7-Eleven's new anko butter burrito un-bean-lievably bad, or burrito bliss?
By Krista Rogers, SoraNews24 Burritos aren't all that common in Japan, to the point that one of our Japanese-language reporters had never eaten one until last year. Therefore, we're always intrigued whenever a common chain like 7-Eleven Japan announces that a new burrito product is joining the ranks, like one did on June 11. The An Butter Burrito, which is currently retailing for 302 yen, isn't a typical burrito filled with pinto beans or black beans, but rather with anko (sweetened red bean paste) and butter instead. It's solidly in the Japanese fusion-food category, similar to many of the chain's burritos of the past. We were insanely curious to try this new offering, whose main ingredient is more of a traditional Japanese dessert than a meal, so we grabbed one from our local store and brought it home. Its label stated that the high-quality tsubuan (coarse sweetened red bean paste) filling was sourced from the Tokachi district of Hokkaido. After popping it in the microwave, we took a generous bite. While the butter didn't really have much of an aroma, it was solidly reflected in the taste (actually, we wouldn't have minded even more!). The combination of sweet anko and moderately salty butter in a springy tortilla was simply divine. Despite using tsubuan, which retains some of the lumpiness of the red beans, the filling felt smooth. Rather, it mainly seemed melty and sticky, more like koshian (strained sweetened red bean paste). All in all, it was quite satisfying and will be perfect for whenever the desire to fill ourselves up with something sweet strikes. Well, that's a wrap on 7-Eleven's new An Butter Burrito. If you're still craving more Japanese fusion burritos, luckily there are plenty to be found, from sushi to okonomiyaki varieties.

Plans for second servo near schools despite concerns
Despite community opposition, plans for a new service station less than 50 metres from an existing petrol station along Wanneroo Road are set to be given the green light. The City of Wanneroo has recommended State planning officials approve a proposed Burk Fuel service station worth $2.1 million. The proposed petrol station would become the eighth along Wanneroo Road between Ocean Reef Road and Joondalup Drive, with only a Zambrero restaurant separating it from an existing 7-Eleven if constructed. Your local paper, whenever you want it. Plans for the service station include a 150sqm convenience store and four fuel bowsers with eight refuelling bays. It will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Despite the City of Wanneroo recommending approval, community opposition was clear during public consultation in November last year, with 184 of 193 submissions objecting to the proposal. The site is immediately next to St Anthony's Primary School and across the road from Wanneroo Primary School and locals are worried about the potential risks to children. 'Pollution caused by petrol stations such as fossil fuels, fumes and fuel leaking into the ground will impact neighbouring properties, nearby residents, children in the nearby schools as well as animals,' one objection said. The city believes strict requirements, including an emissions impact assessment, will ensure any potential risks are appropriately managed. The proposed service station is in Wanneroo on Wanneroo Road, opposite Church Street. Credit: Supplied 'The city considers that the concerns regarding emissions and potential environmental pollution that may impact nearby sensitive land uses will be sufficiently managed through strict requirements imposed on the operator as part of the 'Dangerous Goods Site License' licensing process and in consideration of the EPA guidelines,' city officers said in response to pollution concerns. Other objections to the proposal included increased traffic concerns and calls for alternative developments. 'There is a need for other uses within this area, such as community centres, restaurants, retail, medical centres, gyms, hardware stores, butchers, vets, accommodation for the homeless and parks,' one submitter said. 'Wanneroo becoming (the) City of Petrol Stations,' another objection stated. If constructed, the service station would be just 50 metres from another petrol station. Credit: Google Maps However, the site is privately owned and it's 'at the owner's discretion to propose development', according to the city, which said it can only assess the application in accordance with the requirements of its local planning schemes. 'The application is supported by technical reports which address concerns surrounding traffic, emissions and noise,' city officers said in a report. 'The proposal is appropriately located and well designed, providing consistency with the surrounding locality, and is compatible with the existing surrounding development.' The traffic impact assessment submitted with the proposal estimates 1644 daily trips, half of which are expected to be 'passing trade' already on the road. The Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel will consider the proposal on Tuesday, June 24.

Amouranth returns to Twitch after deleting post showing money earned at Kick
Two years after signing a deal with Kick, Amouranth has revealed she's making a grand return to Twitch. Kaitlyn Siragusa, aka Amouranth, is known for her controversial hot tub and ASMR livestreams, which have led to at least eight Twitch bans in the past. While her popularity began on Twitch, two years ago the streamer signed a non-exclusive deal with rival streaming platform Kick. The deal's exact worth is still unknown, but Amouranth publicly said it 'doubled my income across the board'. Over the past couple of years, Amouranth has still occasionally streamed on other platforms outside of Kick, including Twitch, but it appears she's now making a return on a more regular basis. On Thursday, June 19, Amouranth posted a video on X showing the streamer outside a 7-Eleven store, where she drives off in a vehicle which switches from green to purple. The video concludes with the message,'The Return', alongside a link to her Twitch channel. The original post for this video was captioned, '$38 million later…' – presumably the amount she earned from Kick over the past two years. However, this post has since been deleted and replaced with an updated version on Friday, June 20 which simply reads 'Today'. Today — Amouranth (@Amouranth) June 20, 2025 Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. It's unclear whether this new version was simply to re-promote her return, or if she got a telling off from Kick for revealing her income (or just became self-conscious about it), but the livestream is set to begin on Friday. More Trending The exact parameters around Amouranth's return to Twitch are also unknown. If it is a new deal, it will likely be non-exclusive, as the streamer has a huge presence on other platforms like OnlyFans. It's also unclear if she'll abandon Kick entirely, but the exact details might emerge during her 'return' stream later today. Despite being primarily a Kick streamer for two years, Amouranth still has over 6.2 million followers on Twitch. In comparison, she has 265,900 Kick followers. A number of other big streamers have signed deals with Kick over the past few years, as the platform looks to boost its viewership, including Félix Lengyel, aka xQc, Adin Ross, and Ice Poseidon.

Prankster wins the lottery. Wife tells him to take out the garbage
Eugene Brown of Menifee is known as a prankster. He once told his wife that one of her favorite singers had died so he could record her reaction. So you can understand why she might not believe him when he showed her his $5 million lottery ticket. She's also a teacher, hence the low tolerance for nonsense. He eventually convinced her that it wasn't a gag —the family had really become one of California's latest lottery millionaires. Brown bought the winning ticket when he was recently out with their toddler so his wife could take a little breather. The pair headed out for breakfast and a walk, according to California Lottery officials. The ARCO ampm in Menifee, at Newport and Menifee roads, is a regular stop for Brown, who picks up Scratchers there. On this day, Dad and the tyke stopped together and he bought a ticket. 'If she hadn't asked me to go out, I might not have gone to the store,' Brown said. 'Somebody else would've gotten that ticket. But everything lined up in the universe.' When the pair got home from their amble, Brown scratched his tickets. He won $75! Then he won what he thought was $5,000. But he wasn't sure, so he showed his Maximum Millions ticket to his wife. She told him it was $5 million. Then, sure it was a prank, he said, she asked him calmly to take out the garbage. It took some convincing, but Brown persuaded his wife they were a few million dollars richer. He told lottery officials he planned to pay off his house then put the rest into a trust. Winning a big prize in the lottery is extremely rare. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are about 1 in 292 million; Mega Millions, about 1 in 290.4 million; SuperLotto Plus, 1 in 41.4 million. Scrachers odds vary depending on the game, according to the California Lottery, with the odds of winning any sort of prize across all Scratchers at about 1 in 5. Southern California has been on a roll with — again, exceedingly rare — jackpot prize winners. Two of the four Powerball jackpot winners in 2025 were from SoCal, with a winner picking up $204.5 million at an Arleta 7-Eleven in early June and a $515 million Powerball ticket sold in Anaheim.
