Gas station spin on classic Italian dessert goes viral: 'Road trip luxury'
Print Close By Deirdre Bardolf Published July 28, 2025 A budget-friendly recipe is going viral for channeling an Italian delicacy with just two ingredients that can be found at most roadside rest stops: coffee and an ice-cream sandwich. "It's July and you know what that means: It's gas station affogato season," New York-based travel expert and television host Samantha Brown recently posted on social media. An affogato, which means "drowned" in English, is typically served with fresh espresso poured over vanilla ice cream. But Brown, host of the PBS show "Places to Love," was forced to improvise while on a recent road trip stateside. VIRAL 'CLOUD COFFEE' TREND CAN BOOST HEALTH WITH UNUSUAL INGREDIENT: HOW TO MAKE IT "You're seeing everyone in Italy, Positano, the Amalfi Coast, but you're at a Gulf station off the [Massachusetts Turnpike]," she said. To make the experience "fancy," she grabbed a cup of black coffee and an ice-cream sandwich from the gas station. With her ingredients resting on top of an air pump, Brown dunks the frozen treat into the cup and takes a big bite. "Delicious," the mom of two exclaims. "Back in the car," she adds. VIRAL COSTCO COOKIE BLENDS CHILDHOOD FAVORITES INTO ONE: 'OUT OF THIS WORLD' The dessert "blends a high-brow treat with the realities of an American road trip," Brown said on Instagram and TikTok, where her videos had gotten over 3.1 million views and counting. Many followers commented that they loved the relatable tip. "A little road trip luxury," one woman said on Instagram. "Got to love that!"

"As someone who's crushed I couldn't go to Italy this summer, this is priceless," a TikToker commented. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Brown said she prefers to enjoy the snack with the most basic ice-cream sandwich: the kind wrapped in paper. "I don't use a Klondike bar or a Chipwich," she told "It's the quintessential ice-cream sandwich." The idea came to Brown while on a road trip years ago with her two young children. She had a hankering for coffee-flavored ice cream, but there was none to be found. For more Lifestyle articles, visit "So I was like, 'Wait a minute, why don't I make my own?'" she said.

The 51-year-old supermodel and SMiZE & DREAM ice cream entrepreneur got candid about her bedroom eating habits while guest co-hosting Today with Jenna & Friends on Monday, July 28. Sharing she likes to watch TV in bed with her mom, Carolyn London, Banks said, 'Hanging in bed. We do ice cream in bed. We do popcorn.' When co-host Jenna Bush Hager said she doesn't like snacking in bed because of the crumbs, Banks replied, 'Yes, but the great thing is then a couple days later…' 'No, you do not!' Bush Hager, 43, replied, shocked. 'A couple days later you get down there and…' 'I do! And you know, Jenna, I clean crumbs by eating them,' Banks insisted. 'Because if you put it in the trash, it's gonna get roaches or something. So you just clean it up with your finger. Or you just eat it.' When Bush Hager asked about the crumbs on the ground, Banks replied, 'If it's on your ground! That's your feet. I have a no shoe rule in my home so I can eat off my floor. No, but I'm serious, I do that. But then I see my son doing it and I'm like, 'Don't do that!' And he's like, 'But you do it.'

When Bush Hager asked if Banks would eat food a week later, she answered, 'Yeah, if I knew it was mine in my bed, yeah.' Bush Hager appeared baffled by the confession, simply replying, 'Oh my god, Tyra,' before cutting to commercial. Read the original article on People

Popular Ice Cream Sold at Walmart and Dollar Tree Recalled for Undeclared Allergen
Here's what to look for. From a food safety perspective, July has not been the best month for ice cream. Shortly after an unrelated recall for listeria contamination, Tropicale Foods recalled many of its Helados Mexico and La Michoacana ice cream products. This recall affects ice cream treats sold in Walmart locations in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as well as products sold at Dollar Tree stores. (It may affect ice cream sold at other stores, too, but we're still working to confirm that.)Ice Cream Recall Product Name: La Michoacana and Helados Mexico paletas and frozen treats Date of Recall: July 25, 2025 Distribution: NationwideWhat Caused the Recall? Tropicale Foods had to recall its frozen treats because the labels didn't say that the product contained milk. Because milk is one of the eight foods that cause 90% of allergic reactions, this kind of labeling error could have scary consequences. So far, one consumer has reported an illness related to this undeclared allergen. The company reviewed all of its product labels and discovered 14 products that contained cream but didn't declare milk as an allergen on the label. You can imagine how a labeling error like this could lead to serious issues for someone with a milk allergy, intolerance, or sensitivity. How To Identify the Recalled Ice Cream The recall announcement shared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) lists the following products, UPCs, and best by dates. La Michoacana Coconut (Single Serve Paleta 3.75 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑00001‑3 Best By: 10/3/2026 – 5/3/2027 La Michoacana Strawberry (Single Serve Paleta 3.75 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑00002‑0 Best By: 10/1/2026 – 5/16/2027 La Michoacana Mango (Single Serve Paleta 3.75 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑00008‑2 Best By: 2/3/2027 – 4/8/2027 La Michoacana Bubble Gum (Single Serve Paleta 3.75 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑00003‑7 Best By: 4/7/2027 – 4/19/2027 La Michoacana Cookies 'N Cream (Single Serve Paleta 3.75 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑00007‑5 Best By: 4/9/2027 – 4/11/2027 La Michoacana Coconut Con Crema (6‑Pack, 16.5 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑00101‑0 Best By: 11/25/2026 – 4/12/2027 La Michoacana Strawberry Con Crema (6‑Pack, 16.5 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑00102‑7 Best By: 6/3/2026 – 6/17/2027 La Michoacana Minis Variety Paletas (12‑Count, 16.5 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑03042‑3 Best By: 9/9/2026 – 4/12/2027 La Michoacana Variety Paletas (16‑Count, 44 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑03100‑0 Best By: 3/14/2027 and 3/16/2027 La Michoacana Rompope Bolis (6‑Count, 24 ounces) UPC: 7‑67778‑05004‑9 Best By: 4/24/2027 – 7/14/2027 Helados Mexico Minis Variety Paletas (12‑Count, 18 ounces) UPC: 6‑82082‑11215‑6 Best By: 5/29/2026 – 6/24/2027 Helados Mexico Minis Variety Paletas (Dollar Tree version, 12‑Count, 18 ounces) UPC: 6‑82082‑61215‑1 Best By: 12/31/2026 – 5/2/2027 Helados Mexico Choco‑Dipped Minis Variety Paletas (12‑Count, 18 ounces) UPC: 6‑82082‑41215‑7 Best By: 12/17/2026 – 6/15/2027 Helados Mexico Choco‑Dipped Minis Variety Paletas (Dollar Tree version, 12‑Count, 18 ounces) UPC: 6‑82082‑61215‑1 Best By: 1/14/2027 – 6/18/2027 What To Do With the Recalled Ice Cream If you or someone in your family is lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy, discard any recalled La Michoacana or Helados Mexico products. You may be able to return the product to the store for an exchange or refund. If you can eat dairy products, then this ice cream is still safe to eat. For more information about the recall, contact the company at 909-563-3090 Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PST. Read the original article on SIMPLYRECIPES Solve the daily Crossword

Hong Kong suspends imports of Japanese Kochi ice cream product over bacteria
Hong Kong health authorities have issued a food safety alert and suspended imports of a Japanese ice cream product after discovering coliform bacteria levels well above legal limits. The black tea-flavoured ice cream, branded as Kochi Ice and imported by Shin Tai Ho (Hong Kong) Company, was found to contain 140 coliform bacteria per gram, above the regulated threshold of 100. The Centre for Food Safety disclosed the findings on Monday following routine testing at the import level under its Food Surveillance Programme. The bacteria is from the same genus as E coli and can cause diarrhoea and other dysenteric symptoms. The ice cream, packaged in 115ml portions with a best-before date of April 18, 2027, had already entered the local market before the warning. Authorities stressed that while the contamination did not necessarily cause food poisoning, it was a sign of unsatisfactory hygiene standards during production.
