Story 1: Surprise! You’re on Camera an Average of 238 Times a Week
Get ready to think back on all those times you picked your nose and thought no one was watching . . .
A new study found there are so many security cameras now, the average American is caught on camera 238 times a week. That’s 34 times each day. And if you travel a lot, or work certain jobs, it’s over a THOUSAND times a week.
Here’s how they broke it down . . .
- You’re more likely to be caught by a security camera while DRIVING than at any other time. 160 times a week on average.
- The average employee is on camera 8 times a day, or 40 times a week. But it’s a lot higher if you work in retail.
- You’re caught on camera 24 times a week while shopping.
- Doorbell and security cameras in your own neighborhood catch you 14 times a week, or twice a day.
- By next year, there will be around a BILLION live security cameras worldwide. Including up to 180 million in the U.S.
Story 2: General Mills Admits They Made Their Cereals Worse, So They’re Bringing Back the ’80s Taste
The cereal companies have worked really hard to get artificial flavors and extra sugar out of their products over the past few decades. And the result has been . . . WORSE CEREAL.
General Mills has basically admitted it. And they just announced they’re permanently bringing back the, quote, “’80s taste” of four of their major brands: Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Golden Grahams, and Cookie Crisp.
Trix will come in its classic fruit shapes . . . Cocoa Puffs and Cookie Crisp will have a stronger chocolate flavor . . . and Golden Grahams will be made with actual honey.
One other big reason they’re doing this: Millennials are nostalgic for the cereals they grew up eating, but it’s a real letdown when the cereals don’t taste as good as we remember.
All four of the “retro recipes” are hitting stores now.

Story 3: A New Invention Lets You Eat Your Burrito with Less Mess by Putting It in a Big Chapstick Tube
If you have trouble keeping your burritos together while you eat them . . . because a little paper and foil just isn’t enough . . . look at what some mad scientist dreamt up.
Someone created a product called the Burrito Pop, and it’s a tube for your burrito that basically works like a big stick of Chapstick.
You put your burrito in the tube, then twist the bottom to make your burrito pop up slowly. That makes it a way less messy option for burrito eating.
If you’re interested, the Burrito Pop is taking orders on Kickstarter right now. It’ll cost you $28.
