When Juneteenth Meets Cake Gate: The Kroger Juneteenth Cakes Drama You Can’t Unsee
Just when you thought 2025 couldn’t get any weirder, Kroger has entered the chat with what might be the most unfortunate bakery blunder of the year. A TikTok video showing some questionably decorated Juneteenth cakes at an Atlanta Kroger store has gone viral faster than you can say “Free @ Last” in Comic Sans frosting. Let’s slice into this frosting fiasco that’s got social media users bringing out their best cake puns and righteous indignation. Why Krogers Juneteenth Cakes Went Viral: A Baker’s Dozen of Drama The infamous Kroger Juneteenth cakes that sparked the controversy It all started when TikToker @blaq.monalisa visited her local Kroger in Atlanta, Georgia, and stumbled upon what can only be described as a frosting catastrophe. The video, which now has over 10 million views, shows several cookie cakes with hastily scrawled messages like “FREE,” “June 19 Free,” and the internet’s favorite: “Free @ Last” (complete with the @ symbol, because nothing says “emancipation from slavery” quite like internet shorthand). “This is some bulls***,” the TikToker declared in the video. “Who the hell made this ugly a** s***? Y’all decorate everything else around here cute, everything else around here cute. But for Juneteenth, you wanna just throw something on a freaking cookie cake and expect someone to buy it?” The contrast was clear as day – beautifully decorated birthday cakes and other treats sitting just shelves away from these half-hearted Juneteenth offerings. It was the bakery equivalent of turning in your homework after doing it on the bus ride to school. What Kroger’s PR team probably wished they could do The Internet’s Reaction: A Crumb-tastrophe of Comments The comments section exploded faster than an overfilled pastry bag, with users expressing everything from outrage to dark humor about the cakes. “‘Free @ last’ is diabolical,” wrote one TikTok user, while another added, “They were better off just not acknowledging Juneteenth.” One particularly creative commenter noted, “If you didn’t bring up Juneteenth, I would’ve thought it was a welcome home from jail cake.” Ouch. That’s the kind of burn not even a baker’s oven could match. TikTok reacts to the Kroger cake situation The video quickly spread beyond TikTok, with Reddit users debating whether this was a case of malice or just understaffing. One alleged Kroger employee wrote, “I understand that people here are overworked and underpaid like crazy. However, admittedly these cakes are not the best looking and def could’ve been made better.” Others pointed out that “it was probably someone with minimal training and not much time, doing their best.” Which begs the question – if you don’t have time to do it right, should you be doing it at all? Kroger’s Response: Damage Control with a Cherry on Top Kroger’s calendar for next year might need some revisions Kroger quickly went into damage control mode, releasing a statement that the cakes were “inconsistent with our provided guidance and not of the quality we would expect to see from our stores.” The company confirmed that the products had been removed and that they had “addressed this directly with the store teams and the customer who took the initial video.” Translation: Someone in the bakery department had a very uncomfortable meeting with management. In a follow-up TikTok, @blaq.monalisa confirmed the cakes had indeed been removed, but noted, “I still feel some type of way that they didn’t replace them with better Juneteenth cakes.” Fair point – removing the problem without providing a solution is like scraping burnt cookies into the trash without making a new batch. The aftermath: Empty shelves where the controversial cakes once stood A Brief History Lesson: What Juneteenth Actually Celebrates For those who might need a refresher, Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that enslaved people were free – a full two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The holiday has deep historical significance and has been celebrated in various forms since 1866. In 2021, it became a federal holiday, marking an important recognition of this crucial moment in American history. From historical celebration to cookie cake controversy Which makes it all the more important that celebrations and commemorations of the day be done with care, respect, and maybe just a touch more effort than what was on display at that Atlanta Kroger. Not the First Frosting Fiasco: A Pattern of Problematic Products This isn’t the first time a major retailer has faced backlash over Juneteenth-themed products. In 2022, Walmart pulled its Juneteenth-themed ice cream after critics labeled it “the epitome of white supremacy in action” and accused the company of trying to capitalize on a Black holiday rather than highlighting existing Black-owned ice cream brands. The growing collection of Juneteenth marketing mishaps Then in 2023, Walmart was in hot water again with watermelon-themed Juneteenth cakes. While watermelon and red-colored foods are traditionally associated with Juneteenth celebrations, many commenters still found the execution “tacky.” It seems like major retailers might need to invest in some cultural sensitivity training before next year’s holiday – or maybe just consult with literally anyone from the communities that have been celebrating Juneteenth for generations. Lessons in Frosting: What Brands Can Learn A quick guide for brands on what not to do If there’s anything to be learned from this frosting fiasco, it’s that half-hearted attempts at cultural recognition often do more harm than good. Here are some takeaways for brands: If you’re going to acknowledge a cultural holiday, do it with the same care and attention you’d give to any other celebration Consult with members of the communities you’re trying to honor Train your staff appropriately – don’t leave them to figure it out on their own Consider whether your recognition is adding value or just trying to capitalize on a moment When you mess up (because sometimes you will), apologize sincerely and do better next time Or, as one commenter put it more succinctly: “They were better off just not acknowledging Juneteenth.”
Big Ben, Peaceful Shopping, and My London Escape: Why TGIC Missed Me
So, you might have noticed I’ve been MIA from TGIC lately. No, I wasn’t abducted by aliens or trapped in an endless Netflix binge (though both sound equally plausible). I was actually living it up across the pond, soaking in the majesty of London! That’s right – while you were wondering where your favorite content creator disappeared to, I was busy dodging red double-decker buses and attempting to make the Queen’s Guard crack a smile. Spoiler alert: they’re professionals at the poker face game. My London travel experience was everything I’d hoped for and more – a perfect blend of historical awe and retail therapy that left me refreshed, inspired, and with a slightly lighter wallet. Let me take you through my adventure that was worth every moment away from TGIC (though I missed you all terribly, of course). London’s Timeless Beauty: More Than Just a Pretty Skyline Big Ben: The only thing taller than my post-trip laundry pile London hit me like a double-shot of espresso – instantly energizing and slightly overwhelming. The city pulses with a unique rhythm that somehow blends centuries-old tradition with cutting-edge modernity. It’s like watching Shakespeare perform a TikTok dance – bizarrely perfect. My first encounter with Big Ben left me properly gobsmacked (see how I’m picking up the local lingo?). Standing at the foot of this iconic timekeeper, I couldn’t help but think that Big Ben’s clock face is more punctual than all my morning alarms combined. While my phone snooze button gets a daily workout, this magnificent timepiece has been reliably ticking away since 1859. “Look at that absolute unit of a clock,” I whispered to myself, probably concerning nearby tourists. The Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben’s actual home – the bell itself is what’s technically named Big Ben) stands proudly at 96 meters tall. That’s approximately 316 feet of pure architectural showing-off. Ready for Your Own London Adventure? Don’t just read about my London travel experience – create your own memories with Big Ben, the Thames, and all the iconic sights London has to offer! Explore London’s Top Attractions Westminster: Where History Meets My Terrible Sense of Direction Westminster Abbey: Where I pretended to understand Gothic architecture After my Big Ben encounter, I wandered (read: got completely lost) around Westminster. The Houses of Parliament stretch majestically along the Thames, looking exactly like they do in every British period drama ever made. I half expected to see the cast of The Crown filming nearby. Westminster Abbey left me in awe with its intricate Gothic architecture and centuries of royal history. Did you know that every British monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned here? That’s over 900 years of people saying “I do” to wearing extremely heavy headgear! The Thames River itself deserves special mention. It winds through London like a liquid timeline, connecting historical landmarks with modern marvels. I took a river cruise that offered spectacular views of the London Eye, Tower Bridge, and the Shard – all while a tour guide dropped historical facts faster than I could snap photos. The London Eye: Where my fear of heights met my love of views Speaking of the London Eye – yes, I conquered it despite my mild fear of heights. The 30-minute rotation offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. I could see up to 40 kilometers in all directions on the clear day I visited. Worth every pound and minor panic attack! Navigating London: The Tube, My Temporary Underground Home The Tube: Where I perfected my “I totally know where I’m going” face Let’s talk about the London Underground, affectionately known as the Tube. This marvel of public transportation saved my feet countless times during my London travel experience. The colorful map initially looked like a plate of spaghetti thrown against the wall, but I quickly learned to navigate it like a semi-competent local. My first Tube ride involved me standing on the wrong side of the escalator (rookie mistake – stand on the right, walk on the left) and nearly causing a commuter pileup. The death glares I received could have powered the entire Underground system for a week. The Oyster card became my best friend. This little blue card is your key to London’s public transportation kingdom. Just tap in, tap out, and try not to look too confused when someone mentions “minding the gap.” Pro tip: using contactless payment on your credit card works just as well if you don’t want to purchase an Oyster card for a short visit. The Tube stops running around 11:30 pm, which I discovered after a night out in Soho. Nothing makes you appreciate London’s black cabs like realizing you’re stranded miles from your hotel at midnight! Red double-decker buses are another iconic way to get around. They’re slightly slower than the Tube but offer the advantage of actually seeing the city as you travel. I spent one afternoon on the top deck of a bus, pretending I was on a budget sightseeing tour while actually just trying to get to Covent Garden. Westfield Mall: Where My Credit Card Went to Die Where my wallet cried, but my soul found zen After days of historical sightseeing, I craved a different kind of London experience – enter Westfield Shopping Centre. This retail paradise is where I discovered the true meaning of “peaceful shopping” amid London’s usual hustle and bustle. Westfield is massive – we’re talking 2.6 million square feet of shopping space. That’s roughly the size of 38 football fields or, in my case, an entire day of getting lost between designer boutiques and high street favorites. The mall’s spacious design creates an atmosphere that feels surprisingly calm despite being in one of the world’s busiest cities. I debated buying a crown at Westfield – turns out they’re not included with the shopping bags, despite this being England. Instead, I settled for some quintessentially British souvenirs and clothing items that screamed “I’ve been to London” without actually having those words printed
Stealing Fries and Other Crimes of Love: Unwritten Rules of Food Sharing in Relationships (That Everyone Breaks!)
You look away for one second, and suddenly half your fries are gone. Your partner smiles innocently, as if they haven’t just committed the most predictable crime in the history of dining out. Is this food theft an act of love or a betrayal worthy of relationship counseling? The unwritten rules of sharing food exist in that delicious gray area between intimacy and territorial rage – and we’re about to decode them all. Whether you’re a protective plate-guarder or a generous food-sharer, understanding these unofficial guidelines can save relationships, prevent hangry arguments, and maybe even bring you closer together. After all, nothing says “I love you” quite like letting someone have the last bite of your chocolate lava cake… or does it? The Great Food-Sharing Debate: Love vs. Betrayal The Love Side: “What’s Mine is Yours” According to relationship experts, sharing food actually creates a unique bond between people. Studies have shown that couples who regularly share meals report higher relationship satisfaction. It’s not just about the food – it’s about the intimate act of literally sharing sustenance. When your partner reaches over for one of your fries, they’re essentially saying, “We’re close enough that boundaries don’t exist between us.” It’s a small but meaningful gesture that reinforces your connection. The psychology behind food sharing suggests it’s one of our most primal ways of showing trust and affection. As relationship therapist Dr. Maya Coleman puts it: “Food sharing creates a sense of unity. When we allow someone into our ‘food space,’ we’re demonstrating a level of comfort that’s actually quite profound from an evolutionary perspective.” The Betrayal Side: “Hands Off My Plate!” On the other hand, there’s something deeply irritating about someone taking food you’ve been looking forward to. The “hangry” phenomenon is real – that dangerous combination of hunger and anger that makes food theft feel like a personal attack. Our territorial instincts around food are hardwired. Historically, guarding your resources meant survival. So when someone swipes the french fry you were specifically saving for last (you know, that perfect, extra-crispy one), your brain might register it as a genuine threat. Food territoriality isn’t just about being selfish. It’s about autonomy and respect. As one survey respondent eloquently put it: “I ordered exactly what I wanted in exactly the amount I wanted. Your failure to do the same is not my emergency.” The Unwritten Rules of Sharing Food: A Survival Guide After extensive “research” (watching couples fight over appetizers at restaurants), we’ve compiled the definitive guide to the unwritten rules of sharing food. Follow these guidelines to maintain both your relationship and your appetite. Rule #1: The Fry Theft Protocol When it comes to fries, the “ask forgiveness, not permission” policy often applies. A single fry taken without asking might be acceptable, but a handful crosses into criminal territory. The proper technique is to make eye contact first, reach slowly, and limit yourself to one or two. Anything more requires verbal consent. Pro tip: If you’re the one being stolen from, the internationally recognized signal for “these fries are not communal property” is moving your plate slightly further away while maintaining direct eye contact. Rule #2: The Last Bite Doctrine The last bite of any shared food item holds special significance. It’s the culmination of the meal, often the most perfectly constructed bite with the ideal ratio of ingredients. There are three acceptable approaches to the Last Bite Dilemma: The Offer: “You take it” (while secretly hoping they’ll insist you have it) The Split: Dividing it with surgical precision into two equal parts The Rightful Owner: Whoever ordered it gets first right of refusal Under no circumstances should you simply take the last bite without acknowledgment. That’s how you end up sleeping on the couch. Rule #3: Sauce Sovereignty Dipping sauces exist in a complex legal territory. When it comes to shared condiments, double-dipping is the equivalent of a felony offense. The proper protocol: Break your food item in half if you plan to dip again Request a separate dipping container if you’re a known sauce enthusiast Never, ever dip after licking your fingers Remember: sauce consent is crucial. Just because ketchup is on the table doesn’t mean it’s automatically communal. Some people have very specific ketchup-to-fry ratios they’re trying to maintain. Rule #4: The “I’m Not Hungry” Paradox We’ve all been there. Your dining companion insists they’re “not that hungry” and declines to order their own meal. Then, mysteriously, they develop an intense interest in your food once it arrives. The unwritten rule here is simple: if you declare yourself “not hungry,” you forfeit your right to more than three bites of someone else’s food. After the third bite, you must either admit your hunger and order something or sit in silent regret of your poor decision-making. For the food owner: it’s considered good form to offer a small portion upfront to the “not hungry” person, thereby establishing clear boundaries about how much you’re willing to share. Food Sharing Confessions: True Stories from the Frontlines “My husband and I have been married for 12 years. In that time, he has never once ordered dessert for himself, yet somehow has eaten half of every dessert I’ve ever ordered. We now have a pre-ordering ritual where I ask if he wants dessert, he says no, and I automatically order two spoons.” — Sarah, 37 “I once dated a guy who would eat all the cookie dough chunks out of my ice cream when I wasn’t looking. I caught him red-handed one night and ended things the next day. My friends thought I was overreacting, but I stand by my decision. Some lines you just don’t cross.” — Miguel, 29 “My wife and I have a system. If she wants some of my food, she has to offer me a bite of hers first as a ‘trade fee.’ It started as a joke, but now it’s a sacred rule in our relationship. The funny thing is, I usually don’t even
Juneteenth 2025: Is It a Federal Holiday? Uncover the History, Meaning & Best Ways to Celebrate
Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in American history – the day when the last enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom. This celebration of liberation has grown from local Texas traditions to national recognition. As awareness of this significant day continues to expand, many wonder about its official status and how best to honor its meaning. Join us as we explore the rich history of Juneteenth, its federal holiday designation, and the meaningful ways Americans commemorate this day of freedom. What Is Juneteenth? Juneteenth, a combination of the words “June” and “nineteenth,” commemorates June 19, 1865 – the day when Major General Gordon Granger and approximately 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas. On this historic day, they delivered General Order No. 3, officially informing the last 250,000 enslaved African Americans in Texas that they were free. “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.” General Order No. 3, delivered by Major General Gordon Granger, June 19, 1865 What makes this date particularly significant is that it came a full two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. While the proclamation technically freed slaves in Confederate states, enforcement relied on the advancement of Union troops. Texas, being the most remote Confederate state, was the last to receive this life-changing news. The first Juneteenth celebrations began the following year in 1866, with prayer meetings, singing of spirituals, and the wearing of new clothes to symbolize newfound freedom. These celebrations quickly spread as formerly enslaved Texans migrated to other states, carrying their traditions with them. Explore Juneteenth’s Historical Roots Discover primary historical documents, including the original General Order No. 3 and accounts from those who experienced the first Juneteenth. View Historical Documents Is Juneteenth a Federal Holiday? Yes, Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States. On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, making Juneteenth the 11th federal holiday and the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983. The path to federal recognition was long and championed by many activists, most notably Opal Lee, often called the “Grandmother of Juneteenth.” At 89 years old, Lee walked from her home in Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., to raise awareness about the importance of making Juneteenth a national holiday. Prior to federal recognition, Juneteenth had already been established as a state holiday or observance in many parts of the country: Texas became the first state to officially recognize Juneteenth in 1980 By 2021, 47 states and the District of Columbia recognized Juneteenth as a holiday or observance Federal employees now receive a paid day off on June 19 (or the nearest weekday if it falls on a weekend) Many businesses, universities, and organizations have also begun observing the holiday The official name is “Juneteenth National Independence Day” Also known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, and Jubilee Day When signing the legislation, President Biden remarked: “Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of slavery and subjugation, and a promise of a brighter morning to come… By making Juneteenth a federal holiday, all Americans can feel the power of this day, and learn from our history.” While Juneteenth is now a federal holiday, celebrations and observances vary widely across the country. Some states have additional commemorations on different dates that mark when emancipation was announced in their specific region. The Juneteenth Flag: Symbols of Freedom The Juneteenth flag, created in 1997 by activist Ben Haith and later revised in 2000 with illustrator Lisa Jeanne-Graf, has become an important symbol of the holiday. The flag’s design is rich with meaning: The Colors The red, white, and blue mirror the American flag, symbolizing that the formerly enslaved people were and are Americans. The Star The white star represents Texas (the Lone Star State) where the last enslaved people learned of their freedom, as well as the freedom of African Americans in all 50 states. The Burst The burst around the star represents a nova or “new star,” symbolizing a new beginning for African Americans. The flag also features an arc that divides the red and blue sections, representing a new horizon and the promising future that awaited newly freed slaves. In 2007, the date “June 19, 1865” was added to the flag to commemorate the specific day freedom finally reached Texas. Today, the Juneteenth flag is flown at homes, businesses, government buildings, and community centers across the country during Juneteenth celebrations as a symbol of freedom and remembrance. How Is Juneteenth Celebrated? Juneteenth celebrations combine commemoration, education, and joyful community gatherings. While traditions vary across the country, many celebrations include these common elements: Traditional Celebrations Community Gatherings Family reunions, community picnics, and barbecues bring people together to celebrate freedom and community bonds. Red Foods Red foods and drinks symbolize resilience and sacrifice. Traditional options include red velvet cake, watermelon, red soda, and barbecued meats. Music and Dance Performances often include spirituals, jazz, blues, and gospel music, with “Lift Every Voice and Sing” frequently performed. Educational Components Historical Readings Public readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, General Order No. 3, and works by Black authors honor the historical significance. Educational Events Lectures, exhibitions, and workshops explore African American history, culture, and the ongoing journey toward equality. Parades and Marches Many communities host parades celebrating African American culture and achievements while honoring the struggle for freedom.
