Simone Biles Will Not Be Denied

The world wants everything from Simone Biles, and she keeps on giving it. She pulls off some of the most difficult skills in gymnastics better than any of her competitors, then adds unimaginable ones. She takes an improbable winning streak and extends it again. Competing at 24 years old and showing everyone that she’s stronger than she was at 19—her age when she near-swept the 2016 Olympics in Rio—she is a real-time refutation of the assumption that late adolescence spells the end of a top gymnast’s career.

In a joint press release published Tuesday, representatives from Van Leeuwen and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese announced that they had teamed up for a collaborative, special edition item: mac and cheese ice cream. To be clear, nobody asked for this. Nobody wanted this. But also, it might actually be pretty good? Refinery29
