STORY 1:  Ten Snacks from the ’90s You Can Still Buy on Amazon

f you were a kid in the ’90s, you were munching on some pretty amazing snacks.  And not all of them have gone extinct.  Here are ten nostalgic snacks from the ’90s that you can still buy on Amazon . . .

1. Dunkaroos. They disappeared in 2012, but now they’re back.
2. Ring Pops. You can get 20 of them for $7.  (One for each finger AND each toe.)
3. AirHeads. Earlier this month, the company that makes them tried to remind people they still exist by offering up a chicken sandwich with a bun MADE of AirHeads for National Fried Chicken Day.
4. Little Hug Fruit Barrels. Those little grenade-shaped juices that were 100% sugar.
5. Big League Chew. The shredded bubbled gum that looks like chewing tobacco.
6. Pop Rocks. Your friends said eating them with soda would make your stomach explode, but it wasn’t true.
7. Warheads. The candies that were so sour they’d peel a layer of your tongue off.
8. Pixy Stix. The powdered candy that came in a straw.
9. Gushers. Technically, they’re “Fruit Gushers,” but most people just said Gushers.
10. Fun Dip. With sticks made of sugar that you dip into more sugar.

STORY 2:  Parents Love This Hack That Lets You Make 12 Sandwiches at Once

Parents don’t have a lot of spare time, which is why simple hacks like this go viral:  A mom on TikTok showed people how to make 12 sandwiches at once for beach days, or long car rides.  Instead of a loaf of bread, you use an entire pack of King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls.

Each pack has 12 rolls all stuck together.  So you take them out of the bag, but don’t separate them.  Then you use a big bread knife to cut the whole thing in half from the side, so you basically have two huge slices of bread.  And after that, you just make one GIANT sandwich.

Put lunchmeat and cheese on the bottom part, or whatever you want in there.  Then put the top on and cut the buns apart, so you end up with 12 mini sandwiches you can toss in a cooler.  She says the best part is you can shove them right back in the same packaging the rolls came in, so you don’t have to wrap them.

STORY 3:  A Friend of “Crackhead Chris” Was Caught Skinny Dipping in a Guy’s Pool

A 69-year-old guy in Florida came home from a doctor’s appointment on Monday, and found a random woman SKINNY DIPPING in his pool in the middle of the afternoon.

It happened in Port Charlotte, just outside Fort Myers.  (About 100 miles south of Tampa.)  And it was around 90 degrees out.  So it was hot.

42-year-old Heather Kennedy was completely naked, hanging out in his pool cooling off.  So he called 911.  But when the cops showed up, she still refused to leave.

There’s a photo of them offering her some clothes to cover up with.  But she wouldn’t get out of the water, and told them to just leave her alone so she could keep swimming.

They eventually did get her out of the pool, and she’s facing charges for trespassing and resisting arrest.  It turns out she lives about two miles from where it happened.

It’s not clear if drugs or alcohol factored in, but she does have a history.  She recently got pulled over, and cops found a bunch of drug paraphernalia and pills.

But she tried to claim the pills weren’t hers . . . and that they really belonged to a friend named “Crackhead Chris.”  (???)

She’s due in court early next month to deal with the skinny-dipping charges.

Here’s a photo of her in the pool, and a mugshot.

DID YOU KNOW?

1. The hottest place on Earth lost the title it had held for 90 years, when it was found that the man making the original measurements likely misread the thermometer. That was in the Mediterranean city of El Azizia in northern Libya.  Now, the title belongs to Death Valley, California.
2. The Japanese term “ryoutoutsukai” means a person who uses two swords in battle . . . and it also means “bisexual.”
3. Cows hate the sound of a cowbell . . . it hurts their sensitive ears.
4. Instant replay started at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California. Judges asked CBS if they could review the tape of the event to see if a skier had missed a gate on the slalom . . . and that gave CBS the idea to show replays.
5. The chocolate river in the movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” was made out of actual chocolate. It spoiled during filming and smelled awful by the time the movie wrapped.
