Tito’s Handmade Vodka to enter the canned cocktail craze. Instead, they’re doing the complete opposite.

The vodka brand is selling a completely empty can that encourages customers to make canned cocktails however they like them, preferably with Tito’s vodka. “Tito’s in a Can” is just that…almost: It’s a 16-ounce, refillable can that costs $20 that’s meant to be a cheeky knock at the ever-growing cocktail-to-go trend.

Available for a limited time online.

For National Mustard Day this Saturday, French’s is giving away mustard-flavored DONUTS. They’ll probably sell out fast, but boxes of two go on sale at DoughDoughnuts.com at exactly 9:00 A.M. Eastern.

You can get two mustard-flavored donuts sent to you by mail if you log onto DoughDoughnuts.com at exactly 9:00 A.M. Eastern.

Each one is a classic glazed donut drizzled in a, quote, “savory yellow mustard coating” and topped with mustard cake crumbles.

If you don’t get one, they also posted recipes online to make your own mustard donuts at home.
