You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

If you’re ever in a bind, throw some Doritos on the grill and spark them up. Though you can make kindling out of nearly anything, the flavored corn chips are particularly handy because they’ll burn for a long time. In fact, most chips will serve as good fire starters because they’re made of flammable hydrocarbons soaked in oil, according to an investigation by The Star. The more covered in powder-flavoring they are, the longer the fire will last!

In perhaps the most Floridian attack ever, the deadly weapon of choice was an alligator. As 24-year-old Joshua James was being handed his drink at a Wendy’s drive-thru, he tossed a live 3.5-foot alligator at the attendant for absolutely no reason at all. As a result, he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, possession of an alligator, and petty theft. He was also banned from all Wendy’s fast food restaurants.

Richard Montañez, working at the Frito-Lay plant as a janitor in Southern California, pitched the idea of adding chili powder to regular Cheetos to the company’s CEO. Top brass liked the idea and, since its success, Montañez has risen up the company ranks and now serves as an executive for PepsiCo.

Someone said they were tracking 1967 Z/28 sales. This one is coming up for auction in the next couple of days. I tried to locate the post where I read that but can't find it. If you know who I am talking about, please bring this car to his attention. Thank you.
