Google says "coffee" searches in the U.S. hit a new high in December, and it's the most-searched drink of all time worldwide. Here are a few more coffee stats.
1. "Bacon flavored coffee." It was the top trending "flavored coffee" search last week. Yes, it's something you can buy now.
2. "Coffee flavored cereal" is the top "coffee flavored" thing we've been searching for. Dunkin' started selling some a few years ago, but it's discontinued. A brand called OffLimits sells a coffee-flavored cereal called Dash.
3. "Latte art" searches hit an all-time high in January. A ton of people have also been searching for a latte art tool called a "cinnamon pen."
4. "Iced coffee tastings" are something you can do now. Ohio is obsessed.
5. "Latte perfume" searches are up 2,500% over the past year. New Jersey is searching for it the most.

Ariana Grande has announced a "dream" collaboration.
The "thank u, next" singer revealed she will drop a remix of her song "Yes, And?" featuring Mariah Carey this Friday.
She says, "It means more to me than i could ever possibly articulate and i cannot wait for everyone to hear this ! i love you eternally."'
Ariana's new album, Eternal Sunshine, will be out in March.
Not sure if we'll get another single from the album before it's out, as she says, "As hard as it is to resist the urge to share another song or single with you all asap, i would really love for you to experience the album in full this time." She added that "there will of course be more singles off of this project once it is out," and "we may have a little surprise or two up our sleeves to hold you over until then so don't you worry."

The self-proclaimed "only Post who worked at Kellogg" was a military veteran who fought in World War II before inventing everyone’s favorite fruit-filled breakfast ravioli died at 96.
We are talking about the Pop Tart.
Delish reported that a book called “American Food by the Decades” notes that the original name for these delectable treats was “Fruit Scones,” but the moniker was changed after Andy Warhol and his 1960s pop art inspired the branding.
Today’s Useless Fact of the Day - The original Pop-Tarts, which went to market in November of 1964, came in apple currant, blueberry, cinnamon sugar, and Post’s favorite: strawberry.
