Will coffee drinks yell Yabba Dabba Doo for this new creamer?
The latest partnership to hit the food space between two companies is determined not to get stuck in the Stone Age.
Post Holdings, the maker of Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles, is working with International Delight owner Danone to infuse the cereals into coffee creamer to celebrate Pebbles 50th birthday in 2021. The two creamers based on the cereal that was inspired by the modern stone age family, the Flintstones, will be available at retailers nationwide for a limited time.
Duluth woman aims to complete winter thru-hike of 1,200-mile Ice Age Trail Chelsey Lewis, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Completing a thru-hike of the 1,200-mile Ice Age Trail is challenging in any season.
But Duluth’s Emily Ford is adding an extra degree of difficulty: winter.
Ford set out from the trail’s eastern terminus at Potawatomi State Park in Sturgeon Bay on Dec. 28 with the hope of finishing at the western terminus in St. Croix Falls in March.
If she completes her hike, she’ll become just the second person and the first woman to complete a winter thru-hike of the trail.

The Escondido History Center has put out a new book on the history of Escondido, titled “Escondido, a Pictorial History of the Hidden Valley.”
The nearly 250-page book features hundreds of photographs showing Escondido’s earlier history, including rarely seen historical photos. The work, two years in the making, covers Escondido’s early days going back to 1886 and up to the present, including an overview of significant events over the last 30 years.
The book was written by the Escondido History Center’s executive director, Robin Fox, an Escondido native, with help from the center’s board vice president, Carol Rea.

Four Deaths Mar Three Summer Festivals Down Under
Four deaths marred the return of three summer festivals Down Under. Two were at Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne, New Zealand, which drew a daily 30,000 Dec. 28-31.
Audio engineer David Peterson from Wavefront Audio, who was working at the festival, died of suspected heart failure.
Wavefront manager Milo Kerrigan explained, “Dave had injured his arm two days before, requiring a few stitches, and was on light duties as the system tech for the three stages we look after at R&V – typically, being the hard ass roadie that he was, he was back after a couple of hours patched up and soldiering on.” After set-up, Peterson had a nap in a van. When a crew member tried to wake him up, he was unresponsive.
