Hard seltzer was just the beginning. Now we’ve got hard coconut water, hard herbal tea, hard juice, hard whatever iteration of a refreshing beverage you can think of. Part of this, of course, is the result of our endless quest for new thrills. It’s the same phenomenon responsible...
The yellow, crusty residue taking up permanent residence inside your favorite shirts is due to an unfortunate reaction between sweat and antiperspirant, and you may be surprised to learn that deodorant is just an innocent bystander. Deodorants are designed to do only what their name implies —...
Thanks to the pandemic, I’m spending way more time inside than usual. Which, in turn, means I’m spending way more time staring at screens. Basically, within seconds of waking up, I’m looking at my phone, before transitioning to my laptop all day, only to return to my...
