If you go to the official Taco Bell website, you may be greeted with a picture that shows that flatbread tacos are coming. In the picture you can see the beef and chicken with cheese and lettuce, tomatoes and sauce piled up on top of them. Then if you look in the upper left corner of the main page, you’ll see an orange bar with text that reads: Sorry if we can’t feed your current crave. Due to national ingredient shortages and delivery delays, we may be out of some items. Yes, that’s right, it’s a hard truth to face…

Remember how people used to say “You can’t believe everything you see online?” Well, here’s a startling piece of information related to that- “YOU CAN’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ONLINE!” The reason for that second iteration in this piece is thanks to a piece of viral media that has seemingly convinced some people that a “secret menu” item exists at popular burger chain In-N-Out. The item in question? A chicken sandwich. As you can see in the clip above, TikTok user, andynot2021, it certainly looks like he got a chicken sandwich on his tray, but the slick bit of editing…

It’s not often you see a criminal case of theft finally resolved after fifty years, but it’s also not very often where the item in question that was stolen, was a rifle from the Revolutionary War. That’s exactly what happened though in Pennsylvania on July 20th, 2021 when Thomas Gavin pleaded guilty to this unique case of larceny. Gavin, who’s currently 78 years old, would’ve been in his late 20s when he went to the Valley Forge State Park visitor center. While there, he stole an antique rifle out of its display case and held onto it for several decades.…

On Friday July 16th, the Nabisco plant located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey officially shut down. It wasn’t a sudden decision- the plan had been in place for months for this to happen- but it’s still surreal in a way to see something thriving for 63 years suddenly cease to be. The approximately 600 people who worked there have had to find new occupations, something that can’t be easy in the midst of bouncing back from a global pandemic. Suffice to say, despite the sugary goods prepared at the plant, this farewell is far more bitter than sweet. Nabisco is…

A Florida man not only stole an alligator from a golf corse, but decided to “teach it a lesson” by throwing it on a roof.

In 1980, a film called “Alligator” was released. In said film, a young girl buys a baby alligator only for her jerk of a father to end up flushing it down the toilet. As it so happens, the alligator winds up in the sewers and eats the disposed carcasses of other animals that were being experimented on with a growth serum. The alligator in turn grows to a monstrous, 30 plus feet in size and eventually emerges from the sewer to wreak havoc on a city. Now imagine this happening with goldfish, minus the growth serum. Okay, so perhaps that’s…

The quest for excitement, influence, fame, and thrills can be a tragic and deadly road. Every so often a news report will make the rounds stating that someone was injured or killed while in the middle of recording a video or taking a selfie in a precarious location or activity. Such was the fate of Sophia Cheung, when she passed away last week at the far too young age of 32. Cheung’s Instagram page is not for the acrophobic. A number of pictures show her atop of mountains, hills, with sprawling vistas spreading out before her. On some of them…

Oh “SilverHawks,” even with your metal wings, you never truly had the chance to soar. Sure you came from the same pedigree that brought the world “ThunderCats,” but your space-faring adventures just never caught on. But now thanks to The Nacelle Company and Silverhawks LLC, the team of 29th-century partly metallic heroes are going to fly again. For those unfamiliar with the property, “SilverHawks” was an animated series that originally ran in 1986 and attempted to ride the wave of popularity that had been created the year prior by “ThunderCats.” Both series were produced by Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment and distributed…

It’s one of the most influential games of all time, as well as one of the most beloved. “Super Mario 64” hasn’t aged well in some aspects; with its rough polygonal graphics and frustrating camera controls, some of the gaming elements it pioneered have been refined and executed far better in the games that would follow it. That being said, it’s still Mario. Perhaps that’s why a sealed, pristine copy of “Super Mario 64” just sold at auction for $1,560,000 from Heritage Auctions. Yup, that’s right0- over $1.5 million for a boxed, sealed, very well kept copy of Mario’s 1996…

Contrary to what the late, great, painter Bob Ross might tell you, not all trees are happy and little. The Buchholtz family of Prairieville, Louisiana found this out in devastating fashion on July 2nd, 2021 when an oak tree fell through their home. Fortunately, everyone is safe, but thanks to some startling footage from a baby monitor, it’s apparent how close the family came to tragedy. It’s a good thing that Cannon Buchholtz is only 5-months-old, as he won’t grow up to remember the night that debris rained down on him following the loud crash of a tree decimating his…
