In a recent TikTok video, Reese Witherspoon found herself at the center of a social media storm after she shared a video of herself indulging in an icy treat made from freshly fallen snow. The actress, known for her roles in movies like Legally Blonde and The Morning Show, faced criticism from some internet users and shared a series of video responses.
When late August and early September is nearing, most kids feel these anxiety butterflies in their stomach. And the same butterflies also visit their parents, since all the back and forth to school and the extracurricular activities can be seen in the horizon. But we never really focus on the parents and that is simply a mistake. That’s why we chose to compile 12 products that will make every custodian’s life a bit easier during the school year.
Pets are not just creatures we can cuddle with but also beings that relax us, understand us when we feel sad, and treat us like family. And they are our family since they sleep in our homes and eat from our hands. So it’s understandable that we want to offer them everything we can and buy them tools and toys to make their lives easier and better. Hopefully, these 11 products will bring even more joy and comfort to your pet and yourself.
A weird white spot on a banana is a sure sign you probably wanna throw them away as these are the nests of spiders. I’m talking about the Brazilian wandering spider, as it has no GPS. And this guy is dangerous, also known as the world’s most venomous spider. One bite and your nervous system is instantly blocked — as a nasty bonus you get nausea and blurred vision. Don’t worry, they’re most likely to be found in South America, but since they like to hide, they can sneak into the banana box and travel wherever the bananas travel. They like to travel in their sack and there is evidence of a mama spider traveling together with her baby spiders. Oh, goody!
Good food should never go to waste, and KitKat manufacturers stick to this rule. It was spotted once that messed up KitKats ended up in a large blue bin. Then they go through a “reworking” process. The candy is first combined with cocoa liquor, then some sugar is added there. And in the end, the manufacturer gets the paste that’s used to glue the waffles inside each KitKat bar. So the KitKat filling is made of messed up KitKats.
Do you know what to do when your gym gear gets stuck with pesky stains after your workout? There’s an easy way to get rid of them. Take two aspirin tablets, crush them, and then add warm water. Proceed to apply the mixture to the stains and let it work its magic for about two hours. Wash as normal afterward, and it should do the trick. On the same refreshing note, you can keep your fridge smelling nice and clean using newspaper. I mean literally, not by browsing for the nearest cleaning company to help you with your chores. Just place some newspaper sheets in the bins of your fridge. They can absorb some moisture, keeping the fridge smelling nicer for longer.
Apples you usually grab in the supermarket seem super fresh, but they can be up to a year old. It’s all about how they’re stored: first, they’re covered with wax. Next, the wax is dried with hot air, and finally, the apples go into cold storage.
You know, garlic might not smell like roses because of the sulfur-containing compounds it has, but the odor won’t bother you before long since you’ll get used to it. As a benefit, that smell will have a calming effect, helping you sleep safe and sound. It’s even better if you eat it! Garlic contains vitamin B1 that is responsible for producing melatonin, a sleep hormone.
Next time you follow a recipe where you need to separate egg yolks from whites, try this. Peel a clove of garlic and rub your fingers with it. Carefully break an egg into a bowl. With your garlicky fingers, pick up the yolk. Voilà. You can now marvel at how perfectly it separates from the egg white. If it’s egg-peeling time, there are two easy ways to do it. When cooking eggs, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the boiling water. This will make peeling eggs much easier. You can also place them under cold running water as soon as they’re ready. The eggshells will come off much easier. And you won’t burn your hands while peeling the eggs.
If you’re struggling with opening a container or a jar, don’t exert yourself too much. Just run the lid under hot water for half a minute, then dry it for a better grip, and see how it “magically” opens.
A hard-boiled egg will always have a strange little dent on the bottom when it’s peeled. This is caused by a natural air pocket that resides between the white and the shell. When heated, the air expands and escapes through the shell’s pores but not before the egg sets. So the larger end of the egg ends up being flat! If you poke a small hole in the big end of the egg, it lets the air inside escape, giving your egg a much smoother and rounder shape. It may also help with removing the shell after as well!
The first vegetable peeler was invented in 1947 by a man who was annoyed that peeling potatoes by hand was too time-consuming.

The food we like may be linked to our taste buds, as some people have more taste buds and some have fewer. Supertasters are people who have an abundance of taste buds. This category has intense loves and dislikes for foods. Subtasters, on the other hand, have a low number of taste buds and are unexcited about most meals.

As humans, we’re very curious beings and have the urge to learn and understand things.

There are a few different labels on products that inform you about the freshness of food. For example, “sell by” labels are just so stores know when to pull a product from their shelves. “Best if used by” labels tell us that it might still be safe to eat something after that date, but its flavor might not be the same. So maybe those dates aren’t exactly an indicator that we should throw products away and buy fresh ones.

People are so used to storing food in the fridge that they don’t really think about what’s really worth putting in there and what’s better off being kept at room temperature. Even when the packaging says “store in a cool dry place,” we automatically put the item into the fridge.
Many of us have heard facts about certain foods that we believed to be true — only to discover later that these were a myth.

It’s challenging enough trying to keep a healthy weight and eat right, and getting misinformation about health and nutrition can give you yet another reason to worry.

That’s infuriating alright, but there’s something even worse: finding a full bag of chips that’s been kept open for days, just laying there on the kitchen countertop. And even worse than that, finding traces of jam in the peanut butter. These things, despite being “not that big a deal” actually remain annoying for a long time. Just thinking about them is enough to make you want to pull your hair out.
