Zumba Fitness Releases Its First Line of Vegan Protein Shakes
Zumba Fitness, the dance exercise program that has dominated fitness clubs for the last few years — is finally debuting its own line of vegan, low-sugar protein shakes. Available in three flavors: "Coco Loco," "Thrilla in Vanilla," and "La Vida Mocha," Zumba Shake Shake Shakes (so nice they had to say it thrice) are 100 calories each, gluten-free, allergen-free, and practically sugar-free. Zumba claims it is one of the few protein-shake producers to use plant-based proteins and also prides itself on producing a powdered drink that's not chalky, and without a weird aftertaste. Drinks start at $99 for a 30-pack.

College Student Duped by Phony Drug Dealers Who Sold Him a Bag of Shredded Vegetables, Not Pot
Two men who sold "shredded vegetables" to an 18-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst — instead of the marijuana he believed he was buying — were named in the February 18 assault on the student when the deal went awry. The "dealers" were not students at UMass, but residents of town about 90 minutes away. The men are accused of assaulting their victim with a BB gun after the exchange did not go as planned — presumably because the victim realized he was being sold produce, not pot. The pseudo dealers also stole $120 from the victim when he refused to pay for the bogus reefer. Both men were later arrested.
