In The News:
- National Root Beer Float Day tells us to float a scoop of vanilla ice cream in an ice-cold mug of frothy root beer. The classic beverage creates a creamy treat loved by generations! Also known as the “Black Cow,” the root beer float got its start in Colorado in a mining camp. Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, gets the credit for inventing the “Black Cow” way back in August of 1893.
- Got Milk? The “Got Milk?” ads are back. The ads debuted in 1994 and the campaign is back in part because of the success of milk sales during the pandemic. When people were stocking up their pantries and fridges in March at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, milk sales were up 21 percent year over year… As sales see an increase, a dairy industry-funded group is using that momentum to bring back the famous slogan in a new ad campaign. Rather than the original campaign that included celebrities posing with milk mustaches, the new ads will focus on viral internet memes and moments, such as Katie Ledecky swimming a pool with a glass of milk on her head.
7:30 - Don’t drink hand sanitizer. The CDC is begging you: do not drink hand sanitizer. Health officials don't want you to get methanol poisoning, as methanol is NOT an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizer. A CDC report published Wednesday reveals that four people have died from drinking hand sanitizer, while three of those dead suffered terrible seizures before passing. Others who have drank hand sanitizer have also suffered from seizures, loss of consciousness, stomach issues or loss of vision. 15 cases of methanol poisoning were reported in New Mexico and Arizona - all related to drinking hand sanitizer.
- Chew more, eat less. Weight loss experts remind us over and over again that if we eat too fast, our brain might not recognize that we are full until after we’ve already consumed more than enough calories. And, here’s yet another reason to slow down at mealtimes: chewing more could make you eat less. A study showed that participants who chewed about 2½ times more than the typical 15 times caused them to eat almost 12 percent fewer calories.
- Dogs show love. Want to know if your dog loves you? Watch his left eyebrow. Researchers used high-speed video to capture the subtle facial expressions of 12 dogs of various breeds. Each animal was led into a room divided by a curtained partition. Then the curtains briefly parted, and the dog might see its owner (who was instructed to show no emotions), an unfamiliar person, or an object the dog loved, such as a squeaky ball, or an object it feared, such as nail clippers, for 800 milliseconds. The dogs’ facial expressions varied in response to what they saw… When the dogs saw a person, they lifted their eyebrows — and if the person was their owner, they raised their left eyebrow even higher. Strangers caused the dogs to move their left ears back slightly, a sign of caution. Beloved toys elicited no response, but those dreaded nail clippers caused dogs to twitch their right ears
- Pop a mint and smile on National Fresh Breath Day. The day urges appreciation of oral hygiene and its importance. Dentists and oral care professionals applaud the day dedicated to fighting bad breath.
- Better grades, find smarter friends. Friends can have a hefty influence in how children develop during their adolescent years. Our closest pals help sculpt our tastes, interests, and even personality. Now, a new study finds that a student’s friends also help determine their academic performance and grades. Researchers (National Research University Higher School of Economics) say that students usually perform better academically if their friends are good students as well. Why? Iron sharpens iron, as they say. Hanging out with straight-A students tends to motivate others to step up their academic game.
- Wearing flip flops could kill you. The fashionable footwear are putting the lives of road users at risk. Three in every four drivers have admitted they find it hard to drive in flip flops and road safety experts have warned that wearing the sandals in the car could be a lethal decision. Researchers claim a flip flop, worn by millions, can easily get stuck under the pedals and cause a fatal accident.
- Carjacker gets antifreezed. A man in Germany carjacked a guy and put the owner in the trunk before driving off. Then he thought, what if the car’s owner has a phone? He could call for help! So the carjackers pulled over and opened the trunk — and got a face full of antifreeze, which the car’s owner had left in the trunk. He also had his phone and called the police right away.

- Weight loss surgery. Five years after weight loss surgery, obese patients may regain many of the pounds they initially shed. While surgery remains more effective for lasting weight loss than alternatives such as dieting and exercising, the Israeli study findings suggest that doctors still have more to learn about which patients will get the most benefit from operations and what strategies can make the initial results stick. Globally, over 2 billion adults are overweight or obese.
- Stalker likes Christmas Tunes. In Spain a guy pleaded guilty to having stalked a woman for nearly three years. His trial was postponed a couple of times because he would randomly start singing Christmas tunes.
- What’s in your belly button. Research shows if you’re an innie and not an outie, your belly button is home to at least 60 to 100 or more species of bacteria, fungi and yeasts. The findings demonstrate how a belly button can become a haven for complex biodiversity. And although North Carolina State University researchers say they find 60 or 70 species of bacteria in the average belly button, they’ve found more than 1,400 species overall.
