We love Oreos, and we love cookie dough. Which is why we were super excited to find out that someone’s combined the two together.

There's going to be an anti-Oktoberfest in London this autumn

The Cookie Dough Cafe, in Illinois, has created a Cookies & Cream flavour cookie dough that comes loaded with chunks of real Oreo cookies.

The cookie dough comes in a jar that’s filled to the brim, and it’s basically as if all of our foodie dreams have come true.

And the best thing? The cookie dough contains absolutely no eggs and is specifically made to eat… Read the full story

Cutlery just got interesting, as Asda has released a set way more Instagram-worthy than the dinner you’ll be eating with them.

The supermarket’s 16-piece Iridescent Cutlery Set is making fans of all things mythical go crazy.

Seriously, this set is a unicorn-fanatic’s cutlery dreams come true.

Of course, we shouldn’t be too thrilled, it is just a cutlery set after all. But we’ve got to admit, as we’re getting older, we’re becoming less excited about the thought of shots and more enthusiastic at the prospect of colour-coding our kitchens.

It’s normally Tesco that’s determined to pull out all of the stops on Twitter.

Since the micro-blogging website began, corporations have found new ways to interact with the public — and as this exchange proves, it can feel as awkward as seeing your old school teacher and being able to call them by their first name.

But this time, the mighty budget supermarkets have got out their battle axes to have a war — a war in GIFs.

If you’ve made it through the battlefield of dating unscathed from incidents of ghosting, benching, and zombieing, congratulations.

But there’s another super ~fun~ dating trend waiting for you on the horizon.

Meet the deaf nutritional coach who's fighting for greater accessibility in fitness

Meet love bombing.

It’s a genuinely awful dating tactic used by master manipulators and general d*cks, that involves delivering a bunch of love bombs to win a date over and distract them from all the sh*t stuff going down.

Here’s how it works, according to Dr Dale Archer of Read the full story

Everyone is on a lilo hype.

The go-to theme, however, of 2017 has got to be the pizza slice.

But who wants to float about on their own? No man is a pizza island.

Never fear. There’s a new way to pose for photos that’s loads easier than making your face do a relaxed smile.

Missguided have removed a neon sign from one of their stores after over  9,000 people petitioned to have it taken down.

The ‘Send me nudes’ sign has now been taken down in the chain’s Bluewater shopping centre branch, although it also been spotted in the Trafford Centre and Westfield Stratford shops too.

What's the difference between a skin purge and a breakout?

Youth Worker Rachel Gardner started the petition after being sent a picture of the neon slogan by a friend who’d come across it while shopping with her pre-teen daughters.

Local authorities keep a register of all tattooists and issue registration certificates, the certificate mus be on display in their parlor or studio.

Illegal tattooing means either tattooing a young person who is under the age of 18 or tattooing carried out by an unregistered tattooist.

Coca-Cola. It’s one of the most popular and widely recognisable drinks in the world, but still very few people know what’s actually in it.

And when we say ‘few’, we mean about two.

The idea is that only two Coca-Cola employees know the recipe to the drink at any one time to stop it falling into the hands of their competitors.

We’d like to think that we use Twitter to keep up-to-date with the latest political news and trends but, let’s be honest, mainly we use it for funny dog-related memes.

Oh, and to make ourselves feel less rubbish about our owns lives by revelling in the misery of other people’s.

And, with that aim in mind, I’ve pulled together 11 tweets about parenting teenagers that will help you to realise that you are definitely not alone.

Luckily, we live in a country where tipping is pretty simple.

People are squishing their boobs into hearts, for reasons we don't entirely understand

You tip your waiter/waitress to acknowledge that working on their feet all day and dealing with douchebags for minimum wage is unjust.

You can also tip your hairdresser if you feel like it, and let your taxi driver keep the change if they were particularly jovial (shout out to the super friendly female taxi driver in Margate), but it’s not expected of you.

Ever since they taught us to cross the road, hedgehogs have charmed their way into our lives.

Although we are far more familiar with the roadside creatures than the smaller versions of the animal, the delightful pygmy versions of the prickly pets have sent the Twitterverse into overdrive.

There are many sausage flavours on the market.

If my meat memory recalls correctly, I’ve previously digested such taste sensations as leek and stilton, apple and fennel, and cheddar and onion.

You can even get wonderful vegan sausages these days, which is a real godsend for my meatless comrades.

But what’s weirder is the introduction of booze-infused meats. I mean,wine, sure, I get it, who doesn’t love a red wine jus?

Swiping right was never easier than when I was at university.

During the final year of my degree, Tinder launched in the UK, and the novelty of simply indicating an attraction to someone through the flick of a finger revolutionised dating forever.

Why I ditched Tinder for my friends

Through Tinder, I made firm friends, awkwardly stumbled across colleagues, and even met my former partner.

But five years on, I never want to use the app again —  because it takes too much time away from my friendships.

Back in June we brought you the life-changing news that there’s going to be a pop-up pug cafe in London in September.

Why is it that the more you work out, the worse you feel about the way you look?

That’s right – a cafe where pugs and humans can unite over flat whites and puguccinos, with some good conversation thrown in for good measure.

‘Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy?’

The cafe was originally going to be in Chiswick on 2 September but it’s now happening… Read the full story

I’ve never been too bothered about my weight.

I generally eat what I want because I exercise quite regularly, which means that until now, I’ve got away with eating family bags of Razzles of an afternoon because I’ve run 4k at lunchtime. That’s how I like to do things – earn and enjoy.

But recently, I decided that I could do with losing a bit of weight. It’s summer and I’ve got my first holiday coming up with people I’ve never been on holiday with and I want to look my best.

And as a fitness writer who’s knee-deep in the online fitness world, I wanted to see whether I too could look as incredible as all these Instagrammers.

So I’ve embarked on a healthy eating and personal training regime.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that our current workplace culture isn’t doing wonders for our mental wellbeing.

Now, new research suggests that it’s men who are more mentally affected by their work, with data from Mind revealing that one in three men attribute poor mental health to their job, versus one in five women who say the same.

Mind surveyed 15,000 employees from around the UK to gather their stats, and found that 32% of men blame their work for their… Read the full story
