Actually, it's their very appropriate way of commemorating National Cheesecake Day! ::Whispers:: Which should be everyday, right? And, according to The Cheesecake factory, this new flavor "features layers of Original cheesecake, vanilla cake, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla mousse topped with cream cheese frosting and finished with brightly colored confetti."

Chipotle Really Wants You To Think More About Queso

Chipotle Really Wants You To Think More About Queso

Michelle No / BuzzFeed

In a sign of Chipotle's softening culinary authoritarianism as it tries to lure customers back into restaurants, the company will start selling queso in more than 350 restaurants in Central and Southern California and Colorado starting in August, the chain said on an investor call on Tuesday.

Queso — that gooey, deliciously low-brow cheese dip — has been "the single most requested item our guests ask for," CEO Steve Ells said on the call. But the company long rejected it "because we couldn't come up with a recipe that didn't have a bunch of the kinds of ingredients that we don't want to serve, the kinds of ingredients that are really part of processed food."

Chipotle's guiding principle is "food with integrity" (as it states on its website: "We're all about preparing food without added colors, flavors, or preservatives"). Everyday queso was full of too many unsavory ingredients to meet that standard — it was not something the restaurant could serve proudly. Also, in its quest to stay simple, the chain was not really into adding new menu items.

But in the face of a sales meltdown, Chipotle has finally given the people what they demanded.

"Of our last 24 years, there's no doubt the last two have been extremely challenging," said Ells, referring to the drop in business that began in late 2015.

BuzzFeed News

Queso was mentioned 26 times during the latest earnings call. Although a lengthy discussion of cheese dip may seem out of place on an investor conference, Chipotle is hoping that queso will help it pull out of a sales dip triggered by a series of food-borne illnesses in 2015 and exacerbated by a norovirus outbreak in a Virginia store last week that sickened more than 135 people.

The company hopes "the marketing and buzz" around queso "will change the narrative and encourage our guests to quickly return to their previous visit frequencies," Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung told investors.

"Queso is something that could attract new customers, could attract lapsed customers, could increase frequency of existing customers and then also the ability to increase check average. It hits on all four," said Chief Marketing and Development Officer Mark Crumpacker.

The company, which traditionally has done very little advertising compared to other fast food chains, is even throwing ad dollars behind the launch of queso.

Chipotle

Chipotle started testing the cheese dip in a single store in New York City earlier this month. Whether it will become available all locations is still TBD. "The decision for a national rollout is subject to the results of the test that begins August 1," Crumpacker said.

A spokesman said in an emailed statement, "Like everything else we serve, it’s free of industrial additives. If this was something we were going to do – serving queso – we simply wanted to do it in a way that fit with our food philosophy.

BuzzFeed's review of Chipotle's new dish said it was "slightly spicy, gritty, and lacked the gooeyness of standard queso, but still — pretty tasty."

HBO Has Been Hacked

HBO Has Been Hacked

“HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information,” the network said in a statement.

HBO was hacked and is working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms to investigate the incident.

“HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information," the network said in a statement. "We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms. Data protection is a top priority at HBO, and we take seriously our responsibility to protect the data we hold."

HBO is not commenting on what was stolen or the amount of data accessed, despite reports that the hackers leaked a few episodes from the, series Ballers, Room 104, and the script for next Sunday's Game of Thrones.

An anonymous email — purportedly from said hackers — was sent to some staffers on Sunday night, which read: "Hi to all mankind. The greatest leak of cyber space era is happening. What’s its name? Oh I forget to tell. Its HBO and Game of Thrones……!!!!!! You are lucky to be the first pioneers to witness and download the leak. Enjoy it & spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling."

BuzzFeed News has reached out to HBO for comment.

HBO has been hacked, BuzzFeed News can confirm.

“HBO recently experienced a cyber incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information," the network said in a statement. "We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms. Data protection is a top priority at HBO, and we take seriously our responsibility to protect the data we hold."

Entertainment Weekly was the first to report the news.

On Monday, CEO Richard Plepler sent an email to HBO employees:

Dear Colleagues,

As most of you have probably heard by now, there has been a cyber incident directed at the company which has resulted in some stolen proprietary information, including some of our programming. Any intrusion of this nature is obviously disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing for all of us.

I can assure you that senior leadership and our extraordinary technology team, along with outside experts, are working round the clock to protect our collective interests. The efforts across multiple departments have been nothing short of herculean. It is a textbook example of quintessential HBO teamwork. The problem before us is unfortunately all too familiar in the world we now find ourselves a part of.

As has been the case with any challenge we have ever faced, I have absolutely no doubt that we will navigate our way through this successfully.

Richard

HBO has not revealed what was stolen or the amount of data accessed, despite reports that the hackers leaked a few episodes from the series Ballers, Room 104, and the script for next Sunday's Game of Thrones.

According to EW, an anonymous email was sent to some reporters on Sunday night, which read: "Hi to all mankind. The greatest leak of cyber space era is happening. What’s its name? Oh I forget to tell. Its HBO and Game of Thrones……!!!!!! You are lucky to be the first pioneers to witness and download the leak. Enjoy it & spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling."

This is not the first time HBO has been in this situation. The first four episodes of Game of Thrones Season 5 leaked shortly before its premiere in 2015.

HBO Is Moving Forward With "Confederate" After The Campaign To Scrap It Trended On Twitter

HBO said in a statement that they have “great respect for the dialogue,” but that they “hope that people will reserve judgment.”

According to a press release from HBO, Confederate will follow a world in which the American South seceded from the Union, resulting in a nation in which slavery "has evolved into a modern institution." The proposed show, from Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, would involve events leading up to "the Third American Civil War." The announcement about Confederate was immediately met with backlash.

69 Thoughts I Had Watching This Week's "Game Of Thrones," Including "NICE"

69 Thoughts I Had Watching This Week's "Game Of Thrones," Including "NICE"

The real tragedy is about Jon and his missing boat.

1. WHOOOOO'S READY FOR A ROYAL MEETING?
2. AND POSSSSSSIBLY SOME INCESTUAL SEXUAL TENSION?
3. Seriously, what are the current betting odds on Jon and Daenerys banging before they realize they're related?
4. It's not like it'd be new, uncharted territory on this show.
5. OH SHIT it's at the start of the episode! They're already at Dragonstone!
6. I am 100% gleeful at this Jon/Tyrion reunion.
7. Jon was really concerned about his boat.

HBO

8. Aww, Tyrion asked about Sansa.
9. "And unconsummated." Lol.
10. "I'm not a Stark" BRUH YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.
11. Jon has officially seen a dragon now and things are HAPPENING.
12. Oh shit, Varys and Melisandre are getting aggressively sassy.
13. I was wondering how Mel was going to avoid the awkwardness. Turns out "run away to a different continent" is the answer.
14. THEY'RE HERE IT'S HAPPENING.
15. I will never get tired of people making fun of Dany's really long title.
16. Ever.

14 Things You Never Knew About "The Big Bang Theory"

14 Things You Never Knew About "The Big Bang Theory"

There are more lyrics to “Soft Kitty!”

During this year's Comic-Con, BuzzFeed attended The Big Bang Theory panel, which featured both cast members and writers of the show. Here are some fun things we learned:

During this year's Comic-Con, BuzzFeed attended The Big Bang Theory panel, which featured both cast members and writers of the show. Here are some fun things we learned:

1. Carrie Fisher and James Earl Jones met for the first time on The Big Bang Theory set, despite playing father and daughter in Star Wars. When Carrie saw him for the first time, she shouted, "Dad!"

2. Maria Ferrari — a writer for the show — once interrupted Kevin Sussman (who plays Stuart) on a date and he didn't know who she was. She's convinced that he thought she was a fan, but he assures her he just forgot her name.

3. Kevin Sussman hates having his head underwater and described his hot tub scene with Kunal Nayyar as "horrifying." A bunch of people had to coach him and tell him that it was going to be ok.

4. Kunal being cast as Raj was only his second ever acting job after graduating from Temple University, his first was playing a terrorist on NCIS.

Kevin Winter / Getty Images

5. Kaley Cuoco has an idea of what Penny's maiden name might be, but she's keeping it close to the vest. She told one fan, "I have it in my head what I think that it is. But now I’m Penny Hofstadter, so it doesn’t matter."

6. A lot of laughter on the show is improv. Kaley said, "That’s what I love about this cast, like we laugh when we’re saying things. It’s completely natural, it’s not a written in thing... I’m constantly entertained by these friends and these people that are around me."

7. Kaley Cuoco's favorite episode is "The Scavenger Vortex," because she loves group scenes and how competitive Melissa got during filming. Meanwhile, Kunal Nayyar likes "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency" because he got to use a funny American accent.

8. Kunal is a huge Star Wars fan and his dog is named Boba Fett.

CBS

9. The scene where Bernadette sleeps in a crib with baby Haley is based off a real moment Maria Ferarri experienced.

10. Apparently, Kaley Cuoco is the big crier on set. She'll tear up from laughing, but also cries during emotional scenes, such as the most recent finale when Sheldon proposed to Amy.

11. Kunal Nayyar is jealous of Kaley's wardrobe, saying that he wishes he could just wear tank tops and shorts, instead of heavy sweaters with long-sleeves.

12. Adam West guest starred for the show's 200th episode and had to say, “Don’t ring my doorbell or my poodles will go crazy!” during one scene. After rehearsing the line, Adam asked executive producer Steve Molaro, “Do you think I could have a tougher dog, like a Rottweiler?” But West had poodles in real life.

Instagram: @kunalkarmanayyar

13. It takes 20 minutes for Kunal to straighten his hair every episode, since it's naturally curly.

14. "Soft Kitty" has additional verses that include other animals. The full song goes:

She and Derek started dating after he saved her from getting trapped in the school basement.

And it was really sweet because Derek had been through so much and you just wanted to see him happy, and you thought to yourself, "Aww, he finally met a nice girl. He deserves this!"

MTV

But then you freaked the fuck out all over the place when she turned out to actually be this, and you swore vengeance on series creator, Jeff Davis, for shattering your dreams and Derek's poor heart.

But then you freaked the fuck out all over the place when she turned out to actually be this, and you swore vengeance on series creator, Jeff Davis, for shattering your dreams and Derek's poor heart.

That's right. Sweet, innocent Jennifer turned out to be the season 3 villain, the Darach AKA the maniac who went around Beacon Hills sacrificing teenagers for some power boost ritual. Ultimately, Peter Hale "handled the situation" and, IMO, she got what she deserved.

MTV

"That's easy. Jennifer. I freely admit it was a mistake to kill her off. Also, because Hayley [Webb] is such a good person and she's one of those people you want to bring back to set because you enjoy having her there. Such good energy!"
