  1. My first thought on your post was, you are 40! (that is a compliment :-) I get the same thing except it is You are 30! It is awesome being young in heart and mind. Keep up the great work. I live for the links!!!

  2. So who vetted the “soda” link? It’s really bad and inaccurate. Aspartame a poison?? That’s so old and disproven. Doesn’t anyone check with Snopes any more?

  3. I could totally use that ex-boyfriend link!! Thanks!!

  4. I agree with Alice - that soda link was full of misinformation. Come on mental_floss, you can do better than that!

  5. Cooking Mistakes - I don’t think I’ve made any of these mistakes, but I don’t need the “What to do next time” tip. I’d like to know how to fix the mistake I made now in order to salvage dinner.

  6. The warning labels are HILARIOUS! I’ve seen one, I think it was on some microwaveable product, that said “Product will be hot after heating”. Also, I’ve seen a road sign that says “Caution: Water on road during rain”.
