“We are incredibly proud of our second collaboration with Totino’s,” said Adam Bauer, FaZe Clan’s senior vice president of brand partnerships. “Finding the next flavor to roll out together has been an exciting process and we can’t wait to introduce Orange Chicken Pizza Rolls to our fans in an easy way to enjoy between gaming sessions.”

Target guests will soon be able to get their favorite Starbucks beverage taken straight to their cars with the latest service addition to Drive Up.

Drive Up with Starbucks is rolling out to the retailer’s more than 1,700 locations with both a Starbucks café and Drive Up service by early October following a successful pilot.

To place a Starbucks order via Drive Up, customers who place an order at a participating Target store will receive a notification that it is ready, and shoppers will be able to indicate they are en route via the retailer’s app. Then, customers will receive a prompt to place an order from the Starbucks menu.

Once the selection has been made, shoppers will click the add for Drive Up prompt and pay for the order.

After customers indicate they are on their way, a Starbucks barista located in the store will prepare the order and package it for transport. Once the guest arrives and notifies arrival, a Target team member will deliver the Starbucks order and any other Drive Up purchase to the vehicle.

The Drive Up with Starbucks is currently rolling out to stores nationwide throughout the summer and early fall and is currently available in a handful of states.

Moon Juice is continuing to make waves in the wellness industry with its latest innovation—Mini Dew, a 2-in-1 daily electrolyte and mineral powder supplement.

Joining its Cellular Waters category, this new launch features a microplastic-free Himalayan pink salt electrolyte, which has 270 mg of sodium, as well as chelated forms of potassium and magnesium to aid in hydration and absorption, the company said.

“Since I love to stack my habits, we turned Mini Dew into a 2-in-1 mid-formulation. Not only is it an electrolyte; it’s also a daily comprehensive mineral supplement,” said Moon Juice founder Amanda Chantal Bacon. “I don't think enough of us realize how important minerals are. Ninety percent of us have a mineral imbalance or deficiency, and a lot of that has to do with our food supply. Modern agricultural practices have stripped the soil, and even if you eat organic food from the farmer’s market, it’s void of the full spectrum nutrients you need.”

In addition, it also contains a full spectrum of ionic trace minerals and five chelated essential minerals to also cater to brain function, hormones, energy, skin and hair, the brand noted.

Made with 0 g of sugar and featuring a watermelon taste, Moon Juice’s Mini Dew is available for purchase online.

That’s why we’re so excited to bring them the Club x Butter Chardonnay Minis — a snack that seamlessly brings together everything they need for the perfect bite at the next gathering,” said Carrie Foose, director of brand marketing for Kellogg’s Crackers. “We look forward to hearing what fans think of this unique, limited-edition snack, because with Butter Chardonnay infused in their favorite Club Minis, their next club hang will be fabulous.”

The limited-edition crackers will come in an Ultimate Butter Box, which features the crackers, an insulated tote and four ButterCans.

“Who doesn’t love wine and crackers? But infusing Butter Chardonnay into Club Minis—that’s a new level of deliciousness we couldn’t resist making with our friends at Club,” said Michele Truchard, Co-founder and the “M” in JaM Cellars. “It was incredibly fun taste testing to create the perfect bite that really complements the wine. Butter fans everywhere are going to love them.”
