While Coca-cola attempts to give itself a healthier image buy purchasing Glaceau (makers of Vitamin Water), they had better address the fact that sodium benzoate can turn into the carcinogen benzene when mixed with vitamin C. Better yet, they should take out the sodium benzoate AND drop high fructose corn syrup in favor of the crystalline fructose that Glaceau uses. One thing’s for sure, if Coke causes cancer, Echanos and I are screwed. There were a few years where I think I even brushed my teeth with it.
Another food-related item to watch out for: too much salt. In addition to causing heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure, scientists have discovered that a high salt intake can cause gastric ulcers and even gastric cancer. I know a few folks in the “salt everything” demographic, so consider yourselves warned!
Everyone’s seen a ‘trash car’ at least once. You know the kind… the interior is full of garbage except for the driver’s seat, and you’re amazed that they’re able to drive it. Well, here’s a collection of trash car photos. I’m sure Echanos’ days of yore at the E-Check provided some impressive candidates for this type of thing.
What is it with celebrities getting DUIs these days? It’s all the rage, I hear. Anyway, Little Miss Lindsay Lohan got herself arrested for drunk driving on Saturday, and naturally she brought along a little blow, so you can toss in that charge as well. All I know is, I’m never driving anywhere around Hollywood with all these fucked-up celebrities playing bumper cars!
Make your own air horn out of household items. Here’s the list of supplies: balloon, rubber band, film canister, straw, scissors. I thought I had a film canister and can’t find it, plus I definitely don’t have a balloon. Someone tell me if it works!
