Story 1: It’s Friday the 13th! Here Are the Top Ten Superstitious Things We Do
Does Friday the 13th make you nervous, or is it just another day? A new poll found 29% of adults believe they’ve been INJURED because they didn’t follow a superstition they should have. Here are the top ten superstitions we believe in . . .
- Avoiding walking under a ladder. 62% said they’d never do it.
- Knocking on wood.
- Crossing your fingers.
- Saying “bless you” when someone sneezes.
- Not opening umbrellas indoors.
- “Find a penny, pick it up.” But only if it’s heads up.
- Don’t put new shoes on a table. It’s supposed to be bad luck . . . and unsanitary.
- Breaking the wishbone on a turkey.
- Throwing salt over your shoulder if you spill some.
- Keeping your wish a secret when you blow out your candles.
The poll also found 36% of us have a lucky number.
Story 2: A Cheetos Holiday Cookbook Is on the Way
Earlier this week, Mountain Dew announced a new cookbook where every recipe uses Mountain Dew. But maybe you were thinking, “Whoa, that sounds too fancy.” This might be more your speed . . .
CHEETOS just announced they’re coming out with a holiday cookbook . . . and, yes, all 22 of the recipes involve Cheetos.
The recipes include things like: Flamin’ Hot Friendsgiving Turkey . . . Chester’s Kickin’ Cornbread Dressing . . . Chester’s Cheesy Skillet Corn . . . and Good, Better, Best Pumpkin Pie. And some are available for free online.
If you want the cookbook, you can get it at the Cheetos website by making at least a $35 donation to the World Central Kitchen nonprofit . . . but it’s currently sold out.
Story 3: Is “Pecan” Pronounced Pea-can or Puh-con?
We’re entering pecan pie season . . . so it’s time to dive back into THIS debate. Which pronunciation is right: PEA-can . . . or puh-CON?
A new survey asked people and the results . . . solve literally nothing. 50.54% of people voted for puh-CON . . . 49.46% voted for PEA-can.
And, of course, this poll didn’t take into account two of the OTHER possible pronunciations: pick-AHN and PEE-kahn.
