This is a classic “how has someone not invented this yet?!” story. Well, now they have.
Your messy lunches eating burritos or wraps are about to be a thing of the past thanks to a group of brilliant chemical engineering students at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. They are creating something called “Tastee Tape”. Essentially it’s an edible adhesive that holds the burrito together.
They were inspired by their own experience of making a mess every time they would eat lunch. Since they are applying for a patent they wouldn’t give the secret ingredients out. But they apparently are all safe to consume, food grade, and “common dietary additives”.
This sounds like it would be a good invention to test too. Thank of all the burritos you get to eat!
I can’t wait for this to hit the market. Head here to see what it looks like

With this mini heat wave over the weekend I feel like a lot of people got caught off guard and woke up with quite the sunburn today.
Anytime you reach for that sunscreen you have to check the SPF. But what does that SPF number actually mean?
The SPF number tells you how long the sun’s UV radiation would take to make your skin that painful red if you have the sunscreen on versus the amount of time it would take without sunscreen. So for example, with SPF 30 it would take you 30 times longer to burn your skin than if you weren’t wearing the sunscreen.
I’m usually always reaching for at least 50 SPF. Stay cool out there this summer!

Even if you don’t have babies who need formula you probably know someone who does and is directly affected by this formula shortage lately. As frustrating and awful as it is, there is a sense of community that has come along with it. People doing all they can to help their friends, family, and sometimes even complete strangers find what they need.
Like this restaurant owner down in Texas. He figured out that he could purchase a large amount of baby formula through his food distributer he uses for the restaurant. He has been giving out the formula for free to people in the area who are in need. He said it’s his way of giving back to all the people who helped keep his business alive during covid.
Love that.

We’ve all been nervous in our lives, sometimes to the point that you “get cold feet” and decide not to do something. But how did that saying come to be?
It was originally a military term that warriors would use when their feet would get literally frozen into the ground during the winter. It would prevent them from rushing into battle to fight.
