MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are polar bears white?
Trick question! They aren’t white at all.
Polar bears actually have two layers of clear fur which come across as white to the human eye. Their skin underneath is actually black, highlighted the white effect even more.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Celebrity Chef Uses His Restaurants To Give Free Food To First Responders
The last 12 months have been a rough one. There has been far too many “emergency” situations. Between the COVID pandemic, riots in cities over the summer, and the events at the Capitol in D.C. a few days ago. Luckily as Mr. Rodgers famously once said, ” look for the helpers, you will always find people who are helping”
That is the case with Celebrity chef José Andrés. He was one of the first people to use his various restaurants that he owns to give out free food when COVID hit. Then with all the chaos at the Capitol this week, he stepped up again, handing out a bunch of free food to cops and first responders in D.C. who weren’t able to get food because of hte 6pm curfew that night.
Amazing work. Look for the helpers, indeed. always.
Hi everybody…what can I say…today was a tragic day for America. I’m here in Bethesda, picking up 120 pizzas to bring to downtown DC to the heroic women & men keeping our city safe tonight. I’m meeting my @WCKitchen team which is also bringing our kitchen truck to support… pic.twitter.com/FmoPedVYeu

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why does some toothpaste have red and blue lines?
If you brushed your teeth this morning you might have noticed this. Some toothpaste have those red and blue lines? Are they just for show? Or do the mean something?
Back in the 1970s solid white toothpaste was just meant to clean the mouth. But more and more customers wanted it to freshen their breath too. So Aquafresh decided to add a blue stripe in theirs to signify that it could do both things, clean and freshen. Then once people started to care about their gum health more they added a third red line to show it now had plaque control as well.
Even though some toothpaste can do all three things with a solid white, a lot of them still keep the blue and red too because it sells more.
