Insomnia Cookies is offering a limited edition new 12-pack of cookies on their website called the "It's Not Me, It's You" pack.
You can choose the 12 cookies you want to give your soon-to-be ex, and they'll include a "handwritten" break-up note on the inside of the box.
There are four options: "It's not me, it's you" . . . "You're sweet, but not my flavor" . . . "I have the hots for your roommate", and "We're done. Have a nice life."

Fun crazy prop bets for the Superbowl.
There's apparently a 0.1 percent chance that ALIENS will invade Las Vegas, leading to the game ending in a tie. So you can make big money on that one.
The Chiefs win, Taylor accompanies the team to the White House, where she endorses President Biden. . . and he sniffs her hair. Bovada says there's a 2 percent chance of that.
By the way, I have lost all hope for humanity with all the Taylor Swift conspiracy theories.

Chuck E. Cheese is releasing his own cookbook. It's called the "Chuck E. Cheese and Friends Party Cookbook", out March 19th. You can pre-order it on Amazon for $23.
The mouse himself is credited as the author. His full name is of course "Charles Entertainment Cheese". But he opted for the more recognizable "Chuck E." as his pen name.
It's full of recipes for parties and large groups. So, mainly children's birthday parties.
It's not clear how many of their actual menu items are in it. But recipes include things like "Kansas City Barbecue Chicken Pizza" . . . Halloween-themed pigs-in-a-blanket called "Mummy Dogs" . . . and a "Rainbow Marble Unicorn Cake".

A 19th Century cabinet was brought to the auction house by a family who said it had belonged to a deceased uncle. A photographer was taking photos of it for the sale, and that's when they opened it up and saw the lemon.
It was dried out, round, and very well-preserved . . . but it's brown and leathery-looking. And, even crazier, it was inscribed with this message, "Given By Mr. P Lu Franchini, Nov. 4, 1739 to Miss E Baxter."
The auction house figured "what the heck," so they decided to auction off the lemon as well, with a starting price of $50. The lemon shocked everyone by going for $1,780 . . . while the old, antique cabinet only went for about $40.
