The Rolling Stones are announcing their new signature rum. It's "Crossfire Hurricane," named for a lyric in their hit "Jumping Jack Flash": The band says Crossfire Hurricane is a blend of rums from Jamaica, Barbados and the Dominican Republic, aged in oak barrels. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards released a statement saying the new rum is "our tribute to the islands that have inspired us for decades." The rum is available on the official Crossfire Hurricane website, which also has recipes for four different Rolling Stones cocktails.
From jiggly jello molds to green bean casseroles, the TSA is dishing on which Thanksgiving foods can fly with you this holiday. While most foods can be carried through airport checkpoints, some need to be checked into baggage. TSA officials say if it's a solid item like baked goods, meats, stuffing or casseroles, it can go through a checkpoint. But if you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pour it or pump it and it's larger than three-point-four ounces, then it should go in a checked bag. That means pack the apple cider, gravy and cranberry sauce in the checked luggage.
An 80s band is out with a new holiday song: it's "Christmas Isn't Christmas" by Bon Jovi. The band broke the news last week on Instagram, and called it an early Christmas present for Bon Jovi fans. The song is the first new release from Bon Jovi since their "2020" album from three years ago. The Asbury Park Press says the band is currently recording a new album in Nashville.
