Dailey Bailey: It’s Official: Women Love Pizza More Than Men

I like any news about women gorging themselves on unhealthy food . . . don’t read into what that means about my personality, just take it at face value . . . and this news definitely qualifies.

A new study found two-thirds of the true pizza lovers in America are women.

The study defined a “pizza lover” as someone who eats at least one frozen pizza and one pizza from a restaurant every month.

Interestingly enough, 68% of pizza lovers exercise at least twice a week.

They’re also most likely to be in their 20s . . . which means the average pizza lover in this country is a young woman in decent shape. Who saw THAT coming?

Dailey Bailey: The Five Biggest Dating Dealbreakers About Money

The people at Yahoo Finance recently talked to men and women in their 20s and 30s, and asked them about money habits that can ruin a new relationship. Here are the top five things that came up . . .

1. Not paying on the first date. More than three-quarters of women agreed that men should pay on a first date. Which is good, because nearly all of the men said they would cover the bill on a first date.

2. Asking about finances too early. Asking about stuff like their salary or credit card debt should be off-limits until the three-month mark.

3. Too much debt. Most women said credit card debt was a major turn-off, although some student debt is okay. And men also agreed that too much credit debt is a red flag, although they didn’t specify exactly how much is too much.

4. A low credit score. Nearly half of Americans said bad credit is a red flag.

5. The woman earning more. This one turned out NOT to be a dealbreaker at all. The stereotype is that men can feel threatened by a woman who earns more. But only one of the men surveyed admitted he preferred earning more. The rest said it would be a major plus if the woman did.

Dailey Bailey: What Vice Is More Popular in Your State Than Anywhere Else?

Americans have so many vices that they can be customized on a state-by-state basis.

The social network Foursquare analyzed its data to figure out the vice that’s the most disproportionately popular in every state. They defined a vice as, quote, “an alcoholic drink, fattening food, dessert, or borderline controversial preference.”

Here are some of the highlights:

In-N-Out Burger is 3,525% more popular in California than anywhere else.

Gambling is 1,395% more popular in Nevada.

Moonshine is 662% more popular in Tennessee.

And drip coffee is 656% more popular in Washington.

Dailey Bailey: Two Guys Try to Rob a Store With a Machete . . . But the Owner Has a Much Bigger Sword

Remember the scene in “Crocodile Dundee” where the mugger pulls a knife, and Crocodile Dundee says, “That’s not a knife, THAT’S a knife”? It’s almost three decades later, and we finally have the real-life version.

Two guys went into a convenience store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Friday night, pulled out a 12-inch MACHETE, and tried to rob the place.

But the store owner wasn’t intimidated . . . because he happened to have a much BIGGER sword behind the counter.

He pulled it out . . . the two guys knew they were in TROUBLE . . . and he chased them out.

The cops are still looking for them.

Dailey Bailey: Today’s College Freshmen Have Never Known a World Without Hybrid Cars, “South Park”, or Google

It’s that time of year again where we make you feel super old . . . even if you’re only 22.

Kids are heading to college right now, so Beloit College in Wisconsin just released its annual “Mindset List.” That’s the one that gets into the heads of this year’s college freshmen . . . most of whom were born in 1997.

Here are their nine best insights . . .

1. Princess Diana, the Notorious B.I.G., and Mother Teresa were dead before most of them were born.

2. They’ve never known a world without hybrids cars. The Honda Insight went on sale in America in 1999 and the Toyota Prius started in 2000, so they won’t have any memory of a time before them.

3. They’ve never known a world without “South Park”. It debuted in 1997 and has been going strong their entire lives.

4. They’ve also never known a world without “Harry Potter”, which also debuted in 1997.

5. They never licked a postage stamp . . . not just because they don’t send letters, but because they could always use stamps that you peel and stick.

6. They’ve been able to Google stuff since they were old enough to use computers.

7. They’ve had Wi-Fi access for pretty much their entire lives.

8. They barely remember TV before it was in HD.

9. They’ve never seen baseball without interleague play, which started in the 1997 season. Before then, American League and National League teams only played each other in the World Series.

Here’s something new to worry about: You worry too much. What a vicious cycle.

A new study found we’re literally wasting years of our lives worrying. We do it for an average of one hour and 50 minutes a day. That’s almost 28 entire days per year . . . or five total years of your entire adult life.

A few things that just missed the top 10 are: Growing old alone . . . our pet’s health . . . being the victim of a crime . . . terrorism . . . and getting cheated on.

The study also found 84% of us have lost sleep over worrying . . . and 60% say it’s affected our relationship.

Dailey Bailey: Three Things You Didn’t Know About Deodorant

Here are three things you probably didn’t know about deodorant . . .

1. You’re supposed to put antiperspirant on at night. It works best if it has time to soak into your sweat ducts. And if you put it on right after you take a shower in the morning, you immediately start sweating it off.

2. We’re still not sure what causes yellow pit-stains. Researchers think the aluminum in antiperspirant turns your shirt yellow when it reacts with something, but they don’t know if it’s your sweat, your skin, your detergent, or the actual fabric.

3. You might not even need deodorant. Some people just don’t have B.O., and it has to do with genetics. There’s a specific gene called ABCC-11. And if you don’t have it, you probably don’t need deodorant.

There’s an easy way to tell if you have it or not, but it’s kind of gross . . . you have to look at your EARWAX. If it’s dry and flaky, you probably don’t have the gene, and don’t need deodorant. If it’s dark and sticky, you probably do.

For some reason, a lot of Asian people don’t have it, but if your ancestors were from Europe, there’s about a 98% chance you do.
