See the 1,775-Pound World Championship Pumpkin
There are tons of things we love about America. Our grand ole’ country cranks out hysterical, nightmare-inducing shows about mini pageant queens and we throw Big Bird into the political scene, for example. But our recent discovery tops them all-- ladies and gentlemen, we live in the presence of the most recent world champion pumpkin grower.
Students Suspended after Eating Caffeinated Mints
It’s important for school officials to be aware of suspicious behavior among students, but Pekin High School in Illinois is cracking down on even the slightest of offenses.
Halloween Candies That Need to Come Back
It’s that time of year again when we apologize to our pancreas and then eat until we're sick -- Halloween candy season! Everywhere we turn, we’re bombarded with chocolate and gummies and sour things and those peanut butter taffies in the wax paper wrapping that no one ever eats. Somehow those things have survived the ages but our favorites have gone by the wayside. It’s bittersweet heaven on earth
Poland Hosts Hilarious Wiener Dog Parade
Today marks the day Poland made our list of awesome countries. Why? They openly celebrate their love of weiner dogs! No, seriously. These folks have no shame, and they showed their affection by dressing up and parading around their Dachshunds like the grumpy bundles of cuteness they are.
Texans Make World’s Largest Frito Pie
Fritos fits the bill of a perfect snack. Now, before you get all snack sassy, just hear us out. They’re crunchy, salty, miniature, AND they’re the ultimate dip-scooper. Could it get any better? No way. That’s why when we heard the folks over at the Texas State Fair wanted to honor the delicious goodness, we couldn’t contain our Frito-loving excitement!
Amazing Street Performers Are a Two Man Jukebox
If you’ve ever taken the time to really listen to street performers, you’ll notice that most are extremely talented, and unfortunately, they often go unnoticed. But these guys have brought street performance to an entirely new level of awesome, and they’re definitely gaining attention.
Pizza Cone Crust Pizza — Awesomely Gross or Grossly Awesome?
Remember when we introduced you to the Pizza Hut Crown Crust Pizza? We’d like you to meet Pizza Hut Middle East’s newest massive calorie bomb, the Cone Crust Pizza. Sounds innocent enough, right? WRONG. Wrong wrong wrong. Heaven help us all.
Global Bacon Shortage is a Horrible Reality
We really don’t like to be the bearers of bad news. It makes us feel all sad and weird, like ‘Gangnam Style’ in an elevator. But this time, we feel that it’s necessary to relay said bad news, if only for your health: there is going to be a global shortage of bacon next year.
Babies Eating Lemons Is So Wrong It’s Right
Babies and lemons go together like toddlers and warheads or skunks and kittens. Basically, the combination musters up incomparable adorableness, and you know we’ll never pass up anything even remotely adorable. So when we discovered there is a whole slew of mini lemon-eaters bearing extreme sour faces on YouTube, we just had to share them!
Guy Gets Revenge on Loud Church Music by Blasting Adult Film
We all have annoying neighbors -- the guy who mows his lawn in shorty shorts at 7am on Saturday morning or that older lady who floods our mailbox with "help me find a home" cat flyers that makes us hate cats as much as junk mail. What about the family who blasts gospel music so loud that nearby residents can even hear it...
Amusement Park Visitors Get Stranded for Hours
What’s not to love about a California amusement park called Knott’s Berry Farms? With such a magical-sounding name, we can’t imagine things could ever go awry. But then again, we’re sucked in by almost anything even remotely charming.
Unfortunately, Knott’s Berry Farms has let us down.
This Is What Happens When Grandparents Use Webcams
It's pretty much a given that Grandma and Grandpa and technology don't mix. So when they use a webcam for the first time, we can expect serious confusion, surprise, and hilarity to ensue. Luckily for us, that’s exactly what we have here! Check out the funniest reactions of grandparents using webcams.
