Not everyone is looking forward to the FOOTBALL aspect of the Super Bowl!
A study diving into the big game found that people average out just 29 minutes of actual gameplay watched.
Let’s dive into the numbers:
- 40% of people will attend or host a party, but the majority are there for commercials and food.
- 9% of respondents admitted they won’t know which teams are playing until game time!
- 29% said they’ll spend more time in front of the food table than the TV.
- 55% said they’re more excited for the halftime show than the actual game.
Are you watching the game next Sunday? What foods are you having?
Let me know!

Daily WTF – Floating sauna rescues sunken Tesla in Norway
If you were to picture what happens in Norway when a vehicle leaves the roadway and plunges into the water, you’d be correct in thinking that a floating sauna would rescue them. A Tesla managed to find its way into a fjord (body of water). Lucky for the driver, there was a floating sauna nearby, and the people inside were able to maneuver the building towards the car. I’d like to imagine that they don’t have a navy in Norway, just a fleet of floating saunas that are sent out on command. Read more here…
Grammys 2024 Quick Recap
The Grammys were held on Sunday night! Billed as the biggest night in music recognition, the Grammys are one of the four major awards in the entertainment industry, alongside Emmys, Oscars, and Tonys. Heading into the night, the big question was ‘Will Taylor Swift make history?’ And she did! Swift was tied with Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Frank Sinatra for most ever ‘Best Album’ awards with three. She won on Sunday night, giving her sole possession of 1st place. Swift was actually given the award by Celine Dion, who made a surprise appearance. Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish were the other big winners on Sunday, winning Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Tracy Chapman also performed her song ‘Fast Car’ with Luke Combs, who had released a cover of the song last year. It was an awesome performance. All in all, a great night in music for the Grammys!

How often will Taylor Swift be shown during the Super Bowl? Now you can bet on it
The Super Bowl is famous for the vast amount of sporting bets you can make on it. Heads or tails to start the game? They have it. How long will the national anthem go for? You can bet that. The colour of the winning team’s gatorade? Obviously. New this year, TAYLOR SWIFT! The biggest name in music is expected to be at the game, and you can bet on a wide range of props that feature Swift. According to reports, you can bet on her eating a hot dog during the broadcast; the colours she’s wearing; which Swift song the broadcast will play first; and, will Travis Kelce propose after the game, among others. Sports betting has been a predominantly male field, but sports betting has never included Taylor Swift on one of the grandest stages of them all. So, in the wise words of Shania Twain, “Let’s Go, Girls“…
Educators played the same Powerball numbers for years, then hid their winning ticket in a math book
A group of 30 educators in a Kentucky town have been playing the US Powerball lottery together for eight years. They’ve been playing the same numbers every time, like most people. Recently, those numbers finally hit. They didn’t win the outrageous jackpot, but they got a $1 million. They all collectively drove to the office to collect the cheque, with the winning ticket hidden away in the best hiding place they could think of: an old math textbook. Each winner received roughly $24,000 after taxes. Some plan to invest, others (likely the retired ones) are aiming to travel or fix up their homes. We could also use an extra $24,000 in our bank accounts… that’s for sure. Read more here…

Insomniacs should consider snacking before bed, experts claim — here’s what to eat
We’ve been told all of our lives that it’s not good to snack before bed. For the most part, that’s true. Chips, cookies, a whole lasagna – these foods would likely lead to weight gain if eaten before bed due to their nutritional value and how your body processes food during sleep. It could also keep you up at night with things like heartburn and indigestion. Thing is, a nutritionist says this isn’t accurate for ALL foods. There are some foods that you SHOULD eat before bed, and could even improve your sleep! The list of lavender and chamomile tea, kiwis, and walnuts as healthy late-night snacking solutions. A nice little boost to help you not hit the snooze. Read more here…
TikToker Uses 46-Year-Old Admission Ticket to Enter Disney World
Would you like to go to Disney World for $8? Mathew Ables found a ticket to the Disney theme park from 1978. It hadn’t been used, and he noticed one significant thing about it: it didn’t have an expiration date. Occam’s razor, folks! The most likely solution is the most simple solution. If there’s no expiration date, the ticket is still active! Ables brought the ticket to Disney World, and managed to get in! He’s since gone viral, and has actually inspired others to use their old unused Disney World tickets.
