Viral Video Of "Heart Attack Amritsari Kulcha" Leaves The Internet Concerned

Indian street food is a paradise for foodies. With people constantly experimenting with flavours, we often come across unique and quirky dishes. One such video recently went viral, and it has got everyone talking. It features a vendor in Amritsar serving kulcha with chole, but here is the twist – the ghee. And not just a drizzle, we are talking a lot of ghee, enough to make even the most hardcore ghee fans pause. While some were intrigued by this indulgent creation, many internet users expressed their disapproval, calling out the excessive use of ghee.

The now-viral video shared on Instagram starts with the vendor proudly introducing his food stall, where he claims to serve an impressive 25 types of kulchas. The process begins with him mashing up all the ingredients to prepare the stuffing for the kulcha. Once stuffed, he places it in a tandoor and slow-cooks it. But here is where things take a turn. After pulling the kulcha out of the tandoor, he drenches it in an almost shocking amount of ghee. Finally, the dish is served alongside chole and topped with a generous helping of cheese shavings. "Heart Attack AMRITSARI KULCHA?" read the text attached to the post.

This quirky kulcha creation has sparked a fun debate among foodies.

This light puffer jacket offers exceptional temperature regulation and durability. On the outside, its 100% recycled polyester ripstop fabric is coated with a DWR finish, so moisture and light precipitation will bead up and roll off instead of soaking the jacket. It's stuffed with 60-gram PrimaLoft Gold synthetic insulation that's water-repellent and made with 100% recycled content. Elastic cuffs and a dual-drawcord hem help you cinch down the jacket for a snug fit that blocks cold breezes, and two zippered hand warmer pockets and an interior zippered pocket keep your essentials secure. The interior pocket also doubles as a stuff sack, so you can pack down this jacket and throw it in a backpack or suitcase when traveling.

Reviewers have been thrilled with the Nano Puff's stellar performance and go-anywhere versatility. "Phenomenal—the perfect everyday jacket," a shopper said. "I have lived in the Pacific Northwest and Texas, and this jacket is my go-to for basically every occasion. It keeps me warm enough in the fall and spring days, and it's easy to layer during winter. It fits perfectly under a shell."

'Landman' Finale Freaked Out Jon Hamm's Family: 'Why Didn't You Tell Us?'

Spoiler alert: For Jon Hamm's character in Landman, Taylor Sheridan's Paramount+ hit about the oil business, it's one and done as far as seasons go.

The show's co-creator Christian Wallace confirmed after the finale aired on Jan. 11 that Hamm's oil tycoon character in the show, Monty Miller, died from a heart attack.

Hamm spoke with The Hollywood Reporter post-finale about what drew him to the show and reactions to him dying onscreen. He said he was "mystified" about how good the show ended up being.

The Mad Men star admitted he couldn't recall if he'd died in any previous roles, but he heard from family about this one in particular.

"My sister texted me and said, 'I can't believe I had to watch you die on screen,'" he said. "I was like, 'Haven't you seen that before?'" And she was like, 'No!'"

The actor marveled at his costars, Demi Moore and Billy Bob Thornton, remarking that working with them was truly outstanding and made having to leave the show, via a death, that much easier.

"I just can't imagine it being any more exiting or fun," he said. "Who gets to be present at their own death, you know?"

Next up for Hamm will be the Apple TV+ series Your Friends and Neighbors on April 11, in which he plays a divorced and unemployed hedge fund manager who begins to dabble in thievery. Amanda Peet costars.

All 10 episodes of the first season of Landman can be streamed via Paramount+ now.

McDonald’s Makes Tough Decision About Future of Spin-Off Cosmc’s

McDonald’s has made a surprising decision to shutter nearly half its spinoff locations just one year after they launched (via The New York Post).

In December 2023, McDonald’s launched CosMc’s, a space-themed, snack-centric spin-off designed to compete with Starbucks and Dunkin. The flagship location in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook drew massive crowds and fervent fans anxious to try the restaurant’s menu full of brand-new items and treats from international McDonald’s menus heretofore unavailable on our shores. A further six locations quickly popped up, all located in Texas. But CosMc’s 15 minutes of fame was more like a tight 10; the chain receded into a distant viral memory almost as quickly as it appeared.

Now, McDonald’s is pulling the plug on nearly half of its CosMc’s restaurants, closing three of its six Texas stores. But all is not yet lost. Globest reported that the closures are actually part of McDonald’s plan to experiment with smaller-format CosMc’s locations. After the three larger locations are shuttered, McDonald’s will open two smaller CosMc’s in the same area. The company hopes this will enable more eclectic food and drink offerings and further experimentation with new menu items that will appeal to its core customers.

“We have had the benefit of testing out different location sizes and setups—from revamping larger restaurant spaces to building smaller prototype locations that focus more on the drive-thru and digital experience,” McDonald's said in a statement. “It has increased our overall knowledge of the beverage space allowing us to make thoughtful updates to the menu as the brand and concept has grown.”

A May 2024 study by Placer.ai found that CosMc’s was attracting a larger number of high-income customers than McDonald’s, Dunkin, and Starbucks. A separate Placer.ai survey, published last April, found that CosMc’s was significantly besting its competitors with late-afternoon foot traffic.

‘Deteriorating’ Olympic Medals Lead to Hundreds of Complaints

The controversy over “deteriorating” Olympic medals from the 2024 Paris games rages on, with reports that hundreds of athletes have requested replacement medals since last summer’s event.

An investigative report published Monday by French outlet La Lettre, the outlet which broke the news of the medals’ apparent cheap quality and manufacturing price in January 2024, claimed that over 100 Olympic and Paralympic athletes have contacted the Monnaie de Paris requesting replacement medals in the four months since the games. The Monnaie de Paris, the institution responsible for making France’s coins, produced more than 5,000 medals for the Paris games.

La Lettre reported that the French mint terminated three employees from its production and quality departments due to their involvement in the fiasco; but in a statement to People, the Monnaie de Paris called that claim “false.” Though the institution declined to confirm the exact number of complaints related to “damaged medals,” they confirmed that they’re working alongside 2024’s Olympic Organizing Committee "to assess medal claims and understand the circumstances and cause of damage."

In a separate statement to People, the French mint confirmed that the "replacement of [some] damaged medals has been initiated,” and promised that "all damaged medals will be replaced and identically engraved at the request of athletes during the first quarter of 2025."

A number of athletes have lodged public complaints about the quality and swift deterioration of their Olympic medals since the games concluded in August. American skateboarder Nyjah Houston, who won bronze in the men’s street skateboarding final, posted photos showing the rapid decline of his prize within just a few days. “It's looking rough!” Houston said in a since-deleted Instagram Story. “Even the front is starting to chip off a little. So I don't know…Olympic medals, you gotta maybe step up the quality a little bit.”

Supima cotton is widely regarded as one of the softest fabrics. In this Brooks Brothers shirt, the fabric pairs with an English spread collar and six-pleat shirring to give it the stretch you need for all-day comfort. Even when daily life gets in the way and you don’t have time to get wrinkles out, this shirt features the brand's non-iron tech and remains virtually wrinkle-free. It comes in three fits (slim, regular, and traditional), nine neck sizes, and five sleeve lengths. If that customization isn’t enough, you can even monogram the shirt for an extra $12.

“These shirts are amazing,” one reviewer praised. “They feel soft, fit really well, and the patterns look great. The non-iron feature is so convenient—I just wash, dry, and wear it. Definitely a great buy.”
