and refused to strip down further than his undies. Police said the

wrestled with customs officers who tried to stop him. He bit into the

In the snack food world, cranking up the crisp can lead to a bigger hit, and there are entire research teams working to ensure that the texture of food is specifically calibrated to maximize crunch. The use of the word “crispy” and “crispiness” in Yelp reviews of restaurants has increased over the past decade by 20 percent, and an analysis of 7,000 menus found “crispy” is the single most common adjective used to describe texture. When food researchers measure how much people enjoy snack foods as a whole, the crunchier the rating the higher the evaluation.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
Passengers
were settling back into their airplane seats and starting to relax
when a huge explosion and flash of light interrupted an in-flight
announcement. The Boeing 777-200, headed from Denver to Honolulu on
Saturday with 231 passengers and 10 crew aboard, suffered a
catastrophic failure in its right engine and flames erupted under the
wing as the plane began to lose altitude. On the ground, people in a
Denver suburb reacted in horror as huge pieces of the engine casing
and chunks of fiberglass rained down on a sports field and on streets
and lawns, just missing one home and crushing a truck. The explosion,
visible from the ground, left a trail of black smoke in the sky, and
tiny pieces of insulation filled the air like ash. The plane landed
safely at Denver International Airport, and no one on board or on the
ground was hurt. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a
statement that the airplane experienced a right-engine failure
shortly after takeoff. Video and images posted on Twitter showed the
engine fully engulfed in flames as the plane flew through the air.

A Wisconsin restaurant owner is using his own money to help struggling local restaurants during the pandemic. Adolfo Melendez, owner of Tex-Mex restaurant El Mezcal in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, has purchased more than $2,000 in gift cards to restaurants in his community to raffle off to his customers. As of December 1, 2020, more than 110,000 eating and drinking establishments across the country have closed temporarily or for good as a result of the pandemic, according to the National Restaurant Association. Melendez says his restaurant got second place in a local contest for favorite restaurants and his ‘prize’ was having $300 in gift cards purchased from him. At that moment Melendez figured he needed to pay it forward. At the end of last year, he began to buy gift cards from local restaurants in his community and raffling them off to customers on his restaurant’s Facebook page. Winners received $20 gift card to a local restaurant.
