I think we can add this to the list of crap we really don’t need, but if slurping noodles drives you nuts this may be a solution. This electric-toothbrush looking fork connects to your phone and plays an equally, if not more annoying sound, every time it detects a slurp. Hurry. They only made 5,000. You gotta think the return on investment would be much better if they went with a spoon. You can do way more slurping with a spoon.

It’s almost Halloween, and that means candy, candy and more candy. But why should kids have all the fun of the season? Here are some tips for pairing your favorite craft beers with your favorite Halloween candies.
Gummy Worms
Illuminated BrewworksĀ Astronaut Orange Juice
“Itās an unfiltered New England-style IPA, and it mimics the taste of Tang, hence the name,” explains Gatz. “Even if each end of the worm is flavored differently, most of those flavors will go well with the orange.”
Snickers
Alter Brewing CompanyĀ Dan’s Brown
“I donāt know about you, but when I eat chocolate, it makes me a little thirsty,” says Katz. “People usually go with milk, but I think a brown ale washes it down and brings out the flavors of it.” This brown ale from Alter has toffee and caramel notes, which pair well with snickers.

THESE DAYS IT’S DIFFICULTĀ NOT to find yourself in the general vicinity of an outstanding burger. Americans’ love of all forms of beef between buns has grown so passionate that it seems like every restaurant that opens feels compelled to put a burger on its menu. (MORE HERE)
Now I have my retirement plan. Of course you can’t have a list of “Best Burger Joints In America” w/o including Chicago. See below which Chicago establishment made the list + some regional favorites as well.
Don’t let the moniker fool you — Kopp’s is very much a burger joint, although the burgers and the custard are by no means mutually exclusive experiences.
In the years since 1947, a lot has changed in the Detroit area, but through thick and thin, one thing has remained a constant: the burger at Millerās Bar.
One could arguably call Small Cheval’s older sibling Au Cheval a burger joint, given the way its signature burger became a nationwide sensation that still inspires two-hour waits. But the burger is still but a single item on a wide-ranging menu.
One of the things people are super excited for this Halloween is not the sexy fidget spinner costume (yes, that lame idea is real) but it may be the stream dream that is Season 2 of the 80’s throwback of the horror/scifi series ‘Stranger Things’ on Netflix. The early reviews are coming in and it looks like our collective expectations of the weird goings-on in Hawkins, IN will be met with a delightful adventure ofĀ charismatic kids, interdenominational monsters, and the conspiracy to concealĀ all the chaosĀ from the public. New episodes are going up on Netflix this Friday, October 27th so get your Eggo waffles ready.
Here is a look at the early reviews with NO SPOILERS.
Stranger ThingsĀ had an almost impossible task when it came to following up on a first season that had near-universal acclaim. That itās still engaging, gorgeous looking, and smartly written is a truly impressive feat. The show didnāt hit any reset buttons; it let every character grow and change, and itās just remarkable. This is a show growing naturally into itself and does everything to make the nine-hour commitment worth it. –Ā Gizmodo
Much of the new season asks various residents of Hawkins where their true homes are. Itās not a spoiler to say that they find refuge, as most of us do ā if weāre lucky ā in each other. –Ā Variety
Here the team at Collider breaks down everything they could from the first six episodes released to press for reviews. It looks like a grand return for the most talked about TV show in years.
Plus the soundtrack for this show continues it’s new wave synth-nightmare vibe which is just a great spice to already great stew that is ‘Stranger Things’. Listen toĀ the creeptacularĀ track -by-track preview for Season 2, done by composersĀ Ā Kyle DixonĀ andĀ Michael Stein.
A guy in Canada was singing C&C Music Factory’s “Everybody Dance Now” while driving when 4 cops pulled him over and hit him with a ticket for $149. Granted, it’s not the best song, but that’s nuts!
What song would you be caught belting out while driving?
This Halloween display has neighbors in New Jersey all bent out of shape. They even called the police because they felt it was so realistic. Did they owner go too far or is this just another example of #fakeoutrage? NJ.Com has the entire story and more pics HERE.
