Floridians are spoiled for choice when it comes to grocery stores. But few debates get as heated as the one between Publix and ALDI. On one side, you’ve got polished service and Pub Subs. On the other, crazy low prices and no-nonsense shopping. If you’ve never pushed a cart down both aisles, these are the…
Behind every Chipotle counter is a team of employees moving fast to feed hundreds of people a day. They’re pros, but even pros get frustrated when customers slow down the system. Employees have seen it all, from people forgetting how lines work to folks asking for queso samples like it’s Baskin-Robbins. These are the unwritten…
Remember when some things were all the rage in Texas, and now they just make you shake your head? From foods that no longer tantalize the taste buds to cultural habits that have fallen out of favor, here’s a look at some of the things that Texans—and Americans as a whole—have grown to seriously dislike….

It’s about paying attention, learning the little…

Did you know that Americans eat over 3 billion pounds of avocados each year? That represents a more than seven-pound increase in avocado consumption per person between 2001 and 2022.
