Eating 6 Saltine Crackers in a Minute - How Hard Could It Be?

How hard can it be to eat 6 saltine crackers in a minute. Doesn't sound hard. Of course you have to do it without any liquids. So can't down water after each one. So I imagine your mouth would get pretty dried out. But could I do it? Eating saltine crackers without water is hard because they quickly absorb saliva, turning them into a dry, crumbly mass that is difficult to swallow. The crackers are a simple starch, and without saliva to lubricate and break them down, they become like chewing paper and can be difficult to move down the throat. According to Guinness World Records the most eaten was 6 officially. But I saw many other videos out there where people got up to 12 crackers eaten in a minute. But I will stick with trying to go for 6 and see if I can even do that. Well here we go:

What is Love - The Song that Makes Me Shake My Head

This morning when I was driving to work I heard an old classic on the radio. It was "What is Love" by Haddaway. And only one thing came to my mind! Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan shaking their heads on Saturday Night Live back in the old days. In fact the movie version based on the SNL skit came out in 1998. Back when I was a freshman in college (yes, I'm old). But this is one of three songs in my life that just makes me do an action when I hear it. In this case it's the head jerk up and down. Then there's the Macarena. That makes me the stupid little dance, even when I'm driving. Then last but not least is the good old Y.M.C.A song. It makes you spell out the YMCA with your arms. But back to this song. It actually a is catchy song. Maybe because I relate it to A Night at the Roxbury or Saturday Night Live. Are there any songs that have this kind of impact on you? Enjoy this old clip from SNL where Jim Carrey joins in on the fun!

Cirkul - Transform Your Water With a Turn of a Dial?

So the Cirkul rage has been going on for quite some time now. I had thought about purchasing a bottle and trying it out, but never got around to it. I figured it was just your typical product being pushed by Youtubers and Tiktokers that was more hype than anything. But finally, now in 2025 I caved in. I decided to give it a try. But before I tell you about that let me tell you a bit about Cirkul: Started in 2015 by Garrott Waggoner and Andy Gay, Cirkul's goal was to solve the frustration of messy, inconsistent drink powders. They created a reusable water bottle system with interchangeable cartridges containing flavors, vitamins, and caffeine, allowing users to control flavor intensity and drink more water sustainably. The company grew fast thanks to Tiktok popularity and a deal with Wal-Mart. So how does it work? Users insert flavor "Sips" into the bottle, which infuse the water as they drink it, with a dial to control the flavor strength. So you buy the bot...

Novocaine - A Movie Review

So I decided to watch Novocaine starring Jack Quaid, who is the son of famous actor Dennis Quaid. The movie officially came out March of this year. The premise of the movie is Quaid's character, Nathan Caine, is incapable of feeling physical pain. Which in theory sounds good. But when you can't feel if you are being burned or cut, it could cause some problems. The film also stars Amber Midthunder, who plays the love interest of Nathan. When Sherry (Midthunder's character), the woman he loves is kidnapped, he uses his unique lack of pain to become an action hero and fight to rescue her. The film blends action, comedy, and suspense as Nate navigates a violent situation, using his condition to his advantage. It's a fun movie to watch seeing Nathan get thru situations where a typical person would be screaming in pain and he feels nothing. Definitely worth a watch and will give you a few good laughs. Out of 10 Popcorn Kernels, I give it a 7.

National Treasure 3 Coming? Let's Get Prepared

The first two National Treasure movies were both great. The first movie, National Treasure , came out in 2004 and first introduced us to Benjamin Franklin Gates, played by Nicholas Cage. Benjamin "Ben" is a member of a family of treasure hunters. At a young age, his grandfather tells him the legend of the hidden treasures of the Founding Fathers of the USA. His grandfather teaches him that the men and women of American history buried the treasure somewhere within the country and have hidden highly cryptic clues throughout various lands within the nation's borders. This eventually leads to his great treasure quest. Then in 2007, National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets came out. Several years after Benjamin "Ben" found the Knight's Templar national treasure, the Gates family finds themselves once again defending their family name. Competing scavenger Mitch Wilkinson claims that he has learned from a fragment of a missing page of John Wilkes Booth's diary, ...
