Science Has Figured Out How Much Ice You Need to Perfectly Chill a 12-Pack

It’s about time science did something worthwhile!!

A physicist named Rhett Allain just figured out exactly how much ice you need to perfectly chill a 12-pack of beer. Or a 12-pack of soda or water . . . if you’re That Guy.

He did all sorts of thermodynamics, which we won’t get into here. But after all his calculations, he found it takes 250 grams of ice per drink. So, exactly 6.6 pounds to cool a dozen beers.

Ice usually comes in 10-pound bags though. And if you drink slowly, you’re actually better off using a 10-pound bag, since some of the ice will melt.

The biggest takeaway here is . . . it takes more ice than you would’ve thought to keep your drinks cold. If you have 36 beers in a bucket, make sure there’s also room for at least 20 pounds of ice.

Epic Promotional Video From Sizzler… This Is Great! America! Boom!

There’s a promotional video for Sizzler that’s all over Facebook. It’s from 1991, and it’s so cheesy it seems fake. It’s almost five minutes long, and it’s filled with enough corny, patriotic clichés to fill ten campaign ads.

But the best part is the SONG. It’s about freedom, traditions, and America . . . since, quote, “Sizzler is the one who brings us choices.”

It’s been online for a couple years . . . apparently they made it for their annual meeting back in the day, to sell franchises.

A Woman Stabbed Her Husband For Stinking Up the Bathroom

This should be a grave warning to every guy out there who thinks it’s hilarious to stink up the bathroom, then watch people’s reactions when they walk in.

Apparently there’s a 34-year-old guy in Otaku, Japan with awful smelling poop . . . and it drove his 29-year-old wife, Emi Mamiya, crazy.

She finally had enough earlier this week . . . and when she caught a whiff after one of his particularly rancid trips to the bathroom, she stabbed him in the FACE with a knife.

He went to the hospital with a huge gash on his left cheek . . . and she was arrested.

She told the police she was also upset that he tried to help their three-year-old son use the toilet without washing his hands first. Plus, she didn’t want her kid in there, quote, “The toilet stinks so much that the child cannot even use it.”

Yes, that’s disgusting, but she didn’t have to make that big of a STINK. (Rim Shot!)

Another Stupid Optical Illusion: Is This Cat Going Up the Stairs or Down?

Ever since that photo of the dress went viral, people have been trying to find the “next dress.”  This . . . probably isn’t it.

There’s a new brain teaser photo going around online that could lead to people getting into arguments . . . maybe even fights.  And really, that’s all anyone wants.

It’s a photo that shows a cat either going UP a flight of stairs . . . or down.

And just when you think you’ve decided on an answer, you look at the picture slightly differently and change your mind.

I’ve settled on the cat going up . . . but I could flip-flop in two minutes.

Whistling Is Dead . . . Are Cell Phones to Blame?

When you’re walking down the street, sitting in a waiting room, or standing in an elevator . . . do you ever hear someone WHISTLING anymore?

A new survey found 70% of people say they hear less whistling than they did 20 or 30 years ago. And they’re probably right . . . a cultural historian at Syracuse University in New York says it IS disappearing.

And he blames it on . . . cell phones. Of course he does. Every change in modern society gets traced back to cell phones, right?

Since we’ve got our phones for unlimited distractions, we don’t need to whistle to mindlessly occupy ourselves anymore.

Plus, we’re far more likely to walk around now listening to music on our phones . . . which, again, means we’re not bothering to whistle.
