What Food Is Each State Weirdly Obsessed With?
Researchers at the University of Arizona have supposedly figured out which FOOD each state is weirdly obsessed with.
They analyzed 3.5 million tweets between October of last year and May of this year, where people hashtagged different foods.
In other words, they figured out what food people in every state are TWEETING about far more than the average across the country. So . . . not an exact science.
Some of the results fall in line with what you'd expect: Most of the states in the south are obsessed with grits . . . Arizona's top obsession is tamales . . . Idaho is obsessed with potatoes . . . and Texas likes brisket.
And then, there are some completely random results: California is obsessed with caviar . . . Wyoming is obsessed with watercress . . . North Dakota's loves flan . . . Mississippi loves tangerines . . . and Oklahoma is obsessed with pickles.

The prize for physics went to a team from Japan that studied the amount of friction between a shoe and a banana peel . . . to figure out the amount of friction that would cause someone to slip like in cartoons.
The prize for neuroscience went to a team from China that tried to figure out what happens in people's brains when they see Jesus on a piece of toast.

Three Health Mistakes You're Making Every Day
1. You brush your teeth right after breakfast. It IS actually good to wait until after breakfast to brush. Because if you brush first, you have food in your teeth all morning.
But brushing RIGHT after breakfast can weaken your enamel, especially if you had anything acidic, like fruit or orange juice. So ideally, you should brush before breakfast . . . swish with water right after you eat . . . and then brush again 40 minutes later.
2. You drive to work with your windows down. It's bad because air pollution on roads and highways can be ten times higher than normal from all the car exhaust. Which can cause headaches, and contribute to cancer and heart disease.
So when it's hot out, keep your windows up, and hit the "recirculate" button on your air-conditioning. That way you're not breathing the air from outside.
3. You drive home after one or two drinks at happy hour. Even if you're under the legal limit, it's a bad idea. In fact, people with a blood alcohol level of just .01 are 46% more likely to cause a crash than sober drivers.
