Today in weird things people are doing to food, a crime worse than dipping fries in milkshakes: topping a drink with a burger and sticking a straw through it.

Hamburger straws are a hot new trend in Japan.

Twenty-somethings cheat because we're trying to figure out who we truly are, says study

Basically, you buy a McDonald’s meal, take your burger out of its box, and put it on top of your drink, letting the straw penetrate its meat and buns.

Why? We genuinely have no clue. After the first few sips, the horrifying taste of Coke infused burger will pass and you’ll… Read the full story

Noticed that your early twenties seem to be filled with f***bois and, well, generally awful people intent on tearing your heart to shreds?

There’s a reason for that.

Torrid will become the first plus-size brand to show at NYFW

A new study sheds some light on why early twenty-somethings tend to be a bit sh*t at staying faithful – it’s because our lives are in shambles, we’re figuring out who we are, and we want to feel like we’re being independent.

The study, published this week in the Journal of Sex Research analysed 104 adults with an… Read the full story

Kayla Itsines is about as fit as it’s humanly possible to be.

She eats well. She’s ripped. And she has thick glossy hair which never seems to go out of place during her mad workouts.

Kayla Itsines says female pattern baldness runs in her family so she wears clip-in hair

But Kayla has her insecurities.

She’s just revealed that she actually has ‘genetically really thin hair’ and a ‘family history of female pattern baldness’ which means that if she wants to have a thick ponytail, she often has to resort to using clip-in hair.

Unless you’re a born-again Mother Theresa, you’ll probably recognise the less-than-spiritual emotions that surge through your body when you witness another woman licking her lips in the direction of your boyfriend or partner – regardless of whether you’ve been with your fella for 10 days or 10 years.

Nine women out of 10 are decent enough to back off once they know a man is taken, but there’s always that one woman truly lacking in respect.

Women are used to be judged and slut shamed for their clothing choices – or lack thereof.

But one body positive blogger is doing her bit to show that regardless of what we wear, we’re all due the same level of respect.

Megan Crabbe, AKA @bodyposipanda, regularly posts pictures of herself in bikinis or lingerie which are often met with negative comments.

Many of her posts have people suggesting that if she put more clothes on, more people would take her message of body positivity more seriously.

Filters and endless hours of curation mean that what we get bombarded with on an hourly basis is often far from the initial reality.
