Your favorite grocery and snack items may have disappeared from store shelves in 2026
Shoppers are mourning several grocery store products this year, from a nostalgic juice staple to cult-favorite snack flavors reportedly being cleared from shelves.
Some 2026 grocery exits are confirmed, while others have been reported by food outlets and shoppers.
Coca-Cola confirmed a longtime freezer-aisle exit because of "shifting consumer preferences," The Associated Press reported earlier this year.

Meanwhile, PepsiCo announced last year that it planned to reduce nearly 20% of its U.S. product offerings as part of an effort to focus on products with simpler ingredients and functional benefits. Food outlets have reported that more than 20 snacks could be affected, though PepsiCo has not confirmed every individual product.
Tasting Table recently featured a list of likely discontinued items across several major brands. Here are five of the top items.
OLD-SCHOOL SODA WENT FROM BEING A TOP BRAND TO NEARLY UNFINDABLE
Coca-Cola is ending Minute Maid frozen orange juice, lemonade and limeade products, which many shoppers remember fondly from childhood. The company said the move ends its presence in the frozen-can category after 80 years.
"My family would buy these to make frozen icees in the summer," one person wrote in the subreddit r/Millennials. "Can't believe they're being discontinued."
COCA-COLA QUIETLY AXED ONE REAGAN-ERA DRINK THAT DISAPPEARED FROM STORE SHELVES
"This is devastating. Nothing compares. My comfort drink," another said.
Blue Bell’s Butter Crunch, vanilla ice cream filled with chunks of crunchy chocolate peanut butter candy, is also gone for now. The company’s own product page says the flavor "is no longer available."
"I want them to bring back Butter Crunch so dang bad," one Reddit user wrote in a thread devoted to Blue Bell flavors shoppers want to see return.

Cruz says winning AI race against China is 'single most important economic question' for America
America's AI race against China, which has become a major point of debate as midterms approach, is a race filled with "coordinated" propaganda, warned Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
In recent months, data centers and AI policy have been debated in Congress and at the kitchen tables of American families. But Cruz, who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, told Fox News Digital that much of the new opposition to data centers is being manipulated by a well-funded and coordinated campaign.
"It's the same reason we saw Middle Eastern countries paying for anti-fracking movements," Cruz said. "Because if they can convince America, 'Don't develop your oil and gas, just buy it from us,' well, that's great for them and terrible for us. The same is true on data centers. If they can convince Americans, 'You don't want data centers here, you want to just rely on the Chinese for AI,' that's great for China, and it's terrible for America."
CHINA EXPERT WARNS BEIJING WANTS AMERICANS — NOT THE CCP — TO SPREAD ITS MESSAGE
Direct funding from the Chinese government into the U.S. on data center policies has not been revealed. However, in June, OpenAI announced it had banned ChatGPT accounts believed to have originated in China, and said that the accounts were generating social media comments and images alleging that data centers are raising electricity costs for Americans.
OpenAI said in a statement that it shut down "two clusters of ChatGPT accounts likely originating from China that [OpenAI] banned after they used our models in support of apparent covert influence operations that promoted narratives in an attempt to manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and wider tech policies."
Cruz called the effort to craft policy to ensure the U.S. wins the AI race is "the single most important economic question facing America today."
"If China wins, AI will be focused on espionage and propaganda and control and surveillance, because that's the Chinese Communist Party," Cruz said. "It will be their values. They will use AI to try to control you. If America wins, I want American values to be reflected in AI. I want free speech and individualism and free enterprise and privacy to be reflected in AI, not control and power."
Cruz called opposition to AI advancement and data centers the "dominant position on the Democratic side." The third-term Republican said the Democrats' position is aligned with that of big industry players including Anthropic that he said want exemption from antitrust laws and to "get in bed with government" to control AI development.
THE HIDDEN LEFT-WING NETWORK POWERING A ‘CONSERVATIVE’ REBELLION AGAINST A MAJOR TRUMP PRIORITY
Cruz associated this position with leftist ideology and the emerging tech philosophy known as "effective altruism."
"These folks from effective altruism are all hardcore leftists, and they want to use AI to push their leftist ideology," Cruz said. "Part of what we're seeing is a money grab, where there's an old concept in economics called rent seeking, which is big companies typically go to government and say, 'Give me a benefit, entrench me.' We’re seeing the giant AI companies going to government saying, 'Hey, why don't you put us in charge of government and let's set the rules so no one could compete with us.'"
Parker Thayer, an investigative researcher at Capital Research Center in Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital last week that effective altruism is associated with what he called the "AI doomerism movement."
Facebook co-founder and billionaire Democratic mega-donor Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna have been leading financial backers of organizations associated with the effective altruism movement. Moskovitz left Facebook in 2008.
The couple founded Coefficient Giving, formerly known as Open Philanthropy, and remains its "main funders," according to the organization. Tuna serves as its president.
Coefficient Giving says its artificial intelligence work has expanded rapidly, with $168 million committed to AI safety, security and field-building in 2024 and $351 million in 2025. The organization says it is on track to commit more than $1 billion to AI policy advocacy in 2026.
In a 2021 grant application description, the organization said it seeks "to fund programs and events in a variety of areas of interest to Coefficient Giving — including effective altruism, global catastrophic risks, biosecurity, AI for epistemics, forecasting, and other areas."
In 2015, Coefficient Giving launched "Project Tailwind," an initiative where the Moskovitz-funded organization issued a "call for founders to launch ambitious AI safety initiatives."
Texas' Steve Sarkisan's first interview with Holly Rowe goes off without a hitch after viral postgame incident
Holly Rowe and Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian’s interview on Saturday was much different from their last one.
After Texas’ thrilling 24-23 comeback win, Sarkisian ran away from Rowe as she attempted to interview him, leaving the ESPN reporter visibly dismayed. On Saturday, prior to the highly anticipated matchup between No. 1 Texas and No. 14 Tennessee at Neyland Stadium, Rowe interviewed Sarkisian right before kickoff, and it went off without a hitch.
Rowe referenced Arch Manning’s Hall of Fame uncle, Peyton Manning, and how members of the Manning family have played well at Neyland Stadium before asking Sarkisian how he had told Arch to make the game his own.

"This is his moment. I want him to go out and have fun with his teammates, right? This team has been great all year. It’s going to continue to play great, but they need to play great together. It’s not about just Arch, it’s about the entire team," Sarkisian told ESPN.
"Thanks so much, coach. Appreciate you," Rowe responded.

"Appreciate you," Sarkisian replied as he walked back toward his sideline.
The postgame interview after the Ohio State game went viral, but the attention didn’t stop there. Manning was asked about the viral videos after Texas’ comeback win and pointed to an AI video depicting Sarkisian slapping Rowe, which drew laughs from those in the room.
Manning has since apologized for his comments, and Sarkisian explained that ESPN was dealing with delays and said he wanted to celebrate with his team. The Texas coach said he has a "great relationship" with Rowe that dates back to his playing days at BYU.
Sarkisian hopes he’ll be interviewed by Rowe for a second time on the field after a Longhorns victory on Saturday. At the time of this writing, Texas was up 7-3 on Tennessee in the first quarter.
Sylvester Stallone shares harrowing new details about abusive childhood
Sylvester Stallone isn't looking for pity.
The action star opened up about a childhood marked by abandonment, violence and an almost total absence of affection in a new interview, telling The New York Times that he deliberately left some of the darkest stories out of his book because he didn't want readers to feel sorry for him.
"I didn't put a lot of stuff in the book because I didn't want a pity party … but it was insane," he admitted.
SYLVESTER STALLONE REVEALS WHAT HE SAID TO TRUMP AFTER SURPRISE HOLLYWOOD AMBASSADOR APPOINTMENT
After his parent’s divorce, Stallone spent time living with his father in Maryland. He described his father as volatile and physically abusive.
"The next thing you know — wham! He had very big hands. You just learned to duck a little bit."
One memory particularly stayed with Stallone.
The Hollywood star said his father sent him to a store before church to buy bread. He returned with nut bread after running into friends.
"And he kicked me in the stomach and hit me and like laid me out, got in the car, and went to church."
Stallone said he was left lying in the street, saying, "Really, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable."
Years later, Stallone confronted his father. When he was in his 40s, Stallone told him, "I wish you and I could be the same age for three minutes." When his father asked him why, he said, "Because I'd like to give you some of your own medicine, and you would know what it'd be like to have your ass kicked."
Stallone said his father then challenged him to fight, explaining, "He was ready to go at 68 years old."
The "Rocky" star connected that fierceness to the one of the characters he's best known for.
"So, when people go, ‘Where do you get the ferocity to play Rambo?' Genetic," he said.
Stallone additionally recalled that his mother never showed affection towards him.

"My mother never — and my brother will attest — hugged me. Ever, ever," Stallone shared.
His father rarely showed affection either. But when Stallone was about 9, he said he fell asleep in the car after working around his father's horses. His father placed Stallone's head on his knee and rested his hand on his head.
"And I never got over that," he admitted.

Earlier in the interview, Stallone described being sent to live in a boarding house when he was very young, where his parents visited only once a month.
"I just was raised by strangers, you know, in a boarding house. And it became sort of a natural environment. And my parents were really never nurturing, so this was actually a bonus compared to where I was living."
That emotional deprivation, Stallone acknowledged, shaped the man he became.
When asked whether it made him tough, he replied, "In the wrong way, yeah, it did. It made me very tough."
But the toughness came at a cost. Stallone said he didn't experience what he considers "real, real, real, real true love" until he was around 70, when he experienced it with his wife and kids, saying, "And that's a big pity. It really is."

Stallone went on to build one of Hollywood's most recognizable careers, writing and starring as Rocky Balboa and going on to play John Rambo. The original "Rocky" received 10 Oscar nominations and won three Academy Awards, including best picture.
Off-screen, Stallone has five children from two of his three marriages.

Stallone married his first wife, Sasha Czack, in 1974. They divorced in 1985 and shared two sons, Sage and Seargeoh. Stallone married "Rocky IV" co-star Brigitte Nielsen later in 1985, and the couple divorced in 1987.
Stallone married Jennifer Flavin in 1997. They share three daughters, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet.
Rob Gronkowski calls Chargers 'probably the biggest mess in the NFL' right now after rough start
We’re already onto Week 3 in the 2026 NFL season, and teams are beginning to show their identities, proving they could be playoff contenders, or worse, teams that need some serious changes.
And while some squads have been surprises in good fashion, others haven’t.
For future Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski, the Los Angeles Chargers fall into the latter bucket.

"The Los Angeles Chargers I would say are probably the biggest mess in the NFL in terms of how they’re playing and where they should be," he told OutKick in New York City during an event for Bounty.
In the spirit of his partnership, we asked "Gronk" who is biggest mess in the NFL is after the first two weeks. He brought up the Miami Dolphins at first, but he believes it was "expected" considering their roster questions entering the season.

But nobody expected the Chargers, a team led by head coach Jim Harbaugh with new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, to be 0-2 after facing the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders – two teams that many didn’t predict to have playoff hopes in 2026 – to start the year.
So, Gronkowski was quite candid about what he’s seen thus far in Inglewood, California from that group.
"That’s a mess over there right now," he said. "They gotta just grab a Bounty paper towel and wipe off all their linemen, because they’re not clean. They’re dirty and they’re falling all over the place. Get the blocks down schematically and keep Justin Herbert clean in the pocket so he can perform."
The Chargers were expected to be a team to watch for the Super Bowl this season, especially with McDaniel coming in with his explosive offensive scheme. But the Chargers have produced just 14 points per game across their two contests, which is the third-lowest average in the league thus far. They are also 23rd in total offensive yards averaged per game, and the tape shows why.
Herbert is having a rough time finding any rhythm on offense, and while the offensive line, a pain point for the Chargers in recent seasons, has a lot to do with it, he’s also not making the plays many expect him to thus far. Herbert has thrown just two touchdowns, while being picked off three times in two games. He’s also completed just 59.3% of his passes.
However, Gronkowski implored that one player, even if it is your quarterback, can’t take sole blame for a team not hitting the mark everyone expected them to.
"It’s not just one thing that’s going wrong. It’s a lot of things going wrong," Gronkowski said. "The quarterback just not playing good ball, the offensive coordinator just not reading his team and not putting them in the right position. Offensive line is stinking it [up]. The wide receivers just not making the plays when they need to. It’s a collective of everything. Like, it’s in the air – it’s not just one thing.
"So, you have to fix everything as a whole when you go down that low. …It’s football. It’s such a team game that one player can’t make you collapse the way they’re collapsing. It’s everyone as a whole."
It’s still just two games into the season, but the Chargers have a gauntlet of a schedule moving forward. They will head to Buffalo this week to face the 2-0 Bills, while having to take on the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens after that.
Legal expert details what travelers are entitled to after massive East Coast flight cancellations
After a severed fiber optic cable disrupted thousands of flights to and from East Coast airports on Monday, customers are entitled to a full refund under U.S. law, but they also have other options, Eric Napoli, the chief legal officer at AirHelp, told Fox News Digital.
"Under U.S. domestic law on flights, the rules are that you're entitled to a full cash refund," Napoli explained.
"If you are flying to and from Europe and fall under European rules, if the cause of the delay is directly attributable to the airline, then you could be entitled to up to $700. In this case, this is completely outside of the airline's control. This is a tower-to-ground issue, so you don't get any compensation. But what you are entitled to is — if you decide not to take that flight, or whatever flight they give you next — a full cash refund," Napoli said.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed Amtrak for the cancellations, claiming that a construction crew cut the cable. However, the company quickly pushed back.
LAGUARDIA AIRPORT RUNWAY SHUT DOWN AFTER SINKHOLE DISCOVERED DURING ROUTINE MORNING INSPECTION
"This incident occurred on New Jersey Transit property and involved a New Jersey Transit contractor," Amtrak said in a statement.
NJ Transit acknowledged working on the site where the cable was cut, but claimed "the crew was digging approximately 10 feet away from the utility markings."
Because the incident was not caused by any of the airlines, customers traveling to and from Europe are not entitled to a $700 cash payment that European law would entitle them to if the airport caused the delays, Napoli said.
DELTA FLIGHT DIVERTED TWICE AFTER LAVATORY LEAK FLOODS CABIN, LEAVES PASSENGERS STRANDED FOR HOURS
"In this scenario, European law wouldn't say that the airline has to pay compensation because the network connectivity issue was completely outside of the airline's control — as it would be, for example, if a hurricane were flying in. If the aircraft had a technical issue and they weren't able to fix it in time, that's part of the airline's business and operating model, so an airline would have to pay up to $700," he told Fox News Digital.
Customers are entitled to a full cash refund under U.S. law. However, if they take an offer from the airlines to rebook their flights, they lose the option to get a refund, Napoli said.
"Generally what happens is the airline will come to the passenger and say, 'Either we've canceled the flight or we've rescheduled the flight for the next day, and we've put you on another flight.' The passenger then has the option to say, 'Do I want to take the other flight, or do I not want to?' Maybe now there's no reason to go see the game in Philadelphia, so you don't want to be rescheduled. In that case, you get your money back. If you decide to take the flight, then you wouldn't get your money back because you have consumed a service," he explained.
He recommended customers take initiative in receiving their refunds rather than waiting for the airlines to reimburse them.
"Generally, if you don't ask for it, you're not going to get it, so you have to be pretty proactive. Airlines have gotten really good now with offering rescheduled flights in their apps, because a situation like this is also a headache for them. The airlines have to suddenly find all of these people and rebook them. It's Tetris — along with the domino effect of delay after delay. The airlines will try to help, but for other things like getting a food voucher, a taxi, or a hotel, the traveler is going to have to be savvy and proactive," he continued.
"That's where AirHelp comes in and helps. We have lots of information on our website and a 24/7 chat that keeps you updated. We also have an app that can let you know if your flight is delayed or if incoming flights are on time, so you can look at sources like us. When it comes to things like compensation under European laws, airlines don't make it easy for you," Napoli added.
Napoli ultimately counseled travelers to remain savvy and calm.
"Having information beforehand and knowing how to navigate is always best. Be prepared. Things can go wrong, and we get angry and upset. But getting angry at the people at the airport desk doesn't help the situation — it just makes you angrier. It's best to keep calm, talk to people civilly, and hopefully, things will work out," he told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital contacted the Department of Transportation, Amtrak and New Jersey Transit for comment.
SEC crowd greets Trump with massive cheers ahead of Tennessee-Texas showdown
Donald Trump has arrived in Tennessee for the biggest college football game of the day, and — to the surprise of approximately nobody — the Neyland Stadium crowd went nuts as Air Force I flew over the stadium.
The president arrived in Knoxville about 40 minutes before kickoff of today's marquee showdown between the Vols and No. 1 Texas. It's the first meeting between the two schools since the Cotton Bowl in 1969. Tennessee comes in ranked 14th in the country, while the Longhorns are No. 1 and two weeks removed from an upset of Ohio State.
That was in Austin, though. Today's game is in Knoxville, with the eyes of everyone — including the president — on them.
TRUMP TO ATTEND TEXAS VS TENNESSEE IN HIGH-STAKES COLLEGE FOOTBALL SHOWDOWN
Obviously, it's a very pro-Trump crowd for today's ... SEC ... showdown. Who would've thunk it?! Forget the approval ratings. If Trump goes to an SEC game, he's gonna be cheered. Heavily.
Oddly enough, the only place he may have been met with some boos would've been Austin. Look at what the College GameDay crowd did to Ted Cruz two weeks ago.
TENNESSEE FANS EXCITED FOR TRUMP'S ATTENDANCE AT GAME VS TEXAS: 'I HOPE HE STAYS THE WHOLE GAME'
It was brutal.
But Knoxville is different. Tennessee is a different animal. Fans were told to get to the stadium hours before today's noon kickoff due to heightened security, and they listened.
OutKick's Trey Wallace reports seats were nearly full at the time Trump arrived, which also shouldn't surprise anyone given the school ran a nifty little promotion to entice the masses ...
All drinks, including beer, which half-price between 9 a.m and 10 a.m. That's right. You read that right. Half-price beer at 9 a.m., for a college football game at noon? What could go wrong!
Seems like everyone listened. And for those who did, they were treated to quite the show from Air Force I.
Bill Maher credits Trump’s ‘kick a--’ crime approach as violent offenses fall across America
Comedian Bill Maher offered surprising praise for President Donald Trump's handling of crime Friday, telling his audience that the president's tough-guy persona may have played a role in a nationwide drop in violent crime.
"It's not just drug crime that's way down, it's all crime," Maher said during Friday’s episode of HBO’s "Real Time," adding, "And again, probably much of it is not political. It's because you can't move two inches in America without being tracked, photographed, and followed by a Flock camera."
According to the late-night host, the president is a "bad a--" and it's childish to pretend" his tough on crime stance isn't having an impact.
Maher went on to credit both Democratic policies and Trump with contributing to lower nationwide crime rates.
MAHER MOCKS LIBERALS FOR STILL PANICKING ABOUT TRUMP'S ANTICS, PERSONALITY AFTER 10 YEARS
"It's also because when Democrats expand the safety net, there are less desperate people," Maher said. "And because Trump is a bad a--."
Maher added that while he does not "agree with many of [Trump’s] methods," he cannot argue that the president’s tough-on-crime approach has yielded successful results.
TRUMP TO RALLY WITH NEW YORK POLICE IN HIGHLIGHTING HISTORIC COAST-TO-COAST VIOLENT CRIME DROP
"Is doing it this way the right thing? No. But it's just childish to pretend that when you elect a f---around-and-find-out president, a no-more-Mr.-Nice-Guy, boot-in-your-a--, ‘V for Vendetta,’ kick-a-- and take names, say-hello-to-my-little-friend president, that's not going to have some effect on crime," he continued.
"He has UFC fights on the lawn," Maher concluded. "I think the bad guys got the message."
KASH PATEL TO TOUT 'LARGEST' YEAR-TO-YEAR VIOLENT CRIME DROP IN US HISTORY
According to the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer, reported violent crime nationwide fell 9% from June 2025 through May 2026. Robbery saw the steepest drop, at 19.4%, followed by murder at 18.7%, rape at 10% and aggravated assault at 6.2%.
Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jason Pack also pointed to the potential for bipartisan agreement on crime, telling Fox News Digital that "people may have strong disagreements with other parts of an agenda," but that "there can still be common ground around getting violent offenders off the street and making neighborhoods safer."
CRIME IS FALLING, OFFICIALS SAY — VICTIMS CLAIM REPORTING ISN’T WORTH IT
"You don’t have to wear somebody’s campaign button to admit when something appears to be working. That’s probably why you’re hearing even some of the president’s critics acknowledge what they’re seeing on crime," Pack said.
He emphasized the need for collaboration among local, state and federal law enforcement to make a meaningful difference in fighting crime across the country.

"People can and do disagree about politics. That’s nothing new. But most folks want the same things when they get home at the end of the day," Pack said, adding, "We may never get all the way back to the days when people left the front door unlocked, but folks ought to be able to feel secure in their own neighborhood and know violent offenders are being taken off the street. That’s not red or blue. It seems to me that’s red, white and blue."
The White House also praised the decline in crime, pointing to the statistics in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"President Trump promised to make America safe again and the data proves he has done just that. He has delivered the largest decrease in violent crime in American history," a White House spokesperson said. "Unlike Defund-the-Police Democrats, President Trump will always stand with our law enforcement officers and deliver safer American neighborhoods."
US, China strike deal to lower tariffs on $30B in goods after Trump-Xi Washington summit
The United States and China agreed to lower tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods traded between the two countries following a three-day summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, D.C.
According to the White House, the $30 billion in reciprocal tariff reductions apply to "non-sensitive goods."
U.S. exports including agricultural products, fish and seafood, logs and wood products, cosmetics and medical devices will receive favorable tariff treatment in China. Meanwhile, U.S. imports of Chinese-made small appliances, toys, holiday decorations and children's car seats will also receive preferential treatment.
The agreement was reached through the U.S.-China Board of Trade, a body first proposed during Trump's visit to China in May and formally established during Xi's visit to Washington this week.
XI PRAISES US STATE VISIT 'PERFECTION' AS TRUMP CALLS MEETINGS 'VERY PRODUCTIVE'
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC on Friday that "a lot more details" about the new trade agreement will be released on Monday.
Greer said the tariff terms were hammered out after weeks of negotiations. Neither country has released the final tariff rates or all the products that will receive favored status going forward.
This marks one of the most significant cooldowns in the trade war Trump launched against China in February 2025, when he levied a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, citing Beijing's alleged role in the fentanyl crisis and illegal immigration. China hit back with levies on U.S. coal, liquefied natural gas, crude oil and cars.
BESSENT REVEALS EXTENSION TO BUSAN AGREEMENT WITH CHINA UNTIL JANUARY
At their peak, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods reached a staggering 145% in April 2025, shortly after Trump unveiled his "Liberation Day" reciprocal tariffs. China responded with tariffs of up to 125% on U.S. goods.
U.S. and Chinese negotiators met in Geneva in May 2025 and agreed to a 90-day truce that lowered U.S. tariffs to 30% and China's to 10%. The agreement was extended for another 90 days in August.
Trump and Xi reached another tentative agreement during talks in South Korea in October 2025. Under the deal, China agreed to crack down on fentanyl precursors, resume purchases of U.S. soybeans and ease restrictions on rare-earth exports, while the United States agreed to further ease tariffs.
The two countries will now use the Board of Trade to negotiate additional tariff reductions and other trade disputes, leaving open the possibility of broader agreements in the months ahead.
Craig Carton calls out Pablo Torre for tying Tim Tebow to alleged Life Surge scam: 'Shame on you'
Craig Carton called out investigative reporter Pablo Torre for his focus on Tim Tebow in a recent report on Life Surge.
Torre alleged that the Christian-focused organization used Tebow as part of a predatory business model that pressured people to hand over thousands of dollars for advice without seeing a return on their investment.
Carton called Torre a "brilliant investigative reporter" but criticized him for linking Tebow to the organization’s alleged conduct without establishing that Tebow knew about it.

"Tim Tebow doesn't deserve to be dragged into this unless you got him nailed. And if you don't have him nailed to the cross on this story, you have defamed him. And if I'm Tim Tebow, I find that to be actionable. I find that to be regrettable," Carton said on a recent episode of OutKick’s "The Craig Carton Show."
Tebow has since come out and said he is "pausing" his relationship with Life Surge.
"I think the allegations are extremely, extremely serious, and it’s something that we take very serious," Tebow told The Gainesville Sun. "And so, for us, we’re having our team do an investigation, but also pausing our relationship until we can learn more about the facts to be able to understand more."
Mother Jones, which collaborated with Torre on the investigation, reported that Tebow spoke at 20 Life Surge events between 2024 and 2025 and was slated to speak at about as many events in 2026. Carton took no issue with Torre’s investigation but lambasted Torre for what the longtime radio host characterized as using Tebow’s name to further his own career.

"You’re using Tim Tebow’s name and popularity to further your own career. You’re using Tim Tebow to get attention for your story. Whether that story is accurate or not, I’ll take the leap of faith that you’ve reported as an allegation about this Life Surge company that it might even be accurate and factual, and we need to get involved. We need to get district attorneys involved and do a thorough, real investigation to see if they’re committing some type of predatory fraud against honest, God-fearing, blue-collar people who might be losing their life savings under the guise of religion," Carton said.
"That would be awful if that's happening. But how dare you sully the name and reputation of a man who has only done things for others? A man that has dedicated his life to service of his Lord."
Carton criticized Torre for putting Tebow in a bad spot when his reporting did not establish that the Florida Gators legend knew about or participated in the alleged conduct. Carton argued that the report forced Tebow to put out a statement and damaged his public reputation.
"When you go down that road and you sully the reputation of somebody who's dedicated his entire life to service, that is a slippery slope that I want no part of," Carton said.
"So, you better have this locked down, Pablo, and maybe you do, but to throw out an allegation, attach a dude's name to it? Shame on you."
