Maybe it's not really news to everyone but some of the benefits of dark chocolate aren't as well known as its ability as an antioxidant. For instance the higher the amount of cacao in the dark chocolate makes it nearly a perfect food. It truly has it all,protein,vitamins and its chock full of minerals. This is not true of any of the processed type of milk chocolates which have a higher level of fat and only traces of the good stuff in dark chocolate. If you happen to be addicted to processed chocolate not to worry you can slowly learn to love the dark chocolate by gradually increasing the amount of cacao in your chocolate choices. Do yourself a flavor and eat more dark chocolate!

About Time

In less you are willing to go with using baking soda to brush your teeth there has been little choice up until now on what you could use,I'm not discounting the lesser known healthier brands as I'm not entirely sure of their ingredients but Colgate has introduced a vegan toothpaste that,drum roll please...also comes in a recyclable container. Though the container is still made of plastic they have removed the aluminum used in the previous tube types. I'm still waiting for manufacturers  to jump on the hemp bandwagon with their packaging and cut out the plastic portion of the show entirely but I'm afraid that might be a long wait. This product is called Smile for Good and is still more expensive than non vegan/non recyclable brands and I'm not positive if it is available worldwide at this time,but can probably be purchased through Amazon.

Nearly a Score Ago

When I first commented on the No Pants Subway Ride several years ago I kind of thought it would fade away with time,but it has grown and is flourishing in over 20 cities around the world. The event was organized in 2002 by Improv Everywhere,the first took place in New York City and due to unseasonably warm weather this year attracted around 200 participants,or would that be particinopants? If you want to take part in next years event and there is a subway near you just leave off your pants on January 12th. I'm a little surprised no one is ever arrested for indecent exposure but maybe the law is informed beforehand? Next year will be the event's 20th (score) year so it seems like a good year to test drive No Pants Subway Ride.

Poor Guy

Today's post is a perfect example of damned if you do,damned if you don't but maybe not the don't part so much. This nice man didn't keep track of his wife's periods but he knew about the time of month they happened so before he went shopping he checked her box of tampons and saw there was only one left.  He picked up a box while he was at the store but when he got home instead of his wife being pleased she said it was weird and creepy. I don't know where he posted his question to see if he was wrong to have picked up the tampons but the responses were unanimous in support of the man,in fact some people went on to say he should get a medal and or a parade. I have to say I agree completely. 

We All Have Them

Though they are colloquially referred to as shower thoughts they can happen anytime when a person is on autopilot. The thoughts can seem like a stroke of genius then on closer observation become funny or even absurd. Without further ado I present the thoughts for today.
You don't hear much about the original Zealand.
If you find diamonds or oil in your backyard then it's the governments,but if you find drugs then it's yours.
If two mind readers meet it would create a horrible feedback noise in their mind.
The kids of the future probably won't make 'Brrmmm Brrmmm' noises when they play with toy cars.  (For that matter will they be playing with toy cars?)

Racy Car PR

The Subaru promotional department tried to pass off the suggestive acronym for a new model at the 2020 Singapore Motorshow as coming from an independent distributor rather than the car maker,however the model was inside the Subaru booth sharing space with other Subaru models. The Forester Ultimate Customized Kit Special was quickly nicknamed the Subaru Fucks edition. It seems like it may have been wiser to plead a translation problem,but this way it is sure to receive its share of attention.

Die Hard Mating Ritual

I was a little disturbed to find out that the female praying mantis doesn't always eat the male after mating,now the only thing that makes them exceptional is they can turn their heads,but hey so can dragonflies. Only about 13% to 28% of the males give their lives after mating and the reason is understandable but another letdown. Turns out it is as simple as the female being hungry though the females who resort to cannibalism lay more eggs so I guess you could think of it as the male paying the ultimate sacrifice for his offspring. I'm still disappointed!
