  "Girl dinner" is here to stay,  according to Dictionary.com . The term popularized by a TikTok trend made the list of new entries announced on Tuesday. It's one of hundreds of words and terms added, many of which inspired by internet culture.  Dictionary.com  now defines "girl dinner" as a noun referring to an "attractively presented collection of snacks that involve little preparation, such as small quantities of cold cuts, cheese, fruit, cherry tomatoes, etc., deemed sufficient to constitute a meal for one." But where did the term actually come from? Here's what to know. What is 'girl dinner'? The food reference  originated on TikTok in a video by Olivia Maher  posted in May 2023; the creator used the term to describe her spread of cheeses, bread, grapes and cornichons. That video has since inspired countless recreations under the hashtag #GirlDinner and even a musical jingle by another creator that's been  used in over 428,000 TikT...

  Sunday's  Super Bowl  broadcast was packed with  intriguing (and head-scratching) commercials , but there's one in particular that's raising a lot of questions:  Poppi 's ad for its prebiotic sodas. The ad, which is called " The Future of Soda Is Now ," says that the beverage brand wants to change the way people think about soda. "This will be the last moment you ever think of soda as being a dirty word ... as being bad for you," a woman says in a voiceover, as shots of beautiful people drinking cans of the stuff fill the screen. The ad also plays up the brand's "clean ingredients" and  prebiotics  (nutrients that act as a source of food for the gut's healthy bacteria), noting that it has just 5 grams of sugar and 25 calories per can, maximum. "It will be the soda your kids and grandkids think of when they think of soda," the ad declares. "Poppi is the next chapter in the story of soda." For all of the Super Bo...

Most people have certain go-to remedies that they reach for when they have an upset stomach. For some, that means drinking soda — either bubbly or flat — such as ginger ale or Coke. But does sipping on soda actually help? Not really, according to  Dr. Pooja Singhal , gastroenterologist and spokesperson for the  American Gastroenterological Association . Singhal tells Yahoo Life that there is no evidence that sweetened carbonated drinks help symptoms of an upset stomach — and in some cases, it can make you feel worse. “These quick go-to remedies actually do very little to help with the actual cause of upset stomach, which could vary from  gastroesophageal reflux disease  [GERD], abdominal bloating from constipation, ulcer disease or gallbladder disease,” she says. Singhal adds that carbonated sweetened drinks can even worsen certain preexisting conditions like GERD, a chronic condition that occurs when stomach acid or bile flows into the esophagus and irritates the li...

  America has long been running on Dunkin'. But the brand is ensuring that it keeps its customers caffeinated with its newest offering: " Sparkd' Energy " drinks. The iced beverage was added to menus nationwide on Wednesday in a lead-up to spring, according to a  press release  from the brand. It's said to provide "a revitalizing burst of energy, made with vitamins, minerals and a kick of  caffeine ," and comes in two "sparkling fruit" flavors: Berry Burst and Peach Sunshine. Dunkin' says the drinks are meant to bring "a fresh perspective on the classic idea of an  energy drink ." However, if the menu additions sound at all familiar, you're not wrong. In fact, Panera Bread's "Charged Lemonade," which is a similarly fruity drink featuring caffeine, has made headlines as the brand faces  multiple lawsuits  claiming that the stimulant-filled drink is linked to hospitalizations and even two deaths. So why is Dunkin...
