      Oreo “Cakesters” Are Back for the First Time in a Decade

      Has enough time passed to feel nostalgic about the year 2007?  The people at Nabisco seem to think so.  They just brought back Oreo CAKESTERS 15 years after they debuted. If you don’t remember Cakesters, they’re a softer version of Oreos that look more like a Whoopie Pie.  They were around for about five years, and some people loved them.  But they got discontinued in 2012. Over the weekend, they started selling them at the last Blockbuster on Earth in Bend, Oregon . . . because it’s the, quote, “only place where it’s still 2007.”  But you’ll also be able to get them at select…

      New TikTok Challenge: Can You Successfully Peel a Raw Egg?

      After eating Tide Pods and falling off milk crates, it’s almost refreshing to see a TikTok challenge that’s ONLY about wasting food:  The new TikTok trend is to film yourself trying to peel an egg that’s still RAW.  Which IS possible, apparently. It’s something doctors and dentists do in school to practice their skills, and it’s VERY hard to do without piercing the membrane inside the shell.  The most popular tools to use seem to be tweezers and cuticle pushers.  You just have to be patient and break off tiny pieces. Getting the last few pieces seems to be the hardest part. …

      Did You Do Nothing This Weekend?

      Hopefully you had a nice, relaxing weekend.  But was it TOO relaxing?  Is that even possible? Someone polled over 5,000 Americans and asked if they ever feel guilty for taking a full day to do nothing. That means you probably slept in . . . lounged around all day . . . got zero accomplished . . . and went back to sleep. According to the poll, most Americans DON’T feel guilty.  58% said they feel good after taking a day off like that . . . 42% feel guilty. You’d think that as we age, we’d feel more and…

      Debt Collectors Are Now Permitted to Slide into Your DMs

      No one is ever excited to be contacted by DEBT COLLECTORS . . . but their attempts to reach you could get even more annoying, because now they’re allowed to SLIDE INTO YOUR DMs. New regulations went into effect this week that let collectors reach out to people through their social media accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. About one-third of U.S. adults with a credit report currently have debt in collections. If you’re one of those people, you should know that debt collectors must abide by several rules. They can’t butter you up with heart and eggplant emojis .…
