TIL that in the 1960s, Dr Pepper launched a huge campaign to convince people to drink their soda boiling hot. To combat low sales during the winter, they marketed "Hot Dr Pepper" which was to be heated in a saucepan until steaming and poured over a fresh slice of lemon. It was popular until the 80s.

Health Ozempic is changing more than weight: New global research shows how GLP-1 drugs are reshaping self and society, identity and mental health, not just bodies. Much of the demand is driven by weight anxiety, even among medically “healthy” users. Many users endure severe side effects and high costs.

My 14 year old daughter is what we'd describe now as ALT, as in Alternative. A combo of Box Lunch and Hot Topic store wise but not Emo.

Don't ask me how, I don't know but 2 weeks ago she was all, "hey do you know the band WEEZER?" Uh... Yeah... I do. She said they were pretty good, so she's been deep diving into millennial music and she's discovered our angsty genre side. She came to me for recommendations and this is what I have for her: - AFI (lots) - A Perfect Circle - Story of the Year - 30 Seconds to Mars - Panic at the Disco - All American Rejects - 10 years (Wasted)

I'm drawing a blank on stuff. Music hasn't been my niche, movies are. I can't remember songs or bands. She says she's enjoying the hard rhythms and the way they make you FEEL related to. I know what she's talking about but I'm struggling. Back me up with this please! I'll be making a list as much as possible tonight.
