It sure does feel like we are living in The JetsonsWawa is redesigning certain locations by removing all the store's shelves.  Yes, this is real.  Wawa has been going through a lot of changes recently, they are expanding like crazy, I wouldn't be surprised if they start making their way out to the Midwest.  Wawa just announced their first store in Kill Devil Hills North Carolina, and they have so many locations in Florida.  Wawa is always changing their menu, adding and testing new items, we just saw how they rolled out pizza.  They also have new handcrafted Wawa energy drinks, called Wawa Rechargers, which you can order from the kiosk. I'll always shout my love for the Wawa soft pretzel. People still think they have their old ones which had a wetness to them, but the new ones are delicious and definitely give it a try.

The new format is designed to be faster and more efficient, but it will not result in the elimination of any jobs at the store, Wawa told the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The idea is to "test a full-service Wawa shopping experience with all items purchased digitally via the Wawa app or through in-store touch screens, with all orders fulfilled by Wawa associates," Wawa spokesperson Lori Bruce told NBC10.

The first-of-its-kind Wawa located at 3300 Market Street in the University City on Drexel's campus is being used as a test location, according to Wawa. It's the only Wawa currently running under this format.  It makes sense to have it be this location, it's in the Philadelphia area, it's on Drexel's campus, very close to the University of Pennsylvania as well as UPenn Hospital and CHOP. It's heavy foot traffic and the majority of people going to this location are young people, so it's smart of Wawa to see how it does with the younger generation.


Food Safety Experts Reveal The ONLY 4 Foods That Are Safe To Cut Mold Off To Eat

It's safe to say that at some point we have all done it. You're hungry, excited to enjoy some food, and you notice a littleeee mold on it. So you think, oh I'm sure it's fine, it's nature. Well turns out you're half right. Now, food safety experts reveal the only four foods that are safe to cut mold off to eat.

Sylvia Anderson, a food safety expert, revealed foods that are and aren't safe with mold. She said it's because some have higher moisture content than others.

Some molds are dangerous on foods because they can cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems. A few molds can also emit 'mycotoxins' into foods, which are poisonous substances that can cause food poisoning.

It really has to do with our porous the foods are, and how it can penetrate into the rest of the food. Sylvia Anderson, the food safety expert, revealed the only four foods that are safe to cut mold off to eat and I was definitely surprised.
