Soup You Can Suck On: A New Twist on Comfort Food
As someone who juggles a busy lifestyle—balancing family, work, and creative pursuits—cold and flu season often feels like a personal nemesis. But leave it to innovation to catch my attention.
Enter Progresso Soup Drops: “soup you can suck on.”
Yes, you read that right. Progresso has turned one of our favorite comfort foods into a convenient lozenge-like form. It’s a clever fusion of two things we lean on when we're under the weather: the hearty nourishment of soup and the throat-soothing properties of drops. The idea of carrying chicken noodle “drops” in your pocket to combat scratchy throats is wild, but I want to at least try them!
What about you? Would you embrace soup in lozenge form, or does this innovation seem a bit too out-of-the-bowl?
Netflix is raising its prices again
Netflix is kicking off the year with yet another price increase, as revealed in its Q4 2024 earnings report.
Netflix’s reasoning? More investment in exclusive content and features. But with competition fiercer than ever, it’s worth asking how much more subscribers are willing to pay for their binge-worthy fix.
Price increases per month
- Ad-supported: $6.99 to $7.99
- Standard ad-free: $15.49 to $17.99
- Premium: $22.99 to $24.99
Along with the price hike, Netflix announced that it’s rolling out a new Extra Member with Ads plan, which will allow those on the ad-supported plan to add someone outside their household to their subscription. It currently costs an extra $7.99 per month to add someone outside your household to an ad-free plan.
