An FBI Hack to Stop People from Interrupting You

 An FBI hack to stop people from interrupting you is going viral on TikTok.  Start your story with a “command pause.” Say something like, “Check this out, it’s nuts” . . . then pause before you launch into it.  It tells the person’s brain that what you’re about to say is important.

Heinz Has a New French Fry Box with a Pull-Out Slot for the Ketchup

Heinz is introducing the Heinz Dipper . . . a fry box designed with a built-in ketchup pocket for easy dipping on the go.

The design features a classic fry box shape . . . with an attached side compartment that can be pulled out.  So instead of juggling packets or squeezing sauce directly onto fries, you can dip into the built-in cup.

The Heinz Dipper debuted at select restaurants yesterday, including sports stadiums across 11 countries worldwide.  For now, it’s mostly a silly publicity stunt, and they’ll only be available “while supplies last.”

And you won’t find them at McDonald’s.  In North America, they’re at a few random burger joints . . . with the biggest place being Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, home of the Maple Leafs.

Lesson of the Day: Don’t Put a Live Leech in Your Bladder

A 23-year-old man from China learned the hard way that it’s NOT a good idea to put a two-inch LIVE LEECH inside your body.

He apparently saw something online that boasted the “miraculous effects” of inserting a leech into your bladder through your urethra. He even went out of his way to get the leech, so he must have totally bought into this alleged “remedy.”

Instead, the leech just caused excruciating pain . . . and an emergency surgery was needed to remove it.  He’s expected to make a full recovery.

Garlic Makes You Smell Sexier

 

Did you know that certain foods might make you smell better, even though it makes your breath terrible?

Take garlic, for example.  It obviously makes your breath smell worse, but it can also make your sweat smell better.

Basically, what you eat affects your body odor in two ways.  Through your gut and through your skin.  As food is digested, gases escape out of your mouth.  And the rest works through your bloodstream and comes out in sweat, where bacteria turn them into smells.

In one study, women were asked to sniff a bunch of men’s worn armpit pads, and they rated those who ate a lot of garlic as more attractive.

The researchers couldn’t believe it.  One said, “We replicated this study three times because we were really surprised.”  (I hope these women were well-compensated.)

They also found that eating a lot of fruits and vegetables helps you smell sweeter and more floral.  And meat-heavy and carb-heavy diets smelled less sexy than the others.

An Amazon Driver Porch Pirate . . . Stole a Woman’s Cat?

An Amazon delivery driver dropped off a package at a home in California, and then took a cat from the front porch.  The “cat porch pirate” was caught on camera.  Amazon says they’re investigating, but it’s been almost a week without an update . . . and the police haven’t been any help.

An Amazon delivery person took our cat, Piper, after he dropped off a package on Thursday evening (12/11/25). We just want her back home safely. We are working with Amazon and local law enforcement, but haven’t had much support in getting help from either one. Amazon has identified the driver but has not been able to get ahold of them. If anyone has any tips on what we can do, let us know! Feel free to share. Thank you! (Lakewood, CA) @amazonprime @amazon @ktla5news @cbsla @abc7la amazon amazonmusthaves theif ktla5news abc7news
