Breast milk-flavoured ice cream stirs curiosity in Brooklyn as New Yorkers queue for a taste
(Also read: Video of man feeding baby raw milk from cow's udder sparks outrage: 'Different level of human stupidity')
The flavour is not made from actual human milk. Instead, it contains liposomal bovine colostrum, a dietary supplement found in breast milk, giving the dessert a familiar yet surprising profile. According to a report by the New York Post, the flavour is part of a collaboration with Frida, a company known for its parenting products. Only 50 free scoops are served daily, attracting a crowd of curious New Yorkers.
Charlene Rymsha of Mammoth Lake, California, visited the shop by chance while on her way to catch the Rockaway Beach ferry. 'I was breastfed by my mother from 1974 to about 1978 and a half, but I certainly do not remember that, so it still emotionally and mentally surprised me,' she shared with the NY Post.
Public reactions: From poetic to puzzled
Dale Kaplan, 61, was less impressed by the flavour. 'Isn't all ice cream breast milk? Doesn't all ice cream come from the udders of a cow?' she remarked. 'It just seems like a different word for the same thing. But I love the concept. It is a tribute to maternity and to cows, and how much they give to us.'
Dale W., another customer, walked more than a mile for her first taste of anything resembling breast milk. She said it had a "vanilla-ish" flavour and expected it to be more intense. New mum Adi Barnea, visiting with her four-month-old son, Tom, noted it tasted more like mango than breast milk. 'This is high-quality stuff. I think this one wins,' she admitted.
Sweet surprise over scepticism
Zach De Santis-Salavarria anticipated a salty taste but found the scoop unexpectedly sweet. 'It is kind of like cake batter,' he said.

‘Wipe It': Woman Humiliated After Makeup Blocks Facial Scanner At Shanghai Airport
Last Updated: Shanghai airport's facial recognition scanners failed to identify a woman, who was later told to remove her makeup for an exact match on the passport photo. In the most bizarre incident, a Chinese woman was forced to wipe off her makeup at a Shanghai airport after authorities observed a facial recognition failure. According to a report by the New York Post, as the facial recognition scanners failed to identify the woman, she was asked to remove the makeup she was carrying for an accurate match on her passport. The humiliated passenger had to scrub off all her makeup in front of airport officials before she could be given a go-ahead signal. Originally posted on Chinese social media, the video of the woman was shared in India by a popular Instagram handle. In the clip, the embarrassed traveller is seen cleaning her face with wipes, while one of the airport workers scolds her from behind for the default. Humiliated Traveller Forced To Scrub Makeup At Airport 'Wipe everything off until you look like your passport photo. Why would you do your makeup like that? You are asking for trouble," the alleged employee demands, according to the New York Post report, forcing the woman to immediately take her makeup off so that she can be identified. The infamous clip is from May, when this lady was caught on camera using wipes to scrub off all her makeup while carrying a look of great disgust and disappointment with the authorities, who strictly imposed the airport guidelines on her and tried to get an exact match of the passport photo. How The Internet Reacted To The Incident The infamous clip racked up thousands of views and a flood of mixed comments on the internet. While some sympathised with the woman, others criticised her for wearing excessive cosmetics, which the airport machinery didn't approve of. 'She was already wiping her makeup off and was embarrassed enough. There was no need for you to keep going on like some naggy boomer," said one user, slamming the airport worker scolding her in the video. Someone else agreed, 'Poor girl should not be laughed at. The guard hurt her feelings. Not nice and not funny." 'This is cosplay. Not just regular makeup," said a less sympathetic user. 'It's not like she was able to walk around with a filter on in real life, right?" quipped another. Whether the woman was eventually cleared through the security is not known. But the airport scanner certainly didn't approve of her contouring, leading to dramatic scenes that could've easily been avoided.

Another billionaire to visit Titanic wreck 2 years after Oceangate tragedy: ‘You'll recognise the name'
The lore of the Titanic has fascinated millions of people for decades. Its lure has drawn explorers to the depths of the ocean as they seek to unravel the mysteries of the legendary 1912 shipwreck. Its story has been immortalized on the big screen in one of the memorable movies of our times. The wreck of the Titanic lies 12,500 feet below the North Atlantic Ocean (Facebook/@tritonsubs) The endless fascination with the Titanic is such that two years after the Oceangate tragedy, one billionaire is planning an expedition to the wreck that lies 12,500 feet below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean. What was the Oceangate tragedy? The Oceangate tragedy unfolded in June 2023 when the company's Titan submersible imploded during a dive to the Titanic wreck, claiming five lives. The victims included Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush, British businessman Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet. The disaster sparked global scrutiny over deep-sea tourism and the safety standards of privately run expeditions. Another expedition to Titanic? Since the Oceangate tragedy, the wreck of the Titanic has remained off limits to explorers and deep sea divers. That has done little to diminish its appeal. Now, speculation is rife that another private expedition to the Titanic wreck is in the works. Details, however, have been kept under wraps, according to a report in the New York Post. The expedition will include a billionaire whose name has not been revealed, but is apparently recognisable. 'I heard that somebody is going down to the Titanic in a couple weeks,' a source told The Post. 'What I can tell you is that it's a billionaire. Going down there will cost $10 million. You would recognize his name.' The source refused to divulge the billionaire's name, saying: 'He'll want to make an announcement that he is the first person to go to the Titanic since the tragedy.' The Titanic fascination What is it about a shipwreck that has fascinated millions for more than a century? 'Besides it being a wreck of historical significance, the fact that it lies at such great depth makes it fascinating to visit,' Patrick Lahey, CEO of Triton Submarines, told The Post. 'Titanic is a wreck that's covered in marine life and soft coral. People want to go there for the same reason that they want to climb Mount Everest.'
