Cinnamon Coke Is Coming For The Holidays
Coca-Cola doesn’t release a new flavor too often, so when it happens, it’s pretty exciting. The soda giant is about to bring us a new beverage that made its debut in the U.K. last year and now it’s making its way to the U.S.A. Get ready for Cinnamon Coca-Cola!
Coke hasn’t spilled many details about the flavor yet, but it’s likely to hit stores in plenty of time for the holiday season.
Along with the new Cinnamon Coke, there’s a new Sprite flavor on the way as well: Winter Spiced Cranberry. The festive cans show it’s a “limited-edition” addition and it’ll be here for the holidays too.

Is Pumpkin Spice Spam Taking The PSL Thing Way Too Far?
Spam, never to be outdone, has unveiled its own demented take on everybody’s favorite orange gourd: Pumpkin Spice Spam. The canned meat product — which spawned a viral fake in 2017 — goes public for real on September 23, and will be available on Spam.com and Walmart.com. The Daily Meal got an advance taste of the sweet and savory specialty and reports that it’s not…the worst thing they’ve ever tasted? Since its creation circa 2003, PSL-inspired foods have gone through all phases of a trend’s brief existence, from earnest appreciation at its Starbucks birthplace to meme territory. Now, even Martha Stewart is over it. Last year, she declared the lattes “basic.” And in the wake of the Pumpkin Spice Spam, even the PSL’s strongest base is distancing itself from the drink.
- Is pumpkin spice spam making you never want to have anything pumpkin spice again?

“Dogfishing” Is The Latest Dating Trend
Are you familiar with dogfishing? Here’s how it works...typically the guys will post pics of them with an adorable dog that’s not theirs. Yup – they’re just “posing” to get the ladies.
Gaby Wolffwas a victim of this strange behavior when she was looking for love on Hinge. She saw this attractive guy posing with this adorable black lab in his profile pic, soof coursethis dog lover was under the impression that was HIS dog. When he admitted it wasn’t, she describes the feeling as, “presenting yourself in this performative wayuntil that impression is ruined because you have to explain yourself.” SUCH a letdown!
So why do ladies go after the “doggie lovers” in the first place? Online dating coachErika Ettinsays, “Sometimes women subconsciously equate things like how a man treats his dog is how he would treat a partner.” That’s a totally fair assumption…which is why dogfishing is SO shady!
Bottom line? Get your own dog to pose with.

Black At the Center Of The Galaxy Is Suddenly Sparking- The behavior of a black hole is freaking out scientists.
Scientists are trying to figure out why the black hole at the center of the Milky Way just lit up brighter than ever. Astronomers at UCLA said they observed the supermassive black hole glowing with "unprecedented brightness" on four nights this year. We’re talking 75 times brighter in just two hours.
The lead scientist says that indicates something interesting is happening in the region of the black hole. Known as Sagittarius A, the black hole is four million times as massive as the Sun, and is about 26-thousand light years from Earth.
The brightness of Sagittarius A varies, but this has been the biggest fluctuation ever and the strongest registered with infrared technology.

Ohio State Wants To Trademark “The” = Ohio State University is seeking a trademark for the word "the."
The school submitted the filing to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last week. A school spokesman confirmed the action by saying it was necessary to protect the brand. The school is officially known at The Ohio State University.
Even though it is one of the most common words in English, it can be trademarked if the seeker can prove a distinctive usage outside of the traditional meaning.
Ohio State last fall had 150 trademarks in 17 countries, plus a number of pending applications, and had worked with about 400 licensees, a spokesman said then.
