To achieve the maximum spooky factor from your jack-o’-lanterns this year, what you need is a little smoke creeping out of their cold, dead mouthes. Candles don’t produce enough to be worthwhile here, however, and it would be a challenge to get tiny fog machines inside all your carved pumpkins: That’s where dry ice…

Hardshell tacos have a reputation for being “inauthentic,” an aberration of the form invented by a white fast food mogul named Glen Bell. (Can you guess which popular chain he founded?) And while Glen—and Taco Bell—are responsible for the hardshell taco’s massive popularity in the United States, not to mention the…

Ferrero Rochers are too pretty for Halloween—too fancy, too golden, too...nice. Fortunately, there are two easy ways to transform them into being perfect for last-minute Halloween party or spooky evening in with the kids.

Adorable: This holiday season, married actors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are getting matching series on Prime Video. The third season of Krasinski’s Jack Ryan doesn’t drop until right before Christmas, while Blunt is getting the pre-Thanksgiving slot with The English (Nov. 11), a Tarantino-esque revenge thriller…

New molding can give a boring room more visual interest and look more expensive. While springing for the real thing looks great, it can be pretty pricey (hence why it looks expensive). There are some ways to fake the look of real wooden molding, though, without shelling out for it.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced that Bob Evans Farms Foods, Inc., is recalling approximately 7,560 pounds of Italian pork sausage products for potentially having possible foreign matter contamination—specifically, “thin blue rubber.”

What do you do when your head hits the pillow but your brain is still racing? We’ve recommended box breathing in the past, and shuffling visual images, and various relaxation routines. But I’ve always found those to be either too much work for my brain, or too boring to stick with for minutes on end. I figured out a…

When Google announced the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro earlier this month, it revealed new features for Android 13, including Clear Calling. This option makes phone calls easier to hear by reducing background noises and improving vocal quality. Although Clear Calling was announced jointly with the new Pixels, it didn’t…

For some people, “just use eyedrops” is a simple recommendation, like “take a pill” or “use this lotion.” But some of us can’t “just” use eyedrops; our eyes involuntarily twitch or blink, or we flinch and pull away entirely. I’m one of those people, and I’m happy to report there’s a way to get the drops in anyway.

Normally we frown upon “PC cleaner” apps like CCleaner because they tend to do little more than help you find the same cleanup options already built into your computer (sometimes for a fee). However, we can make an exception for PC Manager, because it’s built by Microsoft itself, and it works really well.

I’ve played a ton of survival horror games, and while I love the genre, I sometimes want something scary in a different way. After all, we should not limit ourselves to only one type of spooky entertainment, especially this time of year. The 17 games listed here provide a wide variety of video-game horror through…

Marcona almonds are sometimes called the “Queen of almonds” by those who believe there are nut kingdoms. They’re a Spanish variety of almond, a little flatter and squatter than the more narrow Californian almond you might be familiar with. Many of us have been teased by these sumptuous and outrageously priced nuts.…

Yet another assemblage of malicious apps is plaguing Android devices everywhere, which means its time to make sure you haven’t unknowingly downloaded one of them—but this batch is a bit different from the usual crop.

I rarely dive into the discourse, but last week I had to, because the discourse was centered around salad dressing. Specifically the “special” salad dressing that Olivia Wilde allegedly made for Harry Styles. The dressing turned out to be the fairly standard vinaigrette (called it) from Nora Ephron’s Heartburn, but it…

We’ve all been there: You send a text to your partner and you’re left on read. On your end, you think “what’s so hard about answering a text?” On the other side, your partner might think, “I’ll respond later,” and think nothing else of it. If this sounds familiar, chances are you have a textual compatibility problem.

No one wants to be the friend who always has to miss dinners, concerts, and vacations because of their strict budget. Maybe you’re unexpectedly tight on cash all of a sudden, or maybe your friend group has slowly but surely fallen victim to lifestyle creep. Whatever your reasons, saying “no” to well-intentioned…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that shampoo company Unilever has voluntarily recalled a number of their dry shampoos over potentially elevated levels of benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer.

As Halloween approaches, adults everywhere are faced with the usual questions: How sexy is too sexy when it comes to costumes? How much candy can you confiscate from your children before you become a monster? And, most importantly, can you pair alcohol with that stolen candy—and if so, how does one do that with the…
