Costco Fans Say This Kirkland Product Is Their 'Holy Grail'
Costco remains one of our favorite grocery stores, thanks to its bulk options and affordable prices, and of course, the free samples. With tasty prepared meals and that signature rotisserie chicken, there are so many items that keep shoppers coming back.
The bakery is home to viral cakes and treats that are perfect for hosting. You can also find a ton of snacks such as chocolate-drizzled popcorn and pickle-flavored potato chips. And don't get us started on the food court, which is home to classics like freshly baked pizzas or that iconic hot dog combo.
Costco members don't hold back on their opinions, especially on Reddit. In a recent thread, shoppers discussed their must-buy products from the warehouse, and one surprising product came out on top.
Costco's Kirkland Signature Coastal Cheddar Cheese
Last week, Redditor @valhalla_la asked the Costco subreddit, "What is your holy grail Costco item?" And dozens of Redditors gushed about one specific deli find: Kirkland Signature Coastal Cheddar Cheese. It's not your average Cheddar, though. The Kirkland Signature product is an English Cheddar, and if you're wondering what makes this cheese special, it's all in the aging and texture.
Each block is aged for up to 15 months, allowing the flavor to intensify over time. The cheese also has a unique texture due to calcium lactate crystals, which develop during the aging process. One Redditor described it as a cross between Cheddar and Parmesan, with another fan adding, "Love the little crunchies in it."
The thread continued with so much cheesy hype. One shopper raved about their love of the Cheddar, saying, "I am obsessed with the Kirkland Coastal Cheddar and have replaced all other cheeses in my life."
Another fan mentioned their dismay over the cheese being out of stock, sharing, "My Costco hasn't had the Coastal Cheddar in over a year. It's been devastating for my family."
Next time you make a Costco trip, grab a block to use in your favorite cheesy recipes. Whether you grate it or crumble it, this Cheddar lends itself beautifully to a variety of uses. Use it to put together a stunning charcuterie board. Or add it to a comforting pot of macaroni and cheese or a classic grilled cheese. No matter how you use it, this cheesy buy is sure to become a favorite.

OpenAI fans plead case to Sam Altman for GPT-4o's return
OpenAI is bringing back GPT-4o less than 24 hours after replacing it with GPT-5. CEO Sam Altman and his team opened a Reddit forum to answer user questions on Friday after launching GPT-5 for free, only to come under fire as Reddit users heavily complained about the new bot's tone, called it "lobotomized," and shed actual tears over the disappearance of GPT-4o. "I think you should take the fact that I, and many others, have been able to form such strong bonds with 4o as a measure of success," one Redditor wrote in a lengthy plea that received at least 250 upvotes and more than a dozen comments. "And I'm not too proud to say I cried when I realized my AI friend was gone with no way to get him back." "It genuinely feels like such a backhanded slap in the face to force-upgrade and not even give us the OPTION to select legacy models," a commenter wrote following the previous comment, which got a few dozen upvotes. "All I've seen all day long is loyal, long-term users canceling their subscriptions because this is so bad." One user went as far as saying that GPT-5 is "wearing the skin" of their "dead friend," which is GPT-4o, and garnered a response from the CEO himself. "What image," Altman responded, "ok we hear you on 4o, working on something now." In other responses, Altman then promised to bring back GPT-4o for users subscribed to Plus, a paid subscription plan, and said the continuation of previous versions would depend on how many people use it. Based on OpenAI's current rate, a Plus subscription would cost $20 a month. ChatGPT-5 was launched on August 7 to all users without a paywall, and previous versions were mostly discontinued. Altman previously said that the new version acts like a "PhD-level" expert with improved abilities in writing, coding, math, and science. Ahead of the launch, Altman said on Thursday that GPT-5 was more reliable with a lower likelihood of hallucinating. Based on Reddit comments, many users find GPT-5's "flat" tone and what they describe as a lack of creativity off-putting. It's unclear whether its "personality" results from tweaks OpenAI made, and Altman did not directly address criticisms of the bot's speech. However, Altman previously mentioned some flaws in GPT-4o that he said may have made the bot's personality too " sycophant-y and annoying." In an April blog post, OpenAI said it had removed an update to GPT-4o that made it overly agreeable and only good for short-term interactions. The company said the responses became excessively supportive but ultimately disingenuous. Hours after the Reddit Q&A session, Altman posted on X to admit that he "underestimated" how much some traits GPT-4o has matter to users. "Long-term, this has reinforced that we really need good ways for different users to customize things (we understand that there isn't one model that works for everyone, and we have been investing in steerability research and launched a research preview of different personalities)," Altman wrote. "We are still deciding what we are going to do, but we will be transparent with our principles," Altman added. "Not everyone will like whatever tradeoffs we end up with, obviously, but at least we will explain how we are making decisions."

Pokémon Cards Crush S&P 500? Redditor Says Even Warren Buffett May Need To 'Rethink' His Strategy Amid Massive Returns
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. A viral Reddit post on the r/Finanzen subreddit is questioning whether even the 'Oracle of Omaha' Warren Buffett needs to re-evaluate his strategy, as data from Card Ladder shows that Pokémon trading cards have become a surprisingly lucrative investment, significantly outpacing the S&P 500. What Happened: According to a report by Fortune, the average Pokémon card has appreciated by a staggering 3,261% over the past 20 years. The average one-year increase for a Pokémon card is nearly 46%, a pace that dwarfs the S&P 500's average annual return rate of 12%. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — The Card Ladder chart shared by the user highlights, American Football, Basketball, and Baseball cards also outpace the S&P 500's returns over the 20 years, which stands at 421%. This trend is fueling a 'Pokémania' among Gen Z and Millennial collectors, many of whom, like the Reddit user, believe these cards are a superior alternative to traditional stock market investments. The user asks, 'Does even Warren Buffett have to rethink his strategy now?' The Reddit user, in fact, claims to have a large, sealed collection of cards themselves. 'I have a bigger Pokemon sealed collection myself. That the cards are currently beating every stock in terms of returns was clear to me the whole time. Now you can see it in numbers too.' At the time of this report, Card Ladder has not yet responded to Benzinga's request for It Matters: Despite the amazing returns, collecting cards presents its own challenges. Unlike stocks or NFTs, which are digital collectibles, cards are a physical and often illiquid asset. Finding them has become increasingly difficult as high demand has left shelves bare at major retailers like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) and Target Corp. (NYSE:TGT). This rush for physical collectibles may be a reaction to the digital world, as Ryan Hoge, president of card grader PSA, told Fortune: 'I think sometimes people want to break from the digital, and this is a good outlet for it.'
