A First-Of-Its-Kind Snack In The U.S. Is Set To Disrupt The Industry
3PM Afternoon Bites is a new product that seeks to disrupt the snacking industry, offering the ... More benefits of a healthy energy boost.
You know that story. It's mid-afternoon and you've had enough coffee to fuel a rocket ship, yet you are so tired that you cannot focus on anything, much less on your work tasks. A company from San Antonio, Texas is sending reinforcements to fight the afternoon slump with a new type of snack, 3pm AFTERNOON BITES™.
The first-of-its-kind in the U.S., these tasty cookies contain postbiotics and their groundbreaking health benefits, designed to help overcome the dreaded drop of energy during the workday. Rather than pump yourself up with coffee or energy drinks, the idea behind 3pm AFTERNOON BITES is that you can get that same energy boost from a delicious, better-for-you snack.
'Too often, better-for-you snacks disappoint on taste or fall short on clean nutrition," says 3pm, LLC CEO, Eduardo Domínguez. "With 3pm AFTERNOON BITES™, we set out to do better by crafting a soft-baked cookie that feels homemade, tastes great, and delivers real functional benefits. It's the best of both worlds, and we believe consumers will notice.'
This innovative product is poised to disrupt the $53 billion snack industry and offer a new standard for functional snacks that actually taste great.
Postbiotics are bioactive compounds which are gaining recognition for their broad range of science-backed benefits. Studies have shown that postbiotics can provide lasting benefits including year-round immune support to help maintain productivity and performance.
Unlike probiotics, which can be sensitive to temperature and time, postbiotics are stable at room temperature, making them easier to store and more reliable for consumers. This added stability ensures that the health benefits remain consistent and effective from the moment the product is manufactured until it is consumed, offering a level of convenience and reliability that traditional probiotics cannot match.
3PM Afternoon Bites are soft-baked cookie that feel homemade and taste great.
3pm AFTERNOON BITES™ is also a good source of protein and fiber, and contains low added sugar, fat and sodium. It contains plant-based ingredients, protein, and IMMUSE® LC-Plasmapostbiotic, a non-GMO, allergen-free, vegetarian dietary supplement discovered by Kyowa Hakko's parent company Kirin Holdings Co., Ltd.
'3pm AFTERNOON BITES™ is more than just another better-for-you snack. It is a wellness-driven brand helping people through innovative products, community efforts, and partnerships that promote balance and wellbeing', says Domínguez. 'We believe healthy living should feel natural, supportive, and delicious."
The cookies are available in two varieties - Cranberry/Flaxseed and Dark Chocolate/Almond – and retail starting at $4.98 for the box of five cookies, with a product line expansion expected as early as Fall 2025. They are currently available at select H.E.B stores in Texas and through the grocery store's website, but the company is aiming for nationwide availability in 2026.

2024 Lexus GX 550 Road Trip Review: 1,000 Miles of Comfort and Annoying Driver Tech
The rest of it Fuel economy was disappointing considering the amount of time spent on the highway. On this trip, we achieved the best average to date: 19.7 mpg. Remember, the GX is rated at 17 mpg combined (15 city/21 highway). The turning radius was amazing. I could flip a U-turn on most residential streets in my area. This must help a lot with maneuvering off-road, but I kept on pavement this time. That said, our team will be sure to bring the Overtail off-road over the course of our yearlong test. The pop-out cargo area window was a feature I didn't realize I needed until I had it. Three one-gallon jugs of water got pinned against the cargo hatch door when I wasn't looking. Had I not opened the window first for a peek, it could've been trouble when I opened the hatch door. I should add that at 6 feet tall, the window is a perfect height for me. I could see it being less useful for shorter humans. Finally, two oddities. First, I was in a drive-thru and the front proximity sensor chimed an alert, then stopped, then repeated five or six times. The distance shouldn't have triggered the sensor to begin with, and considering that the car was stationary during the freakout left me scratching my head. Second, there was a water drainage quirk. The GX roof drainage rail lines up in such a way that, when I opened the rear door and reached inside, a stream of cold morning dew dripped down the back of my neck. When I wasn't blocking its path, the water flowed right onto the carpet. That shouldn't happen.

Worcester street renamed to honor teen who died after "One Chip Challenge"
A street in Worcester has been renamed in honor of a 14-year-old boy who died in 2023 after eating a spicy chip as part of a social media challenge. The "One Chip Challenge" In 2023, Paqui's "One Chip Challenge" hit social media, encouraging fans to try their super spicy chip. The single wrapped chip came in a box labeled "Carolina Reaper" and "Naga Viper Pepper." Harris Wolobah was a sophomore at Doherty High School when a friend gave him the chip in September 2023. Harris fainted after eating the chip, and the school nurse called his parents. His parents said Harris fainted again that night, and they rushed him to the hospital, where he died. Paqui pulled the chips from the shelves after Harris's death. An autopsy revealed Harris died of cardiopulmonary arrest "in the setting of recent ingestion of a food substance with high capsaicin concentration." The medical examiner also found Harris had an enlarged heart and a congenital heart defect. In 2024, Harris's family sued Paqui, also naming Hershey and Walgreens in the lawsuit. Honoring "a young man's spirit" "Today is not just about a name; it is about a young man's spirit. It is about the light he brought to those around him. To the children of Worcester who walk these streets, let Harris's name be a reminder that you matter, your life matters," said Harris's mother, Lois Wolobah. Shore Drive will also be known as Harris Thompson Wolobah Way. The sign was unveiled at the corner of Shore Drive and South Frontage Road, in front of the YMCA, where Harris spent a lot of his time playing basketball.
