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…

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…

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…
