Lattes are being pumpkin-spiced and Oreos are becoming ghosts. But the real sign of fall? Seeing those Lindt Lindor Truffle commercials.

Yeah, we’ve had some nice twists on snacks, like Flipz and Dunkin’s pumpkin spice pretzels, but other than that, it’s mainly been the same old thing: Creamers, baked goods, pies, all that jazz. Now, there is absolutely nothing... ## [Nyetimber expecting “earliest ever harvest” after heatwaves](https://www.just-drinks.com/news/nyetimber-expecting-earliest-ever-harvest-after-heatwaves/) _2026-08-21 · Fiona Holland · Just Drinks_ English sparkling wine group Nyetimber is anticipating its "earliest harvest ever", following several heatwaves in the UK this year. ## [DP World opens Johor warehouse in Special Economic Zone to expand Southeast Asia logistics network](https://www.foodbusinessmea.com/dp-world-opens-johor-warehouse-in-special-economic-zone-to-expand-southeast-asia-logistics-network/) _2026-08-21 · Editor Food · Food Business Middle East & Africa – No.1 Food & Beverage Formulation, Processing & Packaging Publication_ In addition to the warehouses in Malaysia, DP World is launching warehouses in the Philippines and in Thailand before the end of the year. ## [The Most Debated Decisions In Costco’s Food History](https://sporked.com/article/costco-food-debated-decisions/) _2026-08-21 · Jay Wilson · Sporked_ Costco makes changes to its food (and its food court) all the time.
