▼ + stars: | 2024-09-24 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

Raspberry Pi, the British computer company that floated in June, reported on Tuesday stronger-than-expected adjusted earnings of $20.9 million for the first half, sending its shares up 7% in early trade. The group, which produces low-cost single-board computers and microcontrollers, said it sold marginally fewer devices than it expected, but sales were skewed towards higher margin products, boosting profitability. Its flagship Raspberry Pi5,which retails for 46.60 pounds ($62.24) for the 2GB model, sold 1.1 million units in the six months to the end of June, it said. It said it expected volumes to increase in the second half, supported by product launches, but the mix would result in margins returning to lower levels and it kept its expectations for the year unchanged.

☆ Coca-Cola is pulling Spiced, its newest ‘permanent’ flavor, from store shelves
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-24 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —Coca-Cola is discontinuing the production of its new Spiced flavor just six months after the soda hit shelves, marking the end of a disappointing attempt to attract younger drinkers. “As part of this strategy, we’re planning to phase out Coca-Cola Spiced to introduce an exciting new flavor in 2025,” a spokesperson said. The short lifespan of Spiced Coke is surprising, because the company promoted it as a permanent flavor. Coca-Cola introduced Spiced Coke in February with a splashy ad campaign. The beverage blended the traditional Coke flavor with raspberry notes.

☆ Hershey is turning its candy into energy drinks and protein powders

New York CNN —With its line-up of sweet snacks, Hershey isn’t known as a purveyor of diet foods. As the use of weight-loss drugs — notably Ozempic and Wegovy — grows, the 130-year-old confectionery company is adjusting to this new era by pushing further into the wellness category with protein powders and energy drinks in popular candy flavors. Hershey’s namesake milk chocolate and Reese’s peanut butter and chocolate will soon be sold as protein powders and its Jolly Rancher candies will be turned into bubbly energy drinks. Energy drinks, which are most often bought by millennial and Gen Z customers, have “a lot of affinity” with Hershey’s products, Cunningham told CNN. C4 has already had success with using flavors from Skittles, Starburst and Popsicle for its other energy drinks.

▼ + stars: | 2024-08-13 | by ( Pascale Mondesir | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: 1 min

I had to use an immersion blender to make Guy Fieri's sauce. Then the recipe called for minced garlic and ginger, apple-cider vinegar, frozen raspberries, raspberry jam, and molasses. Once it was done cooking, I used an immersion blender to puree the sauce, and then a sieve to catch any raspberry seeds. This part wasn't fun because the sauce was relatively thick, so it took a while to drip through the sieve. And then my sieve broke, so couldn't get every seed out of the sauce, which ended up being fine.

☆ Supreme Court medication abortion case threatens ‘seismic shift’ in FDA drug approval process, experts warn

If the Supreme Court agrees with the appeals court, the approval of mifepristone could be reset to where it stood before 2016, limiting telehealth access to medication abortion and reimplementing other restrictions. “Nevertheless, drug developers invest in new medicines because, if their investments succeed, FDA’s rigorous drug approvals and subsequent regulatory actions are sturdy enough to facilitate reliable returns. “And without necessary investment, drug development would freeze, stifling innovation and limiting treatment options for patients.”Of course, if the Supreme Court upholds the appeals court decision, the most immediate impact would be to mifepristone itself. “It is both my hope and my ‘bet’ that the court doesn’t uphold the 5th Circuit on the standing argument,” Cohen wrote. “But I have learned the Supreme Court is hard to predict much of the time.”
