Website tells us whether the Suez Canal ship is still stuck or not.

March 28, 2021 | Eric

Does the outcome of your day hinge upon whether or not that giant ship is still stuck in the Suez Canal?

Don’t worry.  The internet comes to your rescue again.

IsItStillStuck.com is a website that will give you a (relatively) instant update on the 200,000+ ton ship is blocking the man-made waterway that most quickly connects Asia to Europe — which has disrupted trade worldwide.  One estimate says that this could cost $6-10 billion dollars in lost trade.  If that’s true, 😮.  — [eric]

Peeps-Flavored Pepsi Is Now Something That Exists

March 26, 2021 | Tim Virgin

Just because two things taste good separately doesn’t mean they’re going to taste good together.  But, um, maybe this won’t be bad?

Pepsi and Peeps just announced that they’ve teamed up to make a new soda for Easter.  And it’s Pepsi . . . but with a Peeps marshmallow flavor added in.

It comes in a three-pack of cans that are yellow, pink, and blue.

The Peeps Pepsi won’t be going on sale in stores . . . if you want it, you’ll need to enter a contest on Twitter or Instagram.

You’re supposed to take a picture of yourself doing, quote, “your favorite springtime activities in a safe, socially distant manner” and then tag @Pepsi and use the hashtags #HangingWithMyPEEPS and #PepsiSweepstakes.

The entries are due next Wednesday.  They’re going to give away a total of 3,170 three-packs according to the fine print, so you might have decent odds of winning one.

(Here’s a picture.)

Say it Ain’t So … Is Netflix Bailing on “Binging”?

March 24, 2021 | Tim Virgin

 Netflix reinvented TV . . . not just through streaming, but BINGING.  They started the idea of releasing an entire season of a show at once, so you didn’t have to wait a week between each installment.

Well, now they’re experimenting with a more gradual roll-out.

Netflix announced that the second seasons of the unscripted shows “The Circle” and “Too Hot to Handle” will premiere in April and June, respectively.

When “The Circle” first premieres on April 14th, there will only be four episodes . . . with additional batches coming on April 21st, April 28th, and May 5th.  “Too Hot to Handle” will follow a similar pattern, but the exact dates haven’t been announced.

(Maybe because it would be too hot to handle it all at once?  HI-YO!)

In a blog post, Netflix said, quote, “We’re experimenting with the release format so you have time to dissect and dish on every step of the competition as it unfolds.”

(I’m not sure how much “dissecting” is necessary for reality shows, and Netflix didn’t hint at what they may be trying to accomplish.  But it’s hard to believe that they’re actually moving away from binging altogether.)

Guy finds shrimp tails in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch

March 23, 2021 | jmanley

“There are all kinds of shrimp. Fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp cocktail, diablo shrimp, cinnamon toast crunch shrimp…”  -Bubba Gump, probably

 

Cinnamon Toast…..SHRIMP?!?  At some point in your life its inevitable, you will find something gross in your food.  But will it be as gross as what Jensen Karp found at the bottom of his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

&nbsp

GROSS, right?  Actually….am I the only person who thinks that sounds sort of good?  The answer is apparently no!

 

Follow along with this crazy tail (see what i did there?) and all its twists and turns HERE.  What’s the worst thing you’ve found in your food?

Drone Flies Through Erupting Icelandic Volcano … and it’s Magical!

March 23, 2021 | Tim Virgin

Lava is pretty awesome!  If you have been up on current affairs you know that Iceland is having some fun volcano eruptions.

Bjorn Steinbekk has the YouTube channel ‘A guy with a drone’ and he took his drone to the Fagradalsfjall volcano to film. The footage is amazing. These clips are very short. Just a few seconds each. But seeing an actual drone fly through an erupting volcano is simply mind-blowing. In the first clip, he flies through the erupting lava and in the second clip he goes ‘lava surfing’.

I could watch this all day.

Suburban Women Are Washing Their Hair in Toilets

March 23, 2021 | jnettlebeck

We’ve officially been stuck inside for too long. The world of beauty care on TikTok is becoming a dangerous place and these suburban women are guilty of doing the absurd. Watch this video of a woman washing her hair in a toilet.

At some point, somewhere in time, we took a wrong step. We don’t know how we got here, but we’re ready for our mom to pick us up and take us home. This reality is scary and we don’t like it here. This video is a step too far into a reality that we’re very uncomfortable with.

Here’s just a few of our favorite results:
