Mum shares 'brilliant' £6 trick that gets fussy kids to try new food and finish meals

writing a subtle message to a teenage girl via her coffee cup when she was approached by an older male customer.The story went viral earlier this week after the girl's mum, Brandy Roberson, said she felt relieved to know that employees at a Starbucks in Texas went the extra mile to see whether her 18-year-old daughter needed help when a man came up to her while she was alone in one of their outlets.The barista offered her daughter a spare hot drink that someone "forgot" to collect at Staples and SPID in Corpus Christi, Texas, with a discreet message on it that read: “Are you okay? Do you want us to intervene? If you do, take the lid off the cup."But while the majority of comments from thousands of men and women were overwhelmingly positive, a minority of middle-aged men began complaining that 'they can't approach women anymore' because of acts like this.Oddly choosing LinkedIn as their platform to vent in front of potential employers, one bloke commented: "Best men not speak to or even address a woman/she /her in future so? "Would you like some snowflakes in that extra hot chocolate? Or maybe they should have handed her a taser?? #metoo #overreaction "We are not being presented with all of the facts here whatsoever.

Turning Red, wherein powerhouse siblings Finneas and Billie Eilish – the former appearing as part of the fictional boyband 4*Town (a tongue-in-cheek riff on *NSYNC) – take fans right back to 2002.Titled ‘Nobody Like U’, the song is an almost scarily accurate pastiche of early ‘00s pop. It starts with washed-out vocals, clicky synth beats and quasi-flamenco strumming, before bursting into a lively bop driven by bold, modulated piano chords and stacked lead vocals.Opening the intently cheesy, ultra-nostalgic track, the fictional 4*Town quintet – flanked by Eilish on backing vocals – croon: “I’ve never met nobody like you / Had friends and I’ve had buddies, it’s true / But they don’t turn my tummy the way you do.”Check out the lyric video for ‘Nobody Like U’, replete with scrapbook-esque nods to relics of ‘00s culture, below:Finneas voices the role of Jesse in Turning Red, with his “bandmates” rounded out by Robaire (as portrayed by Jordan Fisher), Aaron T (Topher Ngo), Aaron Z (Josh Levi) and Tae Young (Grayson Villanueva). The film is set for a worldwide release on March 11.
