Tomorrow is the first official day of summer, but with temps getting into the 90s, we've been feeling the heat for the past few days.

You could cool down with a dip in the pool , but we prefer the tastier (and less work-intensive route) of sucking down a frozen drink.

We tried two of the newest on the market -- the Pickle Juice Slush from Sonic Drive-In and the Watermelon Freeze (with candy seeds!) from Taco Bell to see how they stack up.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
