If You Buy Instant Noodles, Throw Them Out IMMEDIATELY! Here’s The Reason Why…

Instant noodles are one of the world’s most popular foods. It’s been estimated that about 95 billion servings of instant noodles are eaten around the world each year. That’s a heck of a lot of noodles but if you’ve ever had instant noodles, its popularity really shouldn’t come as much as a surprise. They’re cheap, they have an incredibly long shelf life, they’re easy to make, and they are delicious, with so many different flavours available. But while you can get your calorie fix from instant noodles, they aren’t exactly very nutritious. Many people consider instant noodles to be “junk food” because it’s low in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but high in carbohydrates and unhealthy saturated fat. And unfortunately, it gets far worse than that…

Where Does the Fool in April Fools’ Come From?

The origins of April Fools’ Day are uncertain, but one theory is that it began in 1582, when France adopted the Gregorian calendar. Before this time, New Year’s Day fell on March 25 rather than January 1. Those who continued to celebrate the old New Year at the beginning of April were called “fools” by their early adopting contemporaries. Even before this transition, the New Year had long been associated with the term “fool.” In medieval France, the Feast of Fools fell on January 1. At this popular festival hijinks abounded: Christian ritual was burlesquely imitated, a fake pope was elected, and high and low officials swapped jobs for a day. Feast of Fools was likely modeled after the similarly themed pagan festival Saturnalia.

As this French tradition died out during the 16th century, a new one sprung up in the form of April Fools’ Day, or All Fools’ Day. In France, the fooled party is called the poisson d’avril, which literally means “April fish.” The customary prank involves pinning a paper fish, also called the poisson d’avril, to to a friend’s back. This is not the only April Fools’ custom involving paper and backs. In Scotland, April Fools’ Day is called Gowkie Day—gowk is another name for the cuckoo, which is a common symbol of the fool. The pranks continue into April 2, Taily Day, when friends traditionally attach a “kick me” sign to their friends’ backs. Other countries have their own customs: Brazil celebrates April 1 as Dia da Mentira, or “Lie Day,” in which people try to fool their loved ones for comedic effect. Though not directly related to April Fools’ celebrations, in northern India people throw colored water and powder on others as part of the Hindu festival of Holi, which generally falls in February or March. One Holi tradition is strikingly similar to the now defunct Feast of Fools; for one day people playfully trade caste, status, gender, and age roles.

The beginning of spring marks a time of lighthearted pranking around the world. Do you know of any other April Fools’ Day customs? What are some of your favorite April Fools’ pranks?

Stoners! This Is What Happens To Your Body And Brain When You Smoke Weed

It’s not as bad as drinking alcohol but the next time you light up to get that mellow high, think about what it is doing to both your body and your brain.

1. THC

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects. THC stimulates cells in the brain to release dopamine, creating euphoria and can cause hallucinations, change thinking and cause delusions. On average, the effects last about two hours, and kick in 10 to 30 minutes after ingestion. Users like it because of the effects, including feelings of relaxation, giddiness, and that characteristic stoner ‘chill.’

2. Inhaling

When you inhale, eat, or otherwise consume marijuana, THC enters the bloodstream (or the lungs first if you’re smoking) where it makes its way to special cannabinoid receptors in the brain that normally interact with naturally occurring body chemicals. Marijuana smoke contains a similar range of harmful chemicals to that of tobacco smoke including bronchial irritants, tumor promoters and carcinogens. when smoking marijuana compared to tobacco, there is a prolonged and deeper inhalation and it is smoked to a shorter butt length and at a higher combustion temperature. Inhaling from a ‘joint’ results in approximately 5 times the carbon monoxide concentration, 3 times the tar, and higher levels of ammonia as compared to tobacco, though no study has shown a correlation between cancer and smoking marijuana.
