Social media is flooded with snackers debating whether the name of the green Pringles tube has changed. But, a contentious discussion about whether the name of the green Pringles tubes, “Pringles Sour Cream & Onion,” has changed has erupted among crisp devotees on social media. The argument was triggered when a number of crisp crunchers raced to sites such as Reddit and TikTok to argue the green tube did previously have a different name.

Official Statements

The Pringles devotees acknowledged that they were perplexed because they couldn’t discover any internet proof of the name change. The green crisp tube is definitely labeled “Pringles Sour Cream & Onion,” and the company’s website states this in its description: “Pringles Sour Cream & Onion crisps are the perfect combination of green onion taste and savory sour cream flavors certain to satisfy even the most intense of cravings.

Setting the Record Straight

A social media user reportedly contacted Pringles to put an end to the argument, as they reacted to a Reddit post. The statement reads:  “Pringles used to market a flavor variety in the UK called Sour Cream and Chive and sometimes our consumers use the name of this flavor variety when making inquiries or referring to our currently available Pringles Sour Cream and Onion flavor.”

While the debate is still ongoing to know what the flavor really is, fans have kept going back and forth about it all over the internet. But what could really set things straight is if Pringles themselves would set the record straight and come up with a recent statement and address all those concerns. Needless to say, this may be something small when we’re talking about huge companies and lots of economies to tackle too, but perhaps in time, this issue would grab the attention of the higher ups of Pringles. And maybe then, we could all get an answer of what that tasty flavor really is.

The whole music collection of Justin Bieber was auctioned for USD $200 million. According to Rolling Stone, the pop artist gave the Hipgnosis Songs Fund the rights to his songs. The sizable agreement covers 290 of his works that will be released by December 21, 2021. Therefore, the British investment and song management firm owns all of those beloved classics, such as “Baby,” “Love Me”, and even “Boyfriend”!

Leaving a Legacy

With this agreement, Hipgnosis has acquired a 100% interest in the publishing rights and the artist’s portion of the income from the 28-year-master old’s recordings, which are still owned by Universal Music Group. Additionally, they are entitled to neighboring rights, which apply to any public performances of his music. Following the announcement of the contract, Scooter Braun, Bieber’s longtime manager, said through CNN:  “Justin is truly a once in a generation artist and that is reflected and acknowledged by the magnitude of this deal. For 15 years I have been grateful to witness this journey and today I am happy for all those involved. Justin’s greatness is just beginning.”

From a Business Perspective

Bieber joins a lengthy line of musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, Motley Crue, Sting, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, who have lately sold their libraries. Bieber is the biggest musician traded for in his generation, surpassing Springsteen, whose catalog was sold for an estimated $550 million. If you have something that’s popular, everyone wants to get in on it, according to Cynthia Katz of the legal firm Fox Rothschild, which has handled infamous deals like the sale of Motley Crue to BMG.

Taylor Swift, meanwhile, has chosen a totally different path. In 2019, after Big Machine Records, unknowing to her, sold her masters to her adversary Scooter Braun, the singer fought valiantly to regain creative control, even re-recording six of her first studio albums. She admitted that she made an attempt to repurchase them before the agreement with Braun was signed. Of course, not every singer is in to doing all the same the others do, but there lies the greatness of it all as money is always a powerful tool. A strategic move for singers, but it would be up to them to handle it all and prove their business prowess too!

Gum lovers, pay attention. Chewing gum includes a hidden element that may cause you to reconsider purchasing the chewing product.

Well, we all love chewing gum right?

A soft, cohesive material called chewing gum is made to be chewed without being swallowed. Gum base, sweeteners, softeners/plasticizers, flavors, colors, and, usually, a hard or powdery polyol coating make up modern chewing gum.

The physical-chemical qualities of its polymer, plasticizer, and resin components, which contribute to its elastic-plastic, sticky, and chewy characteristics, give it a texture that is similar to rubber.

Since chewing gum is a cultural custom that has appeared in many ancient cultures, it appears to have evolved through a process of convergence.

Each early predecessor of chewing gum came from locally grown natural plants, and chewing them was solely motivated by the urge to masticate.

Early chewers occasionally sought flavor stimulation, teeth cleansing, or breath-freshening benefits from their chewable items rather than necessary nutritional benefits.

Yep, it’s not vegan

You may have heard from grownups that there were many concerns about chewing gum, particularly while you were growing up.

The idea that swallowing chewing gum will cause your heart to encircle and stop beating is a pure hoax, but it undoubtedly terrified many of us as children.

Another idea was that chewing gum would remain in your stomach for seven years before it was broken down.

Although gum cannot be digested, it passes through the digestive system relatively undamaged and is eventually expelled in stools.

Large quantities of gum mixed with constipation have, on rare occasions, caused children’s intestines to become clogged.

Therefore, it should go without saying that chewing gum frequently is not advised.

What makes chewing gum, however, is something that has undoubtedly received less attention than other aspects of the product.

The Sun claims that chewing gum manufacturers are not actually obligated to list all of the ingredients that go into their creation.

And many people are offended by this single element, which they had no idea was in chewing gum.

The component we’re discussing is lanolin, which gives gum its most crucial quality—chewiness.

People have been surprised to learn that lanolin, a waxy substance found in the sebaceous glands of sheep skin, is a natural substance.

Sheep’s wool is waterproof because of the chewing gum component, which is also present in other goods.

Cosmetics, infant goods, and sunscreen are a few examples of items that use lanolin.

In a September tweet, the Raise Your Brain Twitter account discussed the use of lanolin in chewing gum.

Your favorite chewing gum probably includes lanolin, a waxy substance from sheep’s wool, they claimed.

Because it is not yet standardized, lanolin, which is frequently used to make the gum’s base, does not need to be disclosed on the box.

The bottom line is that unless it is clearly marked as vegan on the container, gum could not be vegan.

The making of chewing gum was documented on TikTok by @Amazing proce, providing a detailed look at the process.
