National Hot Sauce Day was yesterday. Instacart released a big report that looked at which states use the most hot sauce per capita based on last year's sales.
New Mexico tops the list at 31.9 ounces per customer, followed by Alaska and Colorado. Alabama ordered the least at 16.6 ounces.
They also looked at each state's favorite hot sauce brand. Out of the eight that dominate, Frank's RedHot is #1 in 28 different states. It's the top choice in the Northeast, most of the Midwest, and a bunch of other states across the U.S.

A new report looked at the most common four-digit PINs for things like ATM passwords and unlocking your phone . . . and "6969" made the Top 10.
They didn't have access to people's current passwords, obviously. They came up with the list by looking at PINs that have been exposed on the dark web.
As always, the most popular passwords aren't ones experts would suggest using.
1. 1234. If you guess that one, you've got a one in nine chance of being right. 11% of all the four-digit passwords they found were "1234."
2. 1111. That one made up another 6% of all passwords.
3. 0000
4. 1212
5. 7777. So, "Lucky 7's" . . . until someone drains your account.
6. 1004 . . . as in, "Ten-four, good buddy."
7. 2000
8. 4444
9. 2222
10. 6969.
In general, most people start their PIN with a number between 1 and 5. Very few start with a 6, 7, 8, 9, or zero.

An annual Gallup poll found lobbyist is the least trusted profession on their list of 23 jobs.
Only 4% of Americans rate them as more honest and ethical than average. The next least-trusted profession is . . . being a member of Congress.
The rest of the bottom five are TV reporters
advertising practitioners
car salespeople.
Nurses were voted the most trusted profession for the 24th year in a row. 76% of Americans rate them as more honest and ethical than average. Then it's grade school teachers
military officers
pharmacists
doctors.
