Reese Witherspoon got some backlash after sharing a video making a "snow salt chococinno" using snow from her backyard. In the clip, she uses a coffee mug to scoop up snow that had piled on top of a car and adds chocolate syrup, salted caramel syrup, and cold brew.
Fans were quick to comment that snow can be dirty and can make you seriously ill.
But Reese isn't worried, quote, "OK, so we're kind of in a category of 'You only live once' and it snows maybe once a year here. I don't know! Also, I want to say something: It was delicious . . ."OK, talking about the snow not being filtered, I didn't grow up drinking filtered water . . . Maybe that's why I'm like this. So what you're saying to me is I have to filter the snow before I eat it? I just can't. Filtered snow."

A woman in Frisco, Texas named Makenzie Waters made a list of her husband's go-to reactions when he watches the Cowboys, like making the "first down" gesture or yelling "let's go" . . . and she turned them into a Bingo card.
She made it a drinking game, so she takes a drink each time she crosses one off. A video of it blew up on TikTok this week after ESPN shared it. Here are a few of the squares she came up with . . .
1. He makes a "touchdown gesture."
2. He pretends to throw a flag.
3. He yells, "GET HIM!"
4. "Quiet clap"
5. He yells, "WHYYYY!?"
6. "Head down, eyes closed."
7. He yells, "What are we DOING?"
8. He gets up and "walks down the hall."
9. "Crosses arms"
10. "Aggressively pets dog"
If you get a Bingo, you have to chug the rest of your drink.
With the games this weekend, if you have an animated football watcher..Try it!

According to new data from the Pew Research Center, a whopping 99% of Americans have a local Mexican restaurant. "Local" is within the same COUNTY . . . meaning you don't have to cross any borders to get your taco fix: Federal, state, or local.
Overall, 85% of U.S. counties have a Mexican restaurant, but the 15% that don't are so sparsely populated that, together, they only have 4 million people, which is about 1% of the population.
As of last year, there were more than 788,000 restaurants in America . . . and more than 80,000 of them served Mexican food. That's about 11%. And more than half of them are in California, Texas, Illinois, New York, and Florida.
Some 12% of all restaurants in the United States serve Asian food.
Around three-quarters of all counties in the U.S. (73%) have at least one Asian restaurant of any kind.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - The first Apple computer went on sale in July of 1976 and cost $666.66. Steve Wozniak picked the price because he liked repeating numbers . . . he had no idea about the Satanic implications. (Some people would say he was right picking those numbers.)
