Jack Daniel’s says a dog toy company is ripping off its brand. What will the Supreme Court say?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:26:36 GMT

Lawyers for Jack Daniel’s will argue to the Supreme Court on Wednesday that a dog toy company violated federal trademark law when it parodied the distiller’s bottle to sell a “Bad Spaniels Silly Squeaker” toy replete with poop-themed jokes.The case pits the rights of a famous trademark holder against the First Amendment rights of a company that wants to use those marks to sell a humorous product.At the center of the case is a squeaky toy created by VIP Products that is strikingly similar to Jack Daniel’s bottles. Apart from the general shape of the toy, the plastic bottle, like its glass counterpart, has a similar font style and uses a black label.VIP borrows Jack Daniel’s “Old No. 7 Brand Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey” to sell “The Old No. 2 On Your Tennessee Carpet,” a reference to dog excrement. And it changes the liquor bottle’s “40% ALC. BY VOL. (80 PROOF)” with “43% POO BY VOL.” and “...

(CNN) — Two inmates who escaped from a Newport News, Virginia, jail by digging out and scaling a wall were found at a nearby IHOP hours later Tuesday, officials said.The Newport News Jail Annex discovered the two inmates, John M. Garza, 37, and Arley V.

Researchers 3D printed this cheesecake

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:26:36 GMT

(CNN) — Researchers have been pushing the limits of 3D printing for decades, using the manufacturing technique to churn out consumer goods such as furniture and shoes, human organs and even a rocket. But can industrial technology be applied to make a fully baked dessert that can be fabricated in your home kitchen?Engineers at Columbia University set out to do just that. A team whipped up a seven-ingredient vegan cheesecake that was assembled and cooked entirely by a 3D-printing machine and — in a new innovation — laser technology, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal NPJ Science of Food.The experiment was a step toward developing practical uses for 3D printing in mechanically assembled food, the researchers said. The machines needed to create and bake a 3D-printed dessert already exist — at least in Columbia Engineering’s New York laboratory — butthere are not yet troves of cookbooks out there spelling out how the tech can be applied.“If this (tech...

The Chicago Cubs aren’t officially announcing their opening-day starter yet, but all signs point to Marcus Stroman getting the ball.Major League Baseball plans to release all of the opening-day starters later this week. Stroman is in line to start March 30 against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field.Stroman said Tuesday it would be huge to receive that honor, though he told manager David Ross that if he wants someone else to get that start, he would understand because Stroman is taking a big-picture approach.“I’m not somebody who needs the opening-day start … I’m trying to make 33, 34 starts and that’s the goal,” Stroman said. “But to feel that energy at Wrigley, that’s why you work so hard for those moments and I feel like I’d be the perfect one to go out there and pitch opening day.”White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito, meanwhile, felt he got better as his start went on against the Brewers on Tuesday in Phoenix. ...
