This popular ice cream chain is closing 500 of its stores
Thrifty Ice Cream, a historic ice cream brand out of Los Angeles, will be closing 500 stores, as reported by The Street. The company launched in 1940 out of a West Hollywood factory, and then started serving it to patrons out of a Thrifty Drug Store in downtown Los Angeles. Over its 85 years of serving small batch ice cream, it's earned many accolades, countless prestigious awards and even shoutouts from Hollywood celebrities. Thrifty is known for being served out of a square-topped scooper, so the cone you are presented isn't the traditional round shape but instead hockey puck shaped (but still with the frill like the flounce of a skirt at the bottom). While waiting for your prescription at more than 500 West Coast Rite Aid pharmacies, you could get a scoop. Better yet, you could bring a container home or buy a branded cake cup from more than 2,300 grocery stores and chain stores across the U.S. But that may be about to change. Why is Thrifty closing down 500 stores? Like many retailers, Rite Aid (where the scoop shops are) is facing bankruptcy. Many drugstore chains have been underperforming and closing locations, including CVS and Walgreens, in the wake of the pandemic. When a Rite Aid with a Thrifty counter closes, the ice cream service goes down as well. Is there any hope? It's possible that the ice cream brand could be purchased along with Rite Aid assets and be revived. What are some of the unusual flavors Thrifty makes? In late October 2024, Thrifty launched a Chuck E. Cheese birthday cake flavor in collaboration with the party giant. Other wild flavors include Siracha Swirl and bacon and cheddar. Why the square scoop? Unknown, but a Food & Wine cookware tester raved about it. As someone who used to scoop for Ben & Jerry's in Vermont and ruined my wrist for a summer, this branded device looks amazing because you push it down straight into the ice cream, using your body weight, rather than trying to skim sideways. It kind of resembles a law office stapler designed to get through enormous briefs. Which celebrity loves Thrifty Ice Cream? Kourtney Kardashian Barker. Two of her favorite flavors are rainbow sherbet and butter pecan. At her fabulous Camp Poosh before Coachella, she had a little Thrifty stand on the grounds.

'Why do kids even go to school?': Kourtney Kardashian sparks uproar with bold parenting rant on Khloé's podcast
Kourtney Kardashian Barker ignited controversy on Khloe Kardashian's podcast by questioning the relevance of traditional schooling. If you thought Kourtney Kardashian Barker had run out of bold takes, think again. The reality TV star and entrepreneur stirred up a whirlwind of controversy this week—not with a beauty launch or a family feud, but with a mic-drop musing on something most people take for granted: school. On the latest episode of Khloé in Wonder Land , hosted by her sister Khloe Kardashian, the 46-year-old mom of four took a detour from conventional celebrity chatter to challenge the very foundation of childhood routine. Sitting across from Khloe, Kourtney let loose a view that quickly had the internet buzzing: 'Why do kids f**king go to school? Truly. It's so dated.' Framed as a conversation about living authentically and rejecting societal molds, Kourtney's remarks stemmed from her self-proclaimed identity as a non-conformist. 'I love to just go against the grain,' she said, casually tossing away the idea that traditional education is a necessary rite of passage. And to many people's surprise, Khloe didn't bat an eye—instead, she leaned right in. 'Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So don't even get me going,' Khloe responded enthusiastically, echoing her sister's sentiment. Together, the sisters painted a picture of a parenting style rooted in intuition and alternative choices, far removed from PTA meetings and pencil cases. Kourtney didn't stop at schooling. She pulled back the curtain on how she manages her children's health—spoiler alert: it doesn't involve a quick trip to the pharmacy. 'I will nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or Ibuprofen,' she revealed, citing her preference for a more natural, hands-on approach to caregiving. 'I just want to do that,' she added, clarifying that while the rest of the world may slowly be shifting toward similar philosophies, the U.S. still lags behind. With four kids—Mason (15), Penelope (12), Reign (10), and baby Rocky (18 months)—Kourtney is no stranger to the highs and lows of parenting. And whether you agree with her or not, it's clear she's carving her own path, even if that means rewriting the parenting playbook page by page. For a Kardashian, courting controversy is second nature—but this time, it's not about body image, brand wars, or tabloid tiffs. Kourtney's provocative pondering over the relevance of the school system may have been casually dropped mid-podcast, but its ripple effect has been anything but casual. Online reactions have ranged from applause to outrage. Some praised her for questioning outdated systems and embracing homeschooling, while others slammed the remarks as out-of-touch and Kourtney Kardashian Barker raising a flag for educational reform—or simply flexing her star-powered independence in a way only a Kardashian can? Either way, one thing is clear: she's not afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions, even if it makes the internet erupt.
