Today is International Beer Day!  To celebrate, here are seven myths about beer you might still believe . . .     1.  Drinking a lot of beer gives you a beer belly.     Beer on its own doesn't cause a belly.  It's a combination of too many calories in general and a sedentary lifestyle.     2.  Dark beers are stronger than light beers.     Light beers are lighter in color and body, but that doesn't mean dark beers have more alcohol.  For example, Guinness contains 4.2% ABV . . . while Budweiser is stronger at 5%.   [...]

There are a lot of reasons we LOVE going to state fairs every year:  Rides and carnival games . . . seeing farm animals up close . . . checking out a concert by someone who used to be famous . . . and witnessing tatted-up Gen Z'ers walking around with oversized stuffed animals.     But the #1 answer is:  THE FOOD . . . most of which is fried or on a stick.  And some states REALLY deliver.     Yelp analyzed their data from reviewers to identify the "Top 10 State Fairs for Festival Foods," and perhaps not [...]

It's National Drive-Thru Day . . . and while many people wouldn't say fast food is CHEAP anymore, a lot of us do appreciate the CONVENIENCE, assuming the line keeps moving.     A recent report analyzed the average drive-thru wait times at fast-food joints . . . and there's something to the saying, "good things come to those who wait."     As for the FASTEST, Taco Bell ranked #1, by total time, for the FIFTH consecutive year . . . with an average total time of 256 seconds, or just over four minutes.  (They're probably helped by a tight [...]

Some bank robbers try to PUT THEIR OWN TOUCH on the classic, "slip the teller a note" thing . . . and this is definitely a new one.     A man in Maryland went into a pet store on Monday, and stole a three-month-old rescue kitten named Magnolia from the cat adoption area, using a key, when no one was looking.     Then the guy took the kitten to a PNC Bank next door . . . and used poor Magnolia as an accessory in an attempt to ROB THE PLACE.     Apparently, he went in with the [...]

People in Boston don't have a reputation for bad tempers or aggressiveness, so this is a surprise.  Just kidding! They're all nuts.     Allstate just released the results of their annual study on the best and worst drivers in America, and the WORST drivers are in Boston.  In fact, Boston drivers are 189% more likely to be involved in a collision than the national average.  (Even if they have SMAHT PAHK???)     The rankings are based on the average number of years people go between accidents, and the overall accident rate in the 200 biggest cities in the country.   [...]

We're heading into July, which is National Ice Cream Month.  National Ice Cream DAY isn't until the 19th . . . it's always the THIRD Sunday of July . . . but tomorrow is National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day.     So if you're champing at the bit to go out and celebrate, what's your go-to flavor?     A recent report used data from Google to determine the most popular ice cream flavors in every state . . . and some states went the classic route, while others go for the more unique stuff.     Overall, America's Top [...]
