Last-Minute Halloween Costumes for the Procrastinator in All of Us

We previously featured some creative and clever homemade Halloween costumes made by overachievers. Today, we’re featuring the opposite: costumes that someone clearly threw together at the very last minute. The kind of costume you get when you forget it’s Halloween and grab whatever’s available.

A few of these costumes have the sort of simple charm that makes people regret spending $400 on their ultra-realistic Voldemort costume. But most are laughably awful, not even worthy of an honorable mention in a costume contest.

Hey, I don’t judge. This will absolutely be me in a couple weeks.

1. Candy “Rappers”

Get it?! Because “rappers” rhymes with “wrappers”! Not only does this costume involve wordplay, it gives you an excuse to scarf down 50 pieces of candy in one sitting.

2. 50 Shades of Grey

Minimal effort, minimal hassle. Unless you count the fight with the Home Depot guy for taking too many paint samples.

3. Salt and Pepper

This is the sort of costume that will have everyone at the party coming up to you and asking what the hell it is. Are you guys…Salmonella and Puberty?

4. Pigs in a Blanket

Not bad!

5. Identity Thief

Is she an identity thief, or is she a woman with 14 different personalities? Either way: fun!

6. Weatherman in a hurricane.

Partly cloudy with a chance of SUCCESS!

7. God’s gift to men/women.

Hopefully men/women kept the receipt.

8. American tourists.

Does Paris have a TGI Friday’s? These two know!

9. Audrey Hepburn

A great way to reuse that dress from your great aunt’s funeral.

10. Rosie the Riveter

Easy! All you need is a denim shirt, a bandana, and a can-do attitude.

11. Red Box movie rentals

This costume’s cheap, easy, and requires no planning whatsoever–just like renting from Red Box!

12. When life gives you lemons…hold up the lemons and shrug?

Photo Credit: Bloomjoy Collective

Is she supposed to be the entire saying, or is she supposed to be life itself, about to give someone lemons? I’m confused. D minus.

13. Ariel from The Little Mermaid, moments after arriving on land.

Nice and simple. Just make sure you wash your bedsheet first.

14. A ceiling “fan”

15. Error 404: Costume Not Found

Fellow procrastinators, we’ve found our patron saint.

15 Homemade Halloween Costumes That Are Way Better Than Store-Bought Ones

Halloween is right around the corner, and if you’re like me, you haven’t even begun to think about your costume yet. And let’s be honest: we probably won’t start thinking about our costume until noon of the 31st at the very earliest. At that point, we’ll be forced to either pay through the nose for a store-bought costume, or we’ll throw something together using whatever’s available. Which is how I came up with my worst ever Halloween costume, “Guy in a Polo shirt.”

This year, let’s break the cycle! There’s still time to put together a costume that will be remembered for years. And below, you can get some inspiration from people who went all out on All Hallow’s Eve. (via Bored Panda).

I mean, all of us will definitely still procrastinate on our costumes again this year, but it’s nice to feel ambitious for a few minutes, isn’t it?

Panera Fired an Employee for Exposing How Their Mac and Cheese Is Made

Do you like Panera’s mac and cheese? I sure am. It’s the highlight of my meal when I go.

But recently you may have seen a viral TikTok showing just how it’s cooked – or, rather, reheated. Many viewers have expressed their dismay, but the shocks don’t end there: the employee was fired for her video!

Ok, let’s put aside the employee being fired for a second (just a second, I promise). Reheating (and cooking) food in food-safe plastic bags is actually a pretty standard method. If you aren’t familiar, sous-vide (the fancy name for cooking food sealed in plastic in a water bath) is a five-star chef way of cooking. In fact, there is a whole system behind it.

“Sous-vide is a cooking technique that utilizes precise temperature control to deliver consistent, restaurant-quality results. High-end restaurants have been using sous vide cooking for years to cook food to the exact level of doneness desired, every time.”

You can buy a fancy sous-vide setup for your home, or you can give it a low tech go by following these three simple steps – once you gather the right pot and thermometer you are ready.

1. Attach your precision cooker to a pot of water and set the time and temperature according to your desired level of doneness.

2. Put your food in a sealable bag and clip it to the side of the pot.

3. Finish by searing, grilling, or broiling the food to add a crispy, golden exterior layer.

This technique distributes heat at an even temperature around the food, giving it exact “done-ness.” Forget the scorching, or overcooked noodles – it’s consistent results, every time.

The only thing that could be wrong about Panera’s technique? How about a flash broil on the top to make the cheese bubbly? Cause, come on.

Ok, back to the employee being fired.

While Panera won’t comment on “personnel matters,” the employee posted this followup video:

And frankly, I think it was a missed opportunity – instead of firing their employee, they should have played it up to the media like, “Hey, we serve sous-vide mac and cheese just like Michelin chefs!”

Because corporate America doesn’t need to keep doing shady stuff to cover up shady stuff.

Just sayin’.

10 Examples of How Hilariously Dangerous Normal Things Were in the 1960s and ’70s

It was a different time…

The 1960s and 70s marked a time where people were more freewheeling with their personal safety, style and taste. Things were rapidly changing, and social norms were having some trouble catching up. There was a sense of not knowing any better mixed with a dash of I just don’t care because gas is really expensive and no one can find a job.

So, scroll through these old school hazards and feel good about stayin’ alive.

1. Girls ironed their hair straight…with an actual hot as hell iron.

Then, some genius invented the “hair straightener” and took all the fun out of burning your hair off.

2. Infant car seats were not at their apex of technology.

They were more of a suggestion than anything that would keep you snuggly strapped in and facing the way that would cause the least amount of damage to your cranium in a collision.

3. Jell-O Salad.

If you could eat it on a plate, why not encase it in Jell-O?

4. Smoking on planes was allowed.

5. Your mom tried to make a SPAM casserole.

6. Drunk driving was barely frowned on.

7. Margarine was a healthy alternative to real butter.

Sure, eat all you want.

8. Who didn’t love asbestos?

Seriously, what’s not to love?

10. OJ Simpson was an admired figure in sports and fashion.

Also, he is learning Twitter now, so follow him. He should be watched.

Aren’t you glad you came out of that decade as normal as you did? Remember any other craziness? Post it in the comments so we can cringe along with you.

15 People Share What They’d Say If They Were Able to Talk to Themselves 10 Years Ago

This question is probably going to elicit some very interesting and very painful answers.

AskReddit users answered this question:

“If you could call yourself 10 years ago and speak for 1minute, what would you say?”

What would you tell yourself 10 years ago? Share your thoughts in the comments!

1. Might not be there in 10 years.

“Enjoy that hair while you still can.”

2. That’s gotta hurt.

“For the love of god get your drivers license, if you don’t you’re going to get hit by a car.”

3. Don’t be scared…

“Oh god..I would say…”Dont be scared, get an education and find a good job.” Now I’m stuck in a miserable retail job.”

4. Just do it!

“Finish school, you asshole.”

5. Stay away from Susan

“Do not date Susan, she will ruin your life.”

6. Two major points.

“Invest in Apple and you aren’t marrying that girl you’re seeing right now.”

7. A rambler and a gambler

“Put all of your money in bitcoin. Oh yeah Patriots win Super Bowl 49, 51, and 53. Put your life savings on each one.”

8. Be in charge of your own life.

“Don’t live your life according to what your mom wants you to do. Do what you want to do.”

9. Take some deep breaths.

“Bro, you need to chill out, it gets worse.”

10. “That’s no way to go through life.”

“Relax and enjoy. You’re worthy of the experience.

About 10 years ago, I got my job at Google and the worst part of the experience were my insecurities. I was a 49-year old (ancient by Google standards), self-taught programmer. I got my non-programming degree from a back-woods school but, to make up for it, I got really, REALLY crappy grades. I had no big-data experience and, at the time, I hadn’t programmed in any of Google’s 4 development languages (C++, Python, Java, and JavaScript). Add all this to my normal insecurities and I really felt like I was outclassed by everyone else at the company. I spent every day expecting to be fired for gross incompetence.

That’s no way to go through life. The experience would have been _so_ much better if I’d just ignored my insecurities. I still would have been dumbest fucking programmer at Google but I would have, at least, been much, much happier.”

11. This is sad.

“Tell your dad he has to go to the doctor to check his heart – it will save his life.”

12. Let people know how you feel.

“Tell mom and grandma you love them! They won’t be here in 10 years.”

13. Don’t even start.

“For the love of god, don’t start drinking. It’ll destroy you.”

14. A lot to take in here.

“Don’t move to the coast – it ends horribly and you’ll get stabbed.

Put down the drugs, you’ll regret it in 5 years.

Go to the dentist, that shit is important.

Go see your Nanny. She dies in 2 years, and you’ll miss her more than you realise.

Don’t drink at your Mums wedding. She still loves you, but hot damn you hurt her.

Be nice to your sister. She’s going through a lot too. She won’t tell you, but she needs you.

Most importantly – go back to school, Eliza. Get your education. You’ll need it when you’re a 21 year old single mum struggling to support yourself and a toddler.”

15. Do something for yourself.

“Your friends will leave you. Your girlfriend will leave you. Your job doesn’t matter. Don’t waste your time and energy on people that will forget about you in 10 years. Do something for yourself. Do it because you want to do it, not because you hope other people will like you for it. Live like you mean it. Forget the haters.”
