Peanut butter: the great spreadable. You either love it or you hate it. Oh wait, that’s Marmite.

If Wikipedia is to be believed (which clearly it always should be), peanut pastes date back to Aztec times when it was used as a toothache remedy.

Given the sugar content in some of the own-brand varieties though, I wouldn’t recommend smothering peanut butter on your teeth quite yet.

The purest of the peanut butters on offer are made solely from grinding down peanuts. Some may add salt to flavour, or completely bastardising all purity… Read the full story

I had a really painful headache and I was feeling nauseous, then nothing. That was all I felt until I woke up in hospital surrounded by my family and friends.

Luckily my housemate had called the ambulance and got me to hospital.

But if you’re hot, imagine how parched a furry doggo must be – especially when they’re left in a hot car for a few minutes.

The pressure to slim down before going on holiday is huge.

As we move further into summer, we become ever more surrounded by idiotic slimming product adverts and images of celebrities looking toned and slim on the beach.

The number of calories in the Dominos Garlic & Herb dip is horrifying

So loads of us starve ourselves to try and look the same.

And when you’re hung up on how slim you are, it can be difficult to actually enjoy a vacation. You turn down delicious local foods for fear of bloating. Ice creams are dead to you. In short, a… Read the full story

But they were cool – and now back and better than ever.

In fact, they’re even cooler because Rihanna’s fashion label has brought them back in the form of sliders – so there’s plenty of breeze getting to your sweaty soles.

Is there any fruit more summery than a pineapple?

Is there any cocktail more reminiscent of a beach holiday than a pina colada?

Pink pineapples are back and they're more Instagrammable than ever

Pineapples are sunshine in a fruit, which is why we can’t move for all the pineapple motifs and beachwear available this season.

But regular ones aren’t nearly as spectacular as the pink variety.

They’re not actually new – Del Monte Foods have been developing them since 2005, but it was only last December that the FDA officially approved them for public consumption.
