The secret lies with an ingredient that can be a bit of a tongue twister — PGPR, or polyglycerol polyricinoleate. PGPR is considered a processed ingredient made from products like castor beans, sunflower oil, and soybean oil. PGPR is found in most modern chocolate because it reduces the need for cocoa butter (which is expensive), improving viscosity and producing the rich chocolatey texture we're all so accustomed to.” [// The Takeout »]( [/cute] [Before Moo Deng, there was ‘William Johnson Hippopotamus’ | Atlas Obscura]( [Before Moo Deng, there was ‘William Johnson Hippopotamus’]( “Ever since she was born at Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo in July 2024, Moo Deng, the pygmy hippopotamus, has captured the public imagination, with visitors to her home quadrupling since her birth. She has also raised the profile of her species, the lesser-known — and more endangered — sheep-sized cousin of the common hippo. But Moo Deng was not the first mini hippo to become a major celebrity.” [// Atlas Obscura »]( [/gear] [StackSocial -Watch your giftee light up over this deal | [Partner] ]( [Watch your giftee light up over this deal]( You know what pairs well with new Nike gear?

Kids today are no different — except they have the Internet. But screen time for kids has been out of control in recent years. Try to manage their screen time, say with Apple's Screen Time feature, and many know how to get around the limitations you impose. If you need to give your children a forced break from the web or just need them to stop hogging all your bandwidth during the day, a few router settings can help make that happen.” [// PCMag »]( [/bites] [// A gift for kids… or adults.
