In a new poll, 24% of people say it's easier for them to fall asleep WITH the TV ON in the background. They didn't specify what show.
40% of people say they CAN'T fall asleep with the TV on . . . and 30% say it doesn't matter either way.
Younger adults were more likely to say they could fall asleep in any situation, while older folks were most likely to prefer NO TV.
65% of people say they have a TV in their bedroom. The number was higher among conservatives in the South.
14% of people say there is "always" a TV on when they're falling asleep . . . whether they like it or not. 25% say it's "usually" or "sometimes" on . . . while 53% say it's "rarely" or "never" on. The demographic most likely to say the TV is "always" on are middle-aged women in the South.

Time to debate the internet's latest batch of food-related hot takes.
Which of these are relatable. . . and which are criminal?
1. Mint chocolate is nasty. Quote, "Mint chocolate ice cream is okay, but everything else tastes like toothpaste."
2. Whoever invented "ants on a log" should be forever socially shunned.
(The most common is peanut butter on celery, with raisins or blueberry "ants" on top.)
3. Mushrooms are the devil's food.
4. Boxed mac-and-cheese is better than the restaurant version.
5. Sweet does not belong with savory or salty. Quote, "Every time someone raves about candied bacon, a piece of my soul dies."
6. Raw tomatoes are disgusting. Quote, "They taste metallic."
7. The boring, less-sugar, non-weird and whacky mascot cereals are the best. You know, stuff like Cheerios, Chex, Corn Flakes, and Shredded Wheat.
8. Ham and pineapple are okay on pizza . . . only if there are also green chilies.
9. Coffee is too bitter to enjoy, even with sugar and flavorings added.
10. Cheese on burgers makes them taste less fresh.
11. The more rare the fish, the better. Quote, "Give it to me raw."
12. Kalamata olives are a lot better than black olives.

Post Malone was once 65 pounds heavier than he is now? That's an impressive amount of weight to lose. But how did he do it?
And the answer might be a lot simpler than you think. It's hot sauce. Posty was on the "Howard Stern Show" last year talking about it.
The most impressive part is that he didn't use Ozempic or any other weight-loss drugs. He just stopped eating a lot of fried foods . . . he switched to grilled chicken . . . and then started putting hot sauce on everything.
He had no idea that hot sauce has ZERO calories. So, once he found that out, it was off to the races. And he has said that, since then, he's never felt healthier.

Shaboozey is starring in a Super Bowl ad for Nerds Gummy Clusters.
There is an online teaser
There's not too much to it. In the clip, Shaboozey snacks on a bag of Nerds Gummy Clusters while playing his guitar. But as he takes a bite of the candy, an animated Nerds candy comes to share the stage with him.

Chappell Roan says she's "very emo" going into Sunday's Grammys and posted a heartfelt note to her fans.
Quote, "My heart feels warm and fuzzy with all the support I have been given this past year. I hope you can understand that this has been incredible and scary and spiritual and confusing.
"I've been crying tears of joy and grief and feeling loved and lonely and free. Ultimately, I am grateful for every one of you who gave my music a little spin and showed your ass up to shows and festivals."
Chappell added about Sunday's performance, quote, "Just know when I'm up on stage, all I'm really feeling in my heart is love to the queer community especially those in places where it is unsafe to be yourself."
