Everyone mocked pineapple on pizza, but now plenty of people like it. What are the odds THIS catches on?
A pizza place in Australia just divided the internet with its newest offering . . . ORANGES on pizza.
The place is called Bubba Pizza. They have around 15 locations in Melbourne.
Their "Ham and Orange" pizza is basically a Hawaiian. They just subbed out pineapple, and subbed in orange slices. Yes, they're peeled.
Most people online think it sounds disgusting.

Eggs are so expensive, you want to make sure they are cooked correctly. Science has figured out a new way to cook them.
Researchers in Italy released the study last month. It's called "periodic cooking," and it's not complicated. But it does take a while . . . 32 minutes.
The two parts of an egg don't cook the same. Hard-boiling makes the egg white rubbery, which some people don't like. But soft-boiling doesn't fully cook the yolk. So they designed it to cook both parts perfectly.
It takes some dedication and TWO pots of water . . . one that's 212 degrees, and one that's 86 degrees.
You cook them for two minutes in the hot water . . . move them to the warm water for two minutes . . . then repeat the process SEVEN MORE TIMES.
After 32 minutes, you end up with perfectly cooked eggs. But is it worth it?

Five years ago yesterday, you were VERY stressed, and so was everyone else.
Happy fifth birthday to COVID-19. The World Health Organization declared it a global pandemic on March 11th, 2020.
Within days, the world unraveled. If you weren't holed up in a bunker, you were beating someone up for toilet paper.
Obviously COVID is still around today, but most experts consider it to be "endemic" now. Meaning, it circulates but it's much more predictable.

In a survey, 57% of Americans admit that they've lied to their dentist about their dental hygiene. 60% of those people say they do it to "impress" their dentist . . . 33% don't want their dentist to think less of them . . . and 19% describe them as unintentional "panic lies" that accidentally slip out.
64% of people who lie to their dentist say they feel guilty about their dishonesty.
But don't worry TOO much about it. Dentists know. It's what they do. 48% of people say they know their dentist can see right through their lies about flossing and brushing . . . but for whatever reason, they still do it.
