finger." She later told Rolling Stone in 1989 that she cared about making her father proud. 'More than anything, I want my father's approval, whether I want to admit it or not," Madonna said. "But he's always been very affectionate with me.' She also shared a sweet post for her father's 93rd birthday.
