Here's a weird food combo we didn't see coming:  For National Pizza Party Day tomorrow, Pepsi worked with the Culinary Institute of America and came up with Pepsi-infused PEPPERONI.  (???) They're calling it "Pepsi-Roni."  They say the Pepsi adds a "citrusy sweetness" to it.  New Yorkers can try it tomorrow at a pizza place in Lower Manhattan.  Then they're planning to offer it up in other cities soon, but haven't said where yet.  (Here's a photo.) For everyone who can't try it, they're doing two different pizza-related deals tomorrow:  You can get $5 off a DoorDash pizza order if you buy a Pepsi with it. And [...]

Would you say you're an introvert or an extrovert? According to a recent survey, you're twice as likely to say one of those . . . and it's INTROVERT.  That means you prefer being alone, or hanging out with a few people instead of big groups. A thousand Americans were polled.  56% said they're an introvert, and only 28% said extrovert.  The other 15% or so said they had no idea what they are. They broke the stats down even further than that too:  Only 13% said they're a "complete introvert" . . . and 43% said "mostly" introverted. 23% said [...]

Now that we've all binged cooking competition shows on TV, we THINK we know what we're doing in the kitchen. There's a thread online where people are sharing the cooking "rules" that they ALWAYS ignore . . . like "don't put pepper on steak, because it'll just burn."  Here are a few that people mentioned: Throwing out a whole block of cheese when there's a little mold on it. Using olive oil while cooking, instead of cheaper oils with higher smoke-points. Don't cook with wine, tomatoes, or anything acidic in cast iron pans. Don't eat uncooked cookie dough. Unsalted butter in a recipe.  [...]

The Internet can't decide if it loves or hates this easy way to slice a frozen pizza.  The hack is that you DON'T slice it.  You take the packaged frozen pie, put it on the edge of the counter halfway, and hit the outer edge so it breaks in half. Then you rotate it, and repeat.  When you get it out of the oven, it's precut.  Some people who saw the clip thought it was "genius."  Others weren't impressed, saying it has to be baked on a pan, because if it's cooked on the rack, the cheese will leak.   @trendkingsOkay definitely the [...]

Neighbors can be competitive about the dumbest stuff . . . you mention that you haven't had 15 minutes to pick some weeds, and they talk about how exhausting it's been installing a new sauna in their backyard. A recent poll asked people what outdoor features they'd want . . . specifically to make their neighbors jealous.  Here's the list:   1.  A guest house or gazebo to hang out in. 2.  A hot tub. 3.  A pizza oven. 4.  A cozy seating area. 5.  An outdoor drinks bar. 6.  An outdoor projector to show movies. 7.  Outdoor heating . .

Gas prices are up, but we're doing what we can to avoid WALKING anywhere.  Sales of E-SCOOTERS have skyrocketed, according to a new report.  And more people in cities are using them to commute. The makers of Bird scooters say sales are up 60% compared to the same time last year, and web traffic was up 30% in March.  A website called FluidFreeRide.com sells e-scooters too, and they say the same thing.  Sales are up 70%, and they've had 30% more web traffic since gas prices shot up. I've ridden the Bird scooters before, we should get more than just the ones [...]

Here's a good tip to start the workweek:  A new study found your co-workers might actually like to hear your thoughts on how BAD they are at their job . . . as long as it's "constructive" criticism. It found most people are more receptive to feedback than you think.  But we usually don't say anything, because we don't like confrontation, and don't want to seem rude. If it's something major, we're even less likely to speak up.  But we even let dumb stuff slide.  For example, less than 3% of people in the study told a researcher they had a smudge on [...]
