RIP TikTok? Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

This week on Long Island Tea, Kristen and Sharon catch up on going viral while talking about Long Island proms! They share their winter cold survival tips, must-try igloo dining experiences, and, of course, spill some piping hot CelebriTEA. Plus, a huge star is making the move to The Hamptons—can you guess who? The ladies also dive into a delicious Taste of Long Island with North Fork Potato Chips. And with the looming threat of a TikTok ban, everyone’s wondering—what will we even do without it?!

#TasteOfLongIsland

A Long Island staple, North Fork Potato Chips are made from farm-fresh potatoes grown on the North Fork. Known for their crispy texture and bold flavors, these chips are a true taste of the region. You can find them, along with other local Long Island products, at the Long Island Welcome Center on the LIE between exits 51 and 52. It's the perfect spot to discover and support local artisans and producers!

Voted #1 potato chip in a Newsday Taste Test in 2022. This recognition highlights their commitment to quality and their status as a local favorite. They’re a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Long Island snack!
