Take a Look at the Cheapest Summer Flights to Europe from Every U.S. State

No matter what state you live in, there’s a deal for you this summer to fly to Europe for a fun vacation. And whether you live on the West Coast, the East Coast, or the Midwest, all the prices are pretty reasonable.

For instance, I live in North Carolina and the cheapest flight is to Reykjavík, Iceland for $663. If you live in California, the cheapest jaunt is to Barcelona, Spain for $583. Not so bad!

Kayak.com crunched the numbers for the past year for flights from May 24-September 2, 2019 and came up with the median prices for these destinations for the summer. So you may see some fluctuation, but these are the middle-est prices.

What’s Really Inside the Hot Dog You’re Eating?

We are in full-blown hot dog season right now. Actually, hot dog season is all year long, but the summer is when we’re all going to cookouts, baseball games, and food trucks to load up on wieners.

But have you ever taken the time to sit back and think about what’s actually in all those hot dogs that you’re stuffing your face with?

All of us have heard the rumors over the years about the disgusting ingredients inside that foot long. But trust me – they may not be the most healthy concoction ever dreamed up, but hot dogs are 100% FDA approved.

So what’s in them? Well, a whole lot of “trimmings”, which are discards of meat cuts leftover at the slaughterhouse (that’s a nice image). Think a lot of fatty tissue, sinewy muscle, meat from an animal’s head, and even the liver sometimes. These trimmings can also contain animal blood, skin, and feet (but it’s all edible). All of these leftovers are cooked to kill bacteria, made into a paste, and then ground up.

It’s also at this point that other ingredients are added for flavor and to help with curing the meat that will one day be a delicious hot dog. After this process, the ground up paste is put into casings and cooked all the way. Then there’s a water rinse, the dogs are removed from the casing, and they’re packaged for all of us to buy. So now you know, and you can put some of the (more) disgusting rumors to rest. Enjoy your summer dogs – I know I will!

This Is Why You Shouldn’t Leave Water Bottles in Your Hot Car

There are a lot of things you shouldn’t leave in a hot car (dogs and cats, kids) but you should add one more thing to the list this summer, and a lot of us are guilty of it.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

That’s right, plastic water bottles. And there’s a couple of reasons why you shouldn’t do this. The first is because when it gets hot, chemicals from plastic bottles can seep into the water, and we all know that isn’t good for anyone. But a hot plastic bottle also has the potential to set your car on fire.

If the sunlight hits the bottle just the right way, it can set your seat ablaze. A man named Dioni Amuchastegui noticed this happening in his truck one hot day and he took to Facebook to warn others of this hazard.

The thermometer tested his bottle at an incredible 213 degrees. If the beam of light is focused on a vinyl seat and the conditions are perfect, you might find your car on fire this summer. So clean out the trash from your vehicle and have a safe summer.
