Paige Bueckers' Shirley Temple Gatorade sounds weird, tastes ... good
Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers loves a good Shirley Temple. So, Gatorade made a custom flavor for her and sent it my way. If you're unfamiliar with why Gatorade would go out of its way to make such a strange flavor. Allow me to explain: Bueckers, who partnered with the company in 2021, has never been shy about her love for the classic drink. In fact, she's gone out of her way to tweet about how much they mean to her. Advertisement "I know a Shirley Temple hates to see me coming," Bueckers shared in 2024. After a recent home win against the Golden State Valkyries, Gatorade surprised Bueckers with the limited edition creation, and she was totally stoked. "Shirley Temple is like my favorite drink of all time," she excitedly told the media. "So, they put it in a Gatorade flavor. So, pretty fire." Shout-out to the good folks at Gatorade because they graciously sent me several bottles of Bueckers' favorite flavor, and I tried it. We decided to see if it was actually "pretty fire." Gatorade's Paige Bueckers-inspired Shirley Temple flavor grade: B I won't lie. A Shirley Temple Gatorade sounds absolutely strange ― weird even ― but it tastes ... good? Upon opening the bottle, there's this huge burst of cherry scent, and I knew immediately I was in for a ride. Advertisement However, to my surprise, it tastes exactly how you think Shirley Temple mixed with Gatorade would taste. (It's hard to explain, but those who know, know.) There's a sweet punch of flavor that stands out immediately, and reflects what would typically be the Grenadine syrup from a Shirley Temple. What's more, while there is no ginger ale, there's an odd something (Gatorade magic perhaps?) that hangs in the background, which gives the subtle undertones of ginger ale. The only thing missing from this is the literal cherry Shirley Temples carry to top it all off. This special Gatorade flavor also made me think it would taste amazing frozen. Like a slushie of sorts, or like those flavored Fun Pop sticks we used to eat during the summer as kids. (You know the ones. Those flavored frozen juice tubes probably gave us a brain freeze more times than we care to admit because we ate them so fast. It tastes like that. Hello, nostalgia and Summer in a bottle!) Anyways, this is one of the most Paige Bueckers things I've ever seen, and Gatorade pretty much nailed it as only they can. Kudos to them. It was solid. I probably wouldn't drink it every day ― I'll leave that to Bueckers ― but it was an awesome experience.

Summer 2025 brings killer heat. Here are some surprising ways to stay safe.
Summer 2025 brings killer heat. Here are some surprising ways to stay safe. Show Caption Hide Caption Tips on surviving extreme heat With record-breaking heat waves impacting millions, learn the essential tips on how to stay safe amidst extreme temperatures. Summer 2025 has arrived. It's starting off hot, and the forecast says get used to it. A hot summer isn't just uncomfortable — it's dangerous. Heat killed more people in the United States in 2024 than floods, tornadoes, wind or hurricanes, according to a report on weather-related fatalities published by the National Weather Service. The 30-year average tells the same story. Heat danger comes in many different forms. Sun exposure can damage your skin; sweating dehydrates you; humidity prevents sweat from doing its job; your body stops functioning property when it gets too hot. That can all quickly cascade into a life-threatening or deadly illness, even in otherwise healthy people. Some heat safety tips are obvious — but some are surprising. (Do you know how much water to drink while in the heat? It's probably more than you think.) Here's what to know: Keep your cool: Experts on how to stay safe, avoid sunburns in record-high temps Heat safety basics How long does sunscreen last? A guide to expiration dates, and if waterproof really works Humidity isn't just uncomfortable. What's the heat index? When the humidity is high, sweating isn't as effective at cooling the body. That makes it feel hotter than it is — and increases the danger. The heat index is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature. When the heat index reaches 105 degrees or higher, conditions can quickly become dangerous for both people and pets. A lot. In Arizona, officials recommend drinking about 65 ounces of water a day, even if you're mostly indoors. It's even more urgent for people working outdoors in extreme heat. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration says outdoor workers should drink at least 8 ounces of water every 20 minutes, even if they're not thirsty. If you're drinking 16-ounce bottles of water, that would be 3 bottles every 2 hours. Just drink water? There's more to know. Your body may need to replenish electrolytes – but be careful about sugary or caffeinated drinks if you're trying to stay hydrated. Kelly Olino, assistant professor of surgical oncology at the Yale School of Medicine, previously told USA TODAY that people can dilute a bottle of Gatorade with water to replenish both water and replace salt losses from extended sweating. "In the extreme heat, with sweating, we're losing pure water, but we're also losing salt," she said. From hot to heatstroke: Know how to spot the symptoms of a life-threatening condition Excessive heat and humidity make it difficult for your body to regulate its temperature. Here are some of the signs and symptoms of heat illness, according to the CDC. The National Athletic Trainers' Association says heat stroke can quickly turn deadly. The association says to watch out for: Altered consciousness ("seizures, confusion, emotional instability, irrational behavior or decreased mental acuity") Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea Headache, dizziness or weakness Increased heart rate Decreased blood pressure or fast breathing Dehydration Combativeness A person with a temperature around 104 degrees is in a life-threatening situation — they need immediate medical treatment. One incredibly effective treatment: An ice-filled tub. Contributing: Cybele Mayes-Osterman, USA TODAY; Raphael Romero Ruiz, Arizona Republic; Cheryl McCloud, Pensacola News Journal

And Just Like That recap: Carrie joins the ‘sisterwives'
This story contains spoilers for season three, episode four of And Just Like That... The rooster crows, waking Carrie up from her night in Aidan's guest house. Once Wyatt sticks his head in the window and reports that she's awake, she has to step gently over the floor strewn with Gatorade bottles and free dumbbells. Is this the manosphere I've been hearing so much about? Carrie left her bags in the rental car, you'll remember, which is why we must witness a gorgeous woman with perfect hair insist that she's stinky and repulsive in front of literal teenage boys in the morning. Virginia is not the place our girl belongs, even as she insists on riding an ATV into town to buy Batsheva dresses at a 'sisterwives dress shop'. She gives Miranda an update on the phone, and suggests she invite BBC Joy's friends over to the Gramercy house so Miranda can still go on her first date with her work crush. But that's before another c-word gets in the way. Don't worry, I'm not going to beat this dead horse as much as the show's writers did. But to recap: after learning to breathe an episode ago, Miranda pauses during her big on-camera live cross – right in the middle of the word 'countryside'. Did she just –? She did. And you'll keep hearing it. Over and over. In memes and phone calls. In puns about the word 'context'. The humiliation of Miranda Hobbes is without end, but at least she and Joy share a smooch (which Carrie watches on her Ring doorbell app) by episode's end. Small victories. Seema and LTW are also having work dramas this episode, but when are they not? I wish I cared more that Seema turned down the offer to work for Ryan Serhant (of Million Dollar Listings fame) and has to leave her office, but I just don't. It feels low-stakes and drawn-out. At this point I'm surprised we didn't get a subplot with the assistant she tried to poach who'd never heard of Jerry Maguire. LTW, meanwhile, is yelling the word 'hey!' in her sleep, causing her husband to sleep on the couch. She's anxious and hasn't hired a new editor, but a candidate called Marion might be her saving grace. But – plot twist – he's a hunky man. LTW thinks she'll get cancelled for having a man work on a series about unsung black women. 'Let's move this along, I don't want this conversation played back to me in court,' her PBS editor tells her when she speaks this ridiculous thought out loud.
