Costco Members Say This Popular Frozen Food Tastes Just Like Little Caesars' Pepperoni Crazy Puffs
Seemingly by accident, Costco shoppers have discovered yet another delicious dupe. On Reddit this week, a fan of the warehouse hopped on the website to rave about The Pizza Cupcake, a savory item that can be found in the frozen foods section at Costco. In their post, they admitted that the snack was "pretty tasty." And if The Pizza Cupcake sounds familiar that's likely because the frozen food made its television debut on the reality competition show, Shark Tank. On the show, the creators of The Pizza Cupcake were able to successfully secure an investment from Lori Greiner. Related: Despite this TV fame, in the comments section of the Reddit post, The Pizza Cupcake received plenty of comparisons to Little Caesars' fan-favorite Pepperoni Crazy Puffs. The puffs, which come four-per-order, are hand-held pizzas with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and pizza sauce topped with a buttery-garlic flavored drizzle, Italian herb and parmesan seasoning. One person pointed out that given the cost of The Pizza Cupcakes, Little Caesars might be the better option given that they're freshly-made. "12 for 11.89 puts them at $1/unit. Little Caesar's sells them for the same price and they are fresh made," they wrote. And there were plenty of other comments referencing Little Caesars. Related: "Im more blown away by that price lol so its essentially Little Caesars pizza puffs but only 11 cents cheaper for the same count??" read one comment. "Lil Caesar makes them now," another person chimed in. There was one person who flat out stated that the The Pizza Cupcake is "not worth it." Would you be willing to give The Pizza Cupcake a shot or are you sticking with Little Caesars Pepperoni Crazy Puffs?

Shark Tank star Lori Greiner issues stark safety warning when it comes to money
Shark Tank star Lori Greiner has issued a stark safety warning to her millions of social media followers. The information was shared in a new video posted to TikTok this week, where Greiner often creates videos offering not only tips on safety but also about managing money and business pointers. In the new clip, Greiner - who has a net worth of $150 million - explained why you should never pick up money that you find lying on the street, even if it seems like it is a harmless act. 'Never pick up money or objects on the ground that don't belong to you,' the entrepreneur began the video. 'It's been found that criminals are using dollar bills folded up on the ground laced with chemicals that can hurt you,' she claimed. 'So leave that money right where you see it, and warn your kids, family members and friends not to pick up any money on the ground or in the streets,' the Invent It, Sell It, Bank It author concluded. And, it looks like Greiner may be on to something. In June 2022, the Perry County Sheriff's Office in Tennessee warned their citizens not to pick up dollar bills from the ground, as they could contain fentanyl, per NBC News. 'Never pick up money or objects on the ground that don't belong to you,' the entrepreneur began the video They issued the warning after two separate incidents had occurred where people had found a 'white powdery substance' on dollar bills. When they tested the powder, it came back positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl, according to the outlet. Of course, these drugs can be deadly when you ingest them, but per KRQE News, you cannot overdose just by touching them. UC Davis Health reported that you 'can't overdose on fentanyl by touching a doorknob or dollar bill.' Still, it's important to be extremely cautious. However, in the comments section of Greiner's video, many users joked that they were too broke to pass up any cash on the street they may find on the street these days. 'Look, we're broke. I'm picking up all the money and hoping for the best,' one person wrote. Another agreed, 'I found a $50 bill on the street and spent it on Hawaiian food. I'm too broke to worry about chemicals when a plate lunch is on the line.' 'In this economy I'm picking up half eaten apples,' someone else typed. This isn't the first safety pointer that Greiner has put out in recent weeks, either. Earlier this month, she warned her followers against accepting food or drinks from strangers. She stressed that this was especially important when it came to Uber or other rideshares.
