Pop-Tart Ice Cream taste test: FOX 5 News Edge anchors
SUMMARY: FOX 5 News Edge anchors conducted a taste test of the new Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwiches unveiled by parent company Kilonova, available at Walmart. The flavors tested were Strawberry, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, and Chocolate Fudge. DJ Shockley was skeptical, calling them a “no,” while others were more optimistic. They all tried the sandwiches together, noting the challenge of toasting with ice cream inside. The Strawberry flavor emerged as the favorite, praised for its classic taste. Brown Sugar Cinnamon was less popular, and Chocolate Fudge received mixed reactions. Despite some hesitation, the novel ice cream sandwiches sparked curiosity and viral social media buzz.

Last week, the anchors on FOX 5 News Edge at 11 p.m. reported on Pop-Tarts coming out with a new line of ice cream sandwiches. The product has gone viral and now the team gets to try it themselves.

Walmart raising prices due to tariff costs
SUMMARY: Walmart’s first-quarter profit fell to $4.45 billion, or 56 cents per share, down from $5.10 billion a year ago, though adjusted earnings beat estimates. Revenue rose 2.5% to $165.61 billion, with strong sales in health, wellness, and groceries, offsetting weaker home goods. The retailer expects 3.5%-4.5% sales growth next quarter but issued no profit outlook due to tariff uncertainties. President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods are pressuring Walmart to raise prices despite efforts to absorb costs. Two-thirds of Walmart’s merchandise is U.S.-sourced, but CEO Doug McMillon said narrow margins limit absorption of tariff costs.
