In love with the shape of you: A culinary tribute
Potatoes, in all their forms—from straight-cut fries to shoestring fries, steak fries to waffle fries—hold a special place in our hearts and kitchens. When Pubity, the London-based culture and entertainment platform conducted a poll on 'Greatest Vegetable of All Time', it was predictable that potato will win the race. 'Our fans voted Potato as the 'Greatest Vegetable of All Time' in a 76% vs 24% decision over Garlic,' they wrote announcing the winner. 'Potato is the most versatile root vegetable, it can be used in millions of ways. Yet it delivers different taste and flavour when fused with different ingredients. Not just that, potatoes are often linked to a 'feel-good' factor due to their high starch content and the way they impact serotonin production, a neurotransmitter associated with mood and well-being,' says chef Reetu Uday Kugaji. So no matter what shape and size a potato is, it can uplift your mood in no time. Here are some best pairings to keep in mind: Straight-cut fries: The traditional, uniform fries—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Pair them with burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, or classic fish and chips for a traditional combo. Shoestring fries: Ultra-thin and crispy, these fries cook quickly and are perfect for topping dishes or snacking. Serve alongside sliders, grilled cheese sandwiches, or crispy chicken tenders for a delightful contrast in textures Steak fries: Thick-cut wedges with a hearty bite, ideal for dipping in sauces. Complement with hearty dishes like steak, grilled sausages, or a classic club sandwich. Crinkle-cut fries: Wavy, ridged fries that hold sauces well and offer a satisfying crunch. Pair with crispy chicken sandwiches, burgers, or a classic hot dog for a nostalgic meal. Waffle fries: Lattice-patterned fries that maximize surface area, making them excellent for dipping. Great with grilled chicken wraps, barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, or a veggie burger. Curly fries: Spiral-cut fries seasoned with a blend of spices, offering a fun and flavourful twist. Serve with spicy chicken wings, grilled shrimp, or a classic cheeseburger for a flavourful meal. Tornado fries: Potato slices twisted into a spiral on a skewer, deep-fried for a crispy snack. Pair with spicy grilled chicken, barbecue ribs, or a hearty steak for an exciting twist. Pommes soufflées: Double-fried slices that puff up into delicate, airy balloons. Ideal with gourmet dishes like duck confit, filet mignon, or a delicate seafood platter. Tater tots: Grated potatoes formed into small cylinders, deep-fried to golden perfection. Perfect with chili, scrambled eggs, or a hearty breakfast burrito. Inputs from chef Nishant Choubey

Swedish mom fined over TikTok egg prank after court rules it harassment toward daughter
A Swedish woman has been convicted of harassment and ordered to pay damages to her daughter after a viral TikTok prank backfired. As reported by Pubity, the 24-year-old mother from Helsingborg cracked an egg on her daughter's head in 2023, participating in a widespread TikTok trend at the time. The case stems from a once-popular internet prank that gained traction among parents on TikTok. Typically carried out during baking sessions, the prank involves parents pretending to crack an egg into a bowl, only to unexpectedly break it on their child's head. The video, which was shared publicly on TikTok, caught the attention of a viewer who reported it to the police. Authorities launched an investigation that ultimately led to the mother being charged with harassment. In 2025, the Helsingborg District Court found her guilty and ordered her to pay her daughter SEK 20,000—equivalent to approximately $2,055 USD. Prosecutor Cecilia Andersson, speaking to reporters, argued that the act was 'degrading' and that the mother had acted recklessly by broadcasting the incident for online attention. 'It's a little girl who thinks she's going to bake an apple cake with her mom... then all of a sudden, she gets an egg cracked in her forehead,' Andersson said. 'This is a reckless act.' Despite defending herself in court by saying she was simply joining in on a viral trend—'Everyone was doing it,' she claimed—the court did not accept the justification. The case has sparked renewed discussions around the ethical boundaries of online content involving children, especially when it involves public humiliation for the sake of social media virality. The incident serves as a cautionary tale for parents and content creators alike, highlighting the real-world consequences of participating in online trends without considering the potential legal and emotional impact.

'I just don't think it's very wise for John Cena. You know, a lot of things have changed since SummerSlam. I know this is his farewell tour, his last year, and everyone is celebrating the last year of John Cena.' 'But if he wants to make it to the end of that year—or even the end of this run—he probably should just stay away from me. I wouldn't want to face me if I was him. If I was 47 years old, I would not want to face me.' Bron Breakker looks back on his viral moment with IShowSpeed at WWE Royal Rumble.

It's a [moment] him and I will probably remember for a long time for different reasons.' Breakker continued, 'Everyone was aware of where we were going to go with that segment. But some of that stuff, you can't teach or go over or rehearse or none of that. Sometimes you just gotta let people go. And that was one of those scenarios where you just have to let talent go be talent and go and execute. The objective was to have a viral moment, to have a moment that gets out there and people talk about and we did that.'
