Story 1: Are You a Good Husband or Wife by 1939 Standards?
An old marriage test from 1939 is making the rounds online. It’s supposed to tell you if you’re being a good husband or wife. But most of the tips don’t translate to 2020 very well. Guys had it a LOT easier back then. Women, not so much.
Here are some of the signs you’re a good HUSBAND, according to the test: You’re nice to her friends . . . remember your anniversary . . . you’re kind to her, even if no one’s watching . . . you ask for her opinion sometimes . . . you let her drive the car if she needs it . . . and you read the paper out loud to her. (???)
A few signs you’re NOT a great husband include: Flirting in front of her . . . comparing her to your mom, or previous wives . . . talking about how life was better before you got married . . . not saying “excuse me” when you burp . . . and criticizing her in public.
Now here are a few signs you’re a good WIFE by 1939 standards: You always serve dinner on time . . . you play an instrument . . . get dressed up for breakfast . . . you’re a good housekeeper . . . you always put the kids to bed . . . you run any big purchases by your husband first . . . and you let him sleep in on the weekends.
Some signs you’re NOT a good wife include: Not liking kids . . . being late for appointments . . . letting your cold feet touch him under the covers . . . being a backseat driver . . . getting jealous . . . and wearing red nail polish.

Story 2: The Most Ridiculous “Biggest Thing” in All 50 States
They say “everything’s bigger in Texas.” Which isn’t technically true. But they do have the world’s biggest “diaper cake.” (???)
Someone posted a list of the most ridiculous “biggest thing” or world record that each state has bragging rights to. Here are the highlights . . .
- Texas . . . world’s largest “diaper cake.” It’s a baby shower thing where you build a fake cake out of diapers. A group in Texas did one with 24,900 diapers in 2018.
- Colorado . . . largest gathering of people wearing fake mustaches.
- Georgia . . . largest whoopee cushion. It’s exactly 25 feet across.
- Minnesota . . . largest collection of cow memorabilia.
- Rhode Island . . . world’s largest sock.
- Kansas . . . largest serving of nachos.
- Alabama . . . biggest bubblegum bubble ever blown. It was 20 inches wide.
- Pennsylvania . . . world’s largest Ouija board.
- Arkansas . . . largest set of wind chimes.
- Louisiana . . . largest voodoo doll.
- Massachusetts . . . world’s largest wallet. It’s just over 10 feet tall.
- New York . . . highest completed pancake toss at 31 feet 1 inch.
- Ohio . . . largest pumpkin pie.
- Tennessee . . . world’s longest picnic table.

Story 3: Pumpkin Spice Mac and Cheese Now Exists
Here’s more proof brands can . . . and will . . . add pumpkin spice to EVERYTHING.
Kraft just created a pumpkin spice version of their famous mac and cheese. But . . . it’s only going to be in Canada, and they’re only making 1,000 boxes to give away.
Will we get pumpkin spice mac and cheese in the U.S.? Probably not this year, but I can’t see them keeping it away from us forever.
