After flipping his SUV last month, Britain’s Prince Philip has voluntarily surrendered his driver’s license.

Queen Elizabeth’s 97-year-old husband was fortunate to survive after flipping his SUV in a 2-car crash in January.

Coca-Cola is coming out with a new orange vanilla flavour, that’s the first new Coke flavour in more than a decade.

They compare it to the, “creamy orange popsicles we grew up loving, but in a classically Coke way.”

The other flavours considered were between raspberry, lemon, and ginger, but ultimately Orange Vanilla came out on top.

Here in Canada, we already got a taste of the lastest concoction during a Summer promotion.

Look for Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla to hit shelves in the coming months.


There’s a company called Nightfood and they just created ice cream that apparently helps you sleep.

It’s very different than regular ice cream. Regular ice cream is bad for your sleep, mainly because of the sugar or sucralose, and caffeine.

Nightfood’s ice cream has extra protein and lots of other amino acids and enzymes that are supposed to help you fall asleep. It’s also low-calorie with around 320 calories in a pint.

If you’re interested, you can buy pints now on their website in eight different flavours.
