Sriracha sauce is selling for as much as $120 amid prolonged shortage

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:14:38 GMT

New York (CNN) — The prolonged shortage of a certain red sauce is making the black market go wild.Prices of Sriracha sauce are as high as $70 on eBay as people look to snap up the spicy sauce — and they’re even steeper on Amazon, up to $124. Huy Fong Foods, which makes the rooster-adorned bottled sauce, has been dealing with a years-long shortage of the chilis, which is hurting production and causing some shortages.A search on eBay shows prices for various sized bottles ranging from $39.98 for 17-ounce bottles to a 28-ounce bottle for nearly $70. In both instances, shipping is an additional fee, jacking up the price even more.Prices are even higher on Amazon, where one seller is offering a 2-pack for $124. Of course, it’s unclear if anyone is actually paying these exorbitant prices, considering a 17-ounce bottle typically costs around $5.The company recently told CNN that it’s still experiencing a shortage of raw materials. “Although some production did resume this past fall season,...

Police are searching for a criminal who broke the window and front door of an establishment in Miami. Ms. Cheezious, a restaurant located at 7418 Biscayne Boulevard, has fallen victim to another mischievous crime after surveillance video captured a man walking in front of the building moments before the business was damaged. The owner of the restaurant, Brian Mullins, discovered the damage Thursday morning and took to Instagram to find the identity of the man.“[This was] a random person with a bag of rocks repeatedly smashing a window trying to, I assume, get in,” said Mullins. “He was here for a while continuously hitting the window. He hit the window probably 13 or 14 times.”Police are now investigating the incident after they received the video footage. Ms. Cheesious, known for its award-winning grilled cheese, has been targeted in May when a different person broke a window with a rock. In one month, the owner has dealt with approximately $6,000 worth...

Hot car deaths can be prevented with this new technology

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:14:38 GMT

(CNN) — One hot June day in Louisiana, Tyler Cestia was supposed to drop his son off at a babysitter before continuing on to work. His two-year-old boy, Thomas, asked to ride in the “big boy seat,” the child safety seat his older brother usually rode in, the one right behind the driver’s seat. Once he was buckled in, it was nearly impossible to see him from the driver’s seat, and he didn’t make a sound.“He was pretty quiet whenever we’d ride,” Tyler Cestia said. “I keep it in my mind that he was asleep.”Cestia, a manager at a welding company, had a big financial audit coming up at work that day, and he had a safety presentation to give in the morning. With Thomas silent and not visible, the stop at the babysitter just slipped his mind. The outside temperature peaked at almost 90 degrees that day. Temperatures inside of Cestia’s parked GMC Sierra pickup would have been well over 100 degrees.Thomas died strapped into his safety seat, as his small body was simply overcome by ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:14:38 GMT

Federal prosecutors are dropping charges against two parents whose convictions in the sprawling college admissions bribery scandal were overturned by an appeals court, prosecutors said Thursday.The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in May tossed all the convictions against Gamal Abdelaziz and all but one conviction of another parent, John Wilson. The Boston-based appeals court upheld Wilson’s conviction on a charge of filing a false tax return.The Massachusetts U.S. attorney’s office told the judge in court papers that it’s dismissing those charges tossed by the 1st Circuit, and asked to set a new sentencing date for Wilson on the tax count.Wilson had been sentenced last year to 15 months in prison and Abdelaziz was sentenced to a year behind bars, after jurors found them guilty in 2021 of buying their kids’ ways into school in the first case to go to trial in the so-called “Operation Varsity Blues” scandal. A court later agreed that they could re...

By TARA COPP and NOMAAN MERCHANT (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. Sergei Surovikin, the deputy commander of the Russian group of forces fighting in Ukraine, is believed to have been detained days after mercenaries staged a revolt inside Russia, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Thursday, citing U.S. and Ukrainian intelligence assessments.The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.It’s not clear whether Surovikin faces any charges or where he is being held, reflecting the opaque world of the Kremlin’s politics and uncertainty after the revolt. But his reported detention comes days after Wagner Group mercenaries took over the military headquarters in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and were heading toward Moscow in what appears to have been an aborted insurrection.Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin has spoken positively of Surovikin while criticizing the country’...
