NIghtfood Ice Cream Lets You Eat After Dinner Before Bed With No Consequences

If you like ice cream but hate how it keeps you from getting a good night’s sleep, then your life is about to be rocked.

A new ice cream that’s actually sleep-friendly is here. It’s called Nightfood, and it’s formulated to make it easier to fall asleep after having a scoop.

Sleep and nutrition experts Dr. Michael Breus, Dr. Lauren Broch and Dr. Michael Grandner created the treat in 2018 and introduced it to the sleep deprived world in 2019. It’s so good, it won consumer research firm Kantar’s 2019 Product of the Year award. Eight flavors are available and include Full Moon Vanilla, Midnight Chocolate, After Dinner Mint Chip, Cold Brew Decaf, Cookies n’ Dreams, Milk and Cookie Dough, Cherry Eclipse, and Bed and Breakfast.

But don’t mistake this frozen goodness for a sleep-aid. Founder Sean Folkson told Fast Company in December Nightfood isn’t “about, like, dropping an Ambien or some sleep aid into the product.” He was going for “making ice cream in a way that’s less disruptive” for sleep.

Between all the sugar in ice cream and the caffeine in some flavors, having a bowl of ice cream before going to bed is not ideal. If you one of many Americans that consistently have problems falling asleep, you should look for snacks that have natural sleep-inducing properties. A small amount of almonds, walnuts and other foods high in protein are good choices.

But, those snacks aren’t ice cream.

According to the Nightfood website, their ice cream is “less likely to cause sleep disruption via lactose digestion issues, acid reflux, [and] blood sugar spikes” because certain ingredients like sugar and caffeine have been removed or minimized. They also add “certain minerals and amino acids that research suggests can support sleep quality.”

The “Nightfood mineral blend” contains magnesium citrate, calcium citrate, and zinc citrate which are known to promote sleep.

Sounds great, right? You can order all the flavors of Nightfood at their website. It’s best to buy in bulk to make the flat shipping rate work. Then you can fill your freezer with sleep friendly ice cream.

Sweet dreams

14 Fun Things You Might Not Know About Disneyland and Disney World

Disney parks have a way of surprising you, even if you’ve been there many times. Turn a corner and there’s something new–or at least you’ve never noticed it before. All the tiny details are taken care and they add up to one fantastic experience for everyone from first-timers to old fans.

But, we’re willing to bet even you old fans didn’t know about these extra-special details.

Scroll through these 14 new-to-everyone facts. Maybe it’s time you went back.

1. The Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was designed to blend in visually with Epcot.

Since the Tower of Terror would be visible in the background of Epcot’s Morocco pavilion, it was designed with similar colors and a style that would blend.

2. The smells at Disney are specially engineered.

From the sweet aromas on Main Street to the watery fragrance on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, the iconic smells of Disney are planned to enhance your experience.

3. Adventureland is home to a leprechaun.

At the bottom of a tree close to the entry to Indiana Jones Adventure is the doorway to the home of Patrick Begorra. The main character in the 1955 children’s book Little Man of Disneyland, 

Begorra gives permission to Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and Pluto to uproot his home to build the park, provided he gets to live inside.

4. In the line for Dinosaur at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, there is an inside joke directed to the attraction’s original sponsor.

McDonald’s at one time was the sponsor for Dinosaur.

Right before you get on the ride, there are pipes overhead colored in red, yellow and white. On the pipes are the chemical formulas for ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise.

It’s a secret nod to the the Golden Arches.

5. There’s a fun way to get an extra FastPass at the Magic Kingdom.

Play along in “A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas” by picking up a pirate map and complete a couple of missions.

Once you do, you may get a FastPass for everyone in your party for the Pirates of the Caribbean.

6. You can eat the landscaping in Tomorrowland.

Although, don’t try it.

But yes, all the plants are edible and the area “doubles as a potential farm.”

7. Even Disney’s trash cans are well thought out.

Walt Disney was concerned about the garbage situation in his parks.

He didn’t want the sight or smell of trash to get in the way of the visitor experience. He had his garbage cans enclosed with flaps.

He also watched to see how far people were willing to carry garbage in their hands and decided it was 30 feet. At Disney, you will never be outside of 30 feet of a garbage can.

8. Liberty Square’s house numbers contain interesting architectural information about the home.

Liberty Square’s homes are in chronological order from the colonials in the east to the frontier structures of the west.

Add an “18” before the house number and you will get the year of the home’s architectural style.

9. Frontierland also gives you a lesson in architecture.

As you move from Liberty Square into Frontierland, you’re getting a lesson on how our country moved westward.

The numbers on the buildings in Frontierland, like in Liberty Square, show the year of that building’s architectural design.

10. There’s a Millennium Falcon hidden in the Millennium Falcon at Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy Edge.

Look for it on the side of the ship that’s closest to the entrance to the Smugglers Run attraction.

11. There’s a super-exclusive $15,000 food and wine package available above Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland.

You and 11 of your closest baller friends can book a secret suite for a feast and private balcony viewing of Fantasmic.

12. Once, there was a cigar and tobacco shop on Disneyland’s Main Street.

It sold tobacco from around the world, as well as other smoking accessories.

The store closed in 1990 and now there’s no smoking allowed in any of the parks. But the traditional “cigar store Indian,” which at one time served as an advertisement for tobacconists, still stands.

13. The shutters on the buildings on Liberty Square are crooked for a reason.

This is an accurate detail. During the Revolutionary War, all metal went to the cause.

Shutters had to be hung on houses with leather straps that would stretch after a time and made the shutters sag.

14. Lady and her Tramp left their paws prints at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

This sweet symbol of their love–their paws inside a heart with an arrow through it–is carved in the pavement outside of the restaurant.

Disney always goes 100 percent, especially in their parks. An excellent guest experience is their ultimate goal.

So, next time you visit, see if you can find these little hidden gems—and the many others at your almost every step.

15 People Talk About the Extinct Species They Would Love to See Return

Many plant and animal species have disappeared from existence since we began recording history – some more famously than others (looking at you, dinosaurs). We’re now in the middle of a mass extinction event, which means more and more species are going to fade into the ether for good.

It seems like a good time, then, to remember our favorites, and muse on what life could be like if they made an impossible comeback.

15. It’s basically a dragon so it’s a yes for me.

Yi dinosaur.

It’s like a long-tailed bird with bat wings.

Basically a mini wyvern covered in feathers.

14. We could maybe all get along now (probably not).

Neanderthals, and all other homin species that lived at the same time as us!

13. Technically I think we have all the pigeons we need.

Passenger pigeon.

They used to block out the sun. Imagine such a sight!

12. The lost foods are always welcome.

Silphium

And, a about a 100 other herbs, wheats, and foods we’ve lost.

11. The world can always use more penguins.

Giant penguins, Palaeeudyptinae.

The world could use some human sized penguins to terrorize!

10. It depends on who you ask, I suppose.

The moa.

How cool would that be?

9. Tiger death match would be in order.

Saber Tooth Tiger. ROAR!!!!

8. The rhino for sure.

Woolly Rhino and Woolly Mammoth.

Anything wooly, basically.

7. Yeah, no, imma pass on this one.

Elephant birds.

Just think of emus, but three times the size!

Fuck yeah!

6. He’s making a solid case.

Tasmanian Tiger.

Their extinction was unnecessary, they’re freaking cool, and bringing them back won’t damage the ecosystem and in fact could possibly improve it.

5. That would be some sight to see.

Irish elk.

It is a seven foot deer with an antler span up to 12 feet!

Insanity!

4. A parakeet indigenous to the States. I’ll take one!

Carolina parakeet. Because they’re cute.

3. Humans just love giant things idk.

All the Pleistocene megafauna!

So mammoths, ground sloths, the California tapir, glyptodonts, the European lion, the Ice Age spotted hyena, short-faced bears, diprotodons, Merck’s rhinoceros, sloth lemurs, elephant birds, moas, dire wolves, the straight-tusked elephant, sabre-toothed cats, gomphotheres, Sivatherium, steppe bison, terrestrial crocodiles, Megalania, short-faced kangaroos, the marsupial lion, thylacine, various mainland giant tortoises, quagga, Megaloceros, and the list goes on

2. Is there room for all of them in Loch Ness?

Plesiosaurs… because Loch Ness needs to be REAL!

1. I’m not sure getting one to agree to this would be easy. Or likely.

Fucking pterodactyls. Those things seem awesome.

I’d love to ride one.

What would you choose, and why? Share it with us below!

Just not the dinosaurs, y’all. We’ve seen movies about this, and it just never ends well.

5 Strange Lawsuits Involving McDonald’s

You might believe that there are plenty of reasons to sue the biggest fast food chain in the world – after all, they’ve got the bucks, right? – but you might not realize how far some people have reached (or not) when taking the corporation to court.

Below are 5 lawsuits that are all pretty bizarre – and that all involve McDonald’s.

5. McDonald’s vs. Ronald McDonald

After only being in business for 14 years, the independently-owned McDonald’s Family Restaurant was issued a legal notice from the McDonald’s corporation telling them to avoid using arches or offering drive-in service.

For years, owner Ronald McDonald (yes, really) ignored the notices, because he was using his family’s name on the building, but in 1992 when McDonald’s (the corp) opened a franchise in Fairbury, Illinois, things nearly went to court.

McDonald settled, agreeing to take the possessive S off the sign.

4. I’m not sure that’s McDonald’s fault.

In 2012, former McDonald’s employee Shelley Lynn sued McDonald’s for pushing her into a side job in a Nevada brothel.

She was hired in an Arroyo Grande, California location where she alleged the manager pushed her into a life of sex work.

She complained that there was no formal grievance process, and that the manager should never have been sold a franchise, but she lost in court.

3. A Quarter Pounder Without Cheese, Please

Some McDonald’s apparently offer the option of a Quarter Pounder without cheese for $.30 cheaper, and when customers Cynthia Kissner and Leonard Werner didn’t get their discount, they filed a $5 million class action suit.

Since not all locations offer the cheaper options, the judge ruled against them and their claim for damages.

2. That’s quite a pickle.

In 1999, Veronica Martin and her husband ordered hamburgers from a franchise in Knoxville, Tennessee and the pickle on hers shot out and scalded her chin.

She filed a lawsuit due to her second-degree burns, asking for $110,000. The parties settled for an undisclosed amount.

1. They’re not responsible for their Coke.

Trevor Walker ordered a Diet Coke from a Riverton, Utah store back in 2016 and got way more than he asked for – the drink was contaminated with Suboxone, a heroin substitute. He had to be taken to an emergency room after he lost feeling in his arms and legs, and subsequently sued McDonald’s.

McDonald’s argued in court documents that they shouldn’t be sued in addition to the store’s manager and employee, who are suspected of spiking the drink, as their corporate office is removed from day-to-day locations.

The case is ongoing, though the district court judge seemed to be on Walker’s side.

I’ve never sued anyone myself, and I know that we’re a litigious society, but man – bizarre is the best way to describe these for sure.

Have you ever sued a corporation? Was it McDonald’s?

We want to hear the story!

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Shared His Interesting Thoughts About Christianity

Aaron Rodgers is a pretty brave man, because a lot of us are well aware of what happens to outspoken NFL players, especially when they go against the grain.

Just look at Colin Kaepernick. He took a stand, spoke his mind, and now he’s out of a job in the NFL. Rodgers appeared on his girlfriend Danica Patrick’s podcast a few months ago and opened up about his skepticism of and changing relationship with Christianity.

One remark that got the attention of people was when Rodgers said,

“I don’t know how you can believe in a God who wants to condemn most of the planet to a fiery hell.

What type of loving, sensitive, omnipresent, omnipotent being wants to condemn his beautiful creation to a fiery hell at the end of all this?”

A good question, Mr. Rodgers.

This isn’t the first time that Rodgers has been open about this subject.

In a 2018 interview with ESPN the Magazine, he said,

“I remember asking a question as a young person about somebody in a remote rainforest because the words that I got were: ‘If you don’t confess your sins, then you’re going to hell.’ and I said, ‘What about the people who don’t have a Bible readily accessible?

I think in people’s lives who grew up in some sort of organized religion, there really comes a time when you start to question things more.”

You don’t often hear this kind of talk from high-profile athletes. I, for one, was glad to hear Aaron Rodgers go on the record questioning his beliefs and Christianity in general.

Here’s a clip of Rodgers from the interview with Danica Patrick.

What do you think? And has your faith evolved over the course of your life?

Let us know in the comments, please. But be respectful. We’re all in this together. 🙂

The Backstreet Boys Consider Touring with *NSYNC With or Without Timberlake

Oh boy!

When *NSYNC performed with Ariana Grande at Coachella in 2019, no one missed JT. In fact, everyone wondered why they didn’t make our day and tour without him already. The Backstreet Boys even agreed, saying they would love to tour with their 1990 musical counterparts.

Recently, during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s show Watch What Happens Live, the host asked the group (still A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell) their comments on JT’s seeming disinterest in the future of *NSYNC.

Carter spoke up with a great idea.

“Maybe in the future, after we’re done with our world tour, maybe we could do a tour with Backstreet and the four of them, maybe like a package tour.”

Several years ago, the Backstreet Boys enjoyed success touring with New Kids on the Block.

A package tour with *NSYNC would be mind-blowing for fans, especially after the head-to-head race up the charts between both groups in the 1990s. Band members, though, have since claimed in interviews that the two bands never had much of a rivalry.

On Jimmy Fallon’s show, Carter recalled the only conflict was when the Backstreet Boys were offered the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

They opted to sing the National Anthem instead. *NSYNC ended up doing the halftime show with Britney Spears and Aerosmith. Carter admitted they regretted their decision.

But that’s water under the bridge. Guys, let’s make this tour happen!
