MEATER is the first truly wireless smart meat thermometer. Along with the MEATER app, it will help you cook the juiciest steak, chicken, turkey, fish or other meats perfectly every time for every occasion.
Why You Need It in your life: If you are like me you overcook chicken and other things because you just aren’t really paying attention. This is a frustrating thing to have happen. The new thermometer comes in two different platforms, Blue-Tooth Only and Wifi. Given that I have had experience with the Weber BlueTooth only product, I would say, spend the money on the wifi. If you are like me, you are smoking meats and go inside to watch sports and the bluetooth won’t reach. Happy grilling!
100% Wire-Free: No wires. No fuss. The first truly wireless smart meat thermometer.
2 Sensors, 1 Probe: Dual temperature sensors can monitor internal meat temperature and ambient.

Story-2:: Jack and Coke in a Can
Overview: Coca-Cola is partnering with Brown-Forman to make a new canned cocktail combining Coke and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. The combination brings together "two of the world's most recognizable and valuable trademarks," the companies said in a press release and will include "clear responsibility symbols" to indicate the beverage is for legal-aged drinkers. It will typically have 5% alcohol by volume, but that will vary depending on country. The drink, which also will be available in a zero-sugar option, is hitting shelves in Mexico later this year before expanding globally.
Sales of canned cocktails have exploded as drinkers look for convenience and new flavors beyond wine and beer. The beverage category grew 53% last year and is projected to grow another 29% over the next three years, according to data from IWSR Drinks Analysis.
While I am not normally a big Jack Daniel drinker, I know I will want, no need to try this product!
Story-3:: Pharrell Williams - Cash In Cash Out (Official Video) ft. 21 Savage, Tyler, The Creator
Overview: When Pharrell Williams, 21 Savage, and Tyler, The Creator get together, you know it is going to be a solid hit, but the video Directed by François Rousselet is the three artists in what looks like clay versions of themselves in a sort of pinball size rotating display toy thing. While I am doing a sort of terrible job trying to explain it, go watch the video, It is one of the most creative ones I have ever seen. My guess/hope is that if Pharrell is dropping this song, a new album is on the way!

Story-5::How to Light a Cigar
Overview: How to cut and light, a quick tutorial with Eddie Sahakian of Davidoff of London. A few weeks back, I was having a cigar and the person I was with basically called me out and said what are you doing, you don’t like the cigar in your hand you put it in your mouth. I said, no, I am pretty sure I have it right, that you light it in your hand. Well, this is my redemption post to say, yeah bro <<Insert more Klever saying>>. While that last bit is me being petty, I will say, I had the chance you smoke my first Davidoff cigar and they are magical. I just wish they were a few bucks cheaper….. Happy almost summer everyone. Go out and start the BBQ and light up a fresh stick.
