It seems like even superstar celebrities aren’t immune to recession fears and want a side hustle.

While beauty brands have been the avenue du jour for A-listers who want another venture (think: Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and now SZA), the market is saturated, so celebrities are looking elsewhere to make an extra buck (or a few million).

Now, the grocery aisle might be the new red carpet. Here are six of the most interesting celebrity food brands you can buy today.

Dolly Parton: Baking With Dolly mixes, frostings, and more

Dolly Parton wants you to have your cake and eat it, too — and not just from 9-5. The music legend has teamed up with Duncan Hines (CAG) to release boxed mixes for cakes, cookies, brownies, biscuits, etc.; frostings; frozen pies and frozen meals; and more — including a bottle of syrup shaped like a guitar.

Glen Powell: Smash Kitchen hot sauce

Glen Powell is going from Top Gun to top condiments. The breakout movie star teamed up with Walmart (WMT) to launch organic, non-GMO takes on classic sauces — ketchup, mustard, mayo, and BBQ sauce — as part of his plan to sauce up your screen time and your life.

Jennifer Garner: Once Upon a Farm organic meals for babies and kids

Jennifer Garner has a farm. E-I-E-I-O. The actress is a co-founder of Once Upon a Farm, which sells clean baby food and kids snacks — in refrigerated pouches, frozen meals, oat bars, and pantry snacks.

Cardi B: Whipshots boozy whipped cream

WAP: Whip and Pour. Cardi B’s Whipshots are canisters of vodka-infused whipped cream that come in flavors such as vanilla, mocha, caramel, strawberry, and lime. And they’re strong, too: 10% alcohol, so you can whip it real good.

Ed Sheeran: Tingly Ted’s hot sauce

I’m in love with the shape of… your hot sauce bottle? Ed Sheeran launched hot-sauce brand Tingly Ted’s to be the “ketchup of hot sauces” and go on everything. There are two flavors: tingly and xtra tingly.

Tom Hanks: Hanx for Our Troops coffee

Tom Hanks’ coffee brand is all about giving back. Hanx for Our Troops is designed to support those who have served America — past and present — and their families by giving 100% of its net profits to organizations that provide critical support and resources. The company offers grounds, pods, and coffee sticks in one flavor: a strong and smooth “First Class Joe.”
