For having such a complex flavor, fish sauce is shockingly simple. It’s essentially just the liquid that results from fermenting salted fish. But fish sauce truly is more than the sum of its parts. It has a wildly complex flavor that varies from brand to brand. And it’s essential for so many recipes (particularly Southeast Asian recipes). Seriously, there really is no such thing as a fish sauce replacement. Related: What Is Fish Sauce? An ExplainerBut what’s the best fish sauce?

Credit: Merc / Instacart We taste test a lot of frozen dinners here at Sporked. In recent months we’ve tried meals from Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine, Marie Callender’s—and I have to be honest, most of the time, there are more duds than winners. Our taste test of Amy’s frozen meals was unique in that respect—we actually REALLY liked a lot of these.

The king of collabs has teamed up with 7-Eleven to Shaq-ify the infamous Slurpee—or should I say, Slurpee-ify the infamous Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies. That’s right, Shaq has created a new Sour Pineapple Slurpee based on the fan-favorite Sour Pineapple flavor of his gummy candy. Wait, Shaq-A-What gummies?

Credit: Liv Averett / Spindrift Spindrift is famous for making sparkling water that contains actual fruit. It’s a good strategy! Spindrift flavors tend to taste super authentic because, well, they are. That said, authenticity isn’t necessarily what people are looking for when they grab a can of soda. So, can new Spindrift Soda compete for market share in a world of Baja Blasts and Purple Thunders?
