Credit: Liv Averett / Amazon / Walmart We’ve done a lot of taste tests—but the results of our Sprite flavors taste test might be the most shocking. I mean, look, the number one best Sprite flavor is still a Sprite. So, I guess it’s not that surprising. But, spoiler alert, the best Sprite flavor is not original Sprite.

Credit: Merc / Instacart / Trader Joe's Fresh mozzarella has nothing on a ball of the best burrata cheese. Because burrata is mozzarella done better. It’s mozzarella encasing a tempting mix of cream and cheese curds (aka stracciatella). (Want to know more? Check out our full burrata explainer.) It’s texturally delectable and it’s a showstopper of a starter simply served on a plate.

Vegan steak has come a long way over the past few years. In fact, at this point, the best vegan steak might be too convincing for some vegetarians. Some of the mushroom-based steaks we tasted look and feel so much like raw meat when you’re cooking them that when I sent a photo to a vegetarian friend, she wondered aloud, “Who is that for??” So, yeah—super realistic-looking plant based steak isn’t for some people.

Credit: Liv Averett / Walmart When we first reported on the new PB&J Reese’s Big Cups, we had high hopes. Peanut butter and jelly are obvious BFFs and the addition of chocolate rarely makes something worse. It seemed like a no-brainer. It seemed like a slam dunk. Plus, we weren’t just getting one new Reese’s flavor, we were getting two new Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: strawberry and grape! Were those high hopes met?

Well folks, if you’ve been keeping an eye on the news, you may not be having a Baja Blast right now, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t things to look forward to. That’s right, a new Mountain Dew flavor called Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus is hitting stores this month. But that’s not all—Guacamole Doritos (yes, the very same ones from back in 2006) are making their much-anticipated return. Let’s just say, April is shaping up to be a big month for Mountain Dewers everywhere.

Ben Stiller, one of our greatest living nepo babies, is planning to launch a low-sugar soda brand called Stiller’s. Do you think this idea came from his innie or his outie? Per sources that don’t wish to be identified, Ben Stiller has been raising funds for the venture in his personal time. He filed for a trademark back in November relating to this venture, which gives us our first idea of the name of this new “fruit-flavored, carbonated beverage” brand: Stiller’s. In one word?

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?
