Costco's Latest Deli Item Has Fans Seriously Scratching Their Heads—Shoppers Say It 'Tastes Awful'
With the arrival of the warmer months, potato salad is a dish you're sure to see at backyard barbeques, pool parties, picnics and other seasonal gatherings. Despite the immense popularity of this dish, a new type of potato salad available at Costco has dedicated shoppers seeing red.
In a post shared on Instagram, Laura Lamb of @costcohotfinds shared with fans that she recently spotted Loaded Potato Salad in the warehouse's deli.

"There's a new Loaded Potato Salad in the Costco deli in a two-and-a-half pound container. It's made with Russet and roasted potatoes and topped with bacon crumbles and cheddar cheese. This one was creamy and delicious," she revealed in her video.
To create that creamy base, both sour cream and mayonnaise is used for the Loaded Potato Salad.
Although the zesty dish combines two fan-faves—loaded potato salad and mashed potatoes—many shoppers were left scratching their heads. Some were unsure of whether or not it should be eaten cold. Others were taken aback by the cheese on top remaining unmelted.
"I putting that bad boy in the oven," said one Costco shopper-turned-potato salad rebel.
"Not gonna melt the cheese?" another person asked.

Others were concerned about there being onions or other veggies in the potato salad.
"Any veggies in it? Hate potato salad with veggies in it," one of them wrote.
And then, there were the not-so-favorable reviews from those who have tried the new side dish.
"We bought this and my husband hated it and he LOVES potato salad," read one comment.
"This tastes awful. I don't recommend it. It tastes nothing like potato salad," said another critic.
If you are willing to give the Loaded Potato Salad a shot, you can purchase it at Costco for $3.99 per pound.

I Tried the Viral 3-Ingredient Frozen Aperol Spritz
Nearly a decade ago, I spent a semester in Florence, Italy. I'll never forget wandering through the piazzas and spotting people on patios, sipping this vibrant orange drink. Out of curiosity, I ordered one during my next meal out — turns out it was an Aperol Spritz. At the time, I had no idea what to expect flavor-wise. After my first sip, the bitter notes definitely caught me off guard (for some reason, I had expected it to be sweeter!). But luckily, I love bold, bitter flavors. Before long, I started ordering an Aperol Spritz whenever I saw it on a menu. And once I returned to the United States, it quickly became one of my go-to cocktails. So when a frozen version went viral on social media last year, it immediately caught my attention. It wasn't the first time I'd seen a slushy-style Aperol Spritz — some restaurants pumped them out of ice machines — but those versions always leaned too bitter or too sweet. Naturally, I had my doubts about this one making waves on Instagram. Still, with just three ingredients, it felt simple enough to try. Get the recipe: 3-Ingredient Frozen Aperol Spritz Place two cups of ice, 4 ounces of orange juice, 4 ounces of Aperol, and 4 ounces of Prosecco in a blender. Blend on medium-high speed, or use a preprogrammed margarita or smoothie setting if your blender has one. Transfer the drink into two cocktail glasses, garnish each with an orange slice, and enjoy immediately. I can't wait to make this recipe again. For starters, it's ridiculously easy, it took me about five minutes to blend everything and serve the cocktails. Plus, I tend to always have Aperol and Prosecco stocked in my home bar once summer rolls around. I always like to preface Aperol spritz drinks by saying that, while they may look tropical thanks to their vibrant orange hue, they typically taste more bitter, herbal, and citrusy. This frozen version has that same flavor profile, but it feels slightly more refreshing because the melting ice helps mellow out some of the bitterness. When I made this drink, I definitely felt like I was racing against the clock (it was a warm 90-degree day!). One hack I discovered: If your drink starts to melt a little too much, you can toss it back in the blender with a few ice cubes to slush it up again. Beyond that, it's so simple, and I can't wait to make pitchers of this frozen Aperol spritz for all my upcoming summer soirées. Enhance the citrusy flavor: To take the tangy taste up a notch in this frozen Aperol spritz, add 2 ounces of orange liqueur, like Cointreau, for an even zestier profile. Swap the Prosecco: If you don't have Prosecco on hand, you can replace it with seltzer water, club soda, or any mildly flavored sparkling beverage. Get creative with the garnish: Instead of just placing an orange wedge on top of the spritz, try creating a twist or spiral out of the orange peel to make this cocktail look even more stunning.

Heart-stopping video shows helicopter flip and crash near Michigan waterfront restaurant
A harrowing video shows the moment a helicopter crash-landed behind a waterfront restaurant in Clay Township, Michigan, on Sunday. The TikTok video appears to show the red aircraft attempting to land, before flipping and crashing into the ground near the Cabana Blue restaurant. Nearby bystanders were heard screaming and yelling, "Oh my God," as the helicopter crashed, sending a plume of dust and debris into the air. Weekend boaters watched in horror as they drifted by. "You got that on video?" a female asked the person filming. "I did," the person responded, clearly in dismay. "Is he OK?" The video quickly cut out as the pair discussed driving over to the scene to check on passengers. No injuries were confirmed, according to a report from Click On Detroit. The number of passengers on board and cause of the crash is unclear. Clay Township police did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.

Historic Colorado town red light district gives glimpses of life during the gold rush
During the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in Colorado, mining camps quickly grew into bustling towns. Glimpses of history can be seen through architectural remains and objects left behind, even red light districts can provide a tangible link to the past. If you look hard enough at the aspen-covered hillside just below the old Coeur d'Alene gold mine in Central City, you can kind of see what it used to be. The plot of rugged earth was once Central City's red light district, five houses outside of town where residents went to unwind after a long day. Metro State University of Denver "They were brothels," says Jade Luiz, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Metro State University of Denver. "This never was legal, but the community sort of largely tolerated its presence." But that's not why Doctor Luiz and her team of student archaeologists have come up here every summer since 2023 and spent days digging in the dirt. It's because they want the stuff the residents and patrons of the brothels threw away. Things like bones from meals, old fabric, corsets and lots of shoes. CBS "The everyday stuff that's not glamorous and not sexy," said Luiz. "Because this tells us most about everyday life and how people are engaging with the landscape up here, interacting with each other, interacting with the town." In conjunction with old newspaper articles, their findings have helped paint a picture of what life was like between saloon girls, their customers and even those who were just neighbors with the people of the red light district. "We're seeing evidence of people buying medicines from local pharmacies, patronizing different businesses," said Luiz. CBS And while the project may seem a bit cheeky, it's actually very important because it's our shared Colorado history, and one that Central City is happy to embrace. "This community doesn't hide the fact that there was this industry here for so long. And that makes this location so unique," said Luiz. Luiz says they'll keep digging up there as long as the property owners and the State let them. They're really excited for the possibility of digging up there next summer, because they say they'll be getting into an old privy, which they insist is actually really exciting.
