Feel Good Friday: Brees Dream Foundation Teams Up With So Delicious Dairy Free

By TJ Carter Published July 16, 2015

Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for improving the quality of life for cancer patients and providing care and education for children and families!

OK, that may not be a very catchy jingle, but it is a fun way to describe the partnership between the Brees Dream Foundation and So Delicious Dairy Free. The Brees Dream Foundation is a nonprofit organization run by New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees and his philanthropist wife, Brittany; and So Delicious Dairy Free is an Oregon-based food company that makes all sorts of tasty dairy-free products — including frozen desserts.

To date, the Brees Dream Foundation has given more than $22 million to charities and schools, and they’re about to give a bunch more. So Delicious Dairy Free has pledged 0.75% of their frozen dessert sales during July and August to the foundation, with a minimum uncapped donation of $75,000.

Like millions of other Americans, Drew and Brittany Brees are allergic to dairy, so this partnership makes a great deal of sense. Drew and Brittany Brees also partnered with So Delicious Dairy Free back in 2012 to help folks with food allergies and sensitivities discover healthy, delicious foods.

And So Delicious Dairy Free definitely falls in the “delicious” column. Among their many dessert offerings are their new line of cashew milk frozen dessert, coconut milk frozen desserts, and the world’s only dairy-free, gluten-free cookie dough frozen dessert. Drew, Brittany, and their three boys swear by the stuff. We’re not saying these frozen desserts will help you win the Super Bowl, but they couldn’t hurt your chances.

At The Manual, we’re not shy about our love for animal products — but neither are we hostile to those who go the vegan, naturally sweetened, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO route. Whether you have a dairy allergy or are just looking to mix things up with your summer desserts, So Delicious Dairy Free is a good way to go. Indulging in dessert is rarely associated with charitable acts; this is your big chance!

Bill Hader will co-write a new HBO series about the Jonestown massacre

The story of Jonestown has been infamous for almost 50 years.

Bill Hader in Barry.

If you watched Barry all the way through to its conclusion, you're likely aware that Bill Hader is a kind of dark guy. He's always talking about his fascination with serial killers and murderers, and now he's channeling that fascination into a project for HBO. Variety is reporting that Hader will co-write and potentially star in a new HBO series about the infamous Jonestown massacre.

Hader is co-writing the series with Daniel Zelman, and while it's still in development, the show could potentially be Hader's next star vehicle with HBO, where he also worked on Barry.

The show had a three-year gap between seasons.

When Wednesday first debuted in 2022, it almost immediately became one of the biggest shows in the history of Netflix. Now, after three years, fans are finally getting the show's second season. Based on the trailer, it looks like the vibes that fans loved from the first season are back in full force, as is Jenna Ortega's central performance.

Like many of Netflix's biggest shows, Wednesday season 2 will actually have two premiere dates, with the first half of the season debuting on Aug. 6 and the second half a month later on Sept. 3. Those premiere dates will give all the Wednesday fans in your lifetime to prepare their Halloween costumes for the year.

The best sci-fi shows you can watch now on Apple TV+

From Silo to Severance, these are the best sci-fi series on Apple TV+.

Because it's still a relatively new streaming service, and because it didn't come into existence with a back catalog, Apple TV+'s library is thinner than most. Even so, the streamer has managed to build a subscriber base in part by investing heavily in quality shows, and specifically in quality shows with a sci-fi twist.

Severance is one of the best shows on television, and it seems like a guarantee that it will be heavily awarded at the next Emmy ceremony. Severance is one of my favorite shows, too, but it's far from the only sci-fi series on Apple. We've pulled together a list of the best shows available over there if you're looking for great science fiction:"
