Sure, you know your full and half moons… But can you easily spot a ‘waning gibbous’ or ‘waxing crescent?’ According to Moon Phases Explained With Oreo Cookies, the subtle differences are nothing more than how much cream you remove from the cookie, or something to do with the sun and earth.

It took over 70 years and billions of customers served globally — but McDonald’s can finally make ads with no copy or logos on it. Referred to as the ‘Unbranded’ campaign, the series of extreme close-ups was created by ad agency TBWA\Paris for use in outdoor ads throughout France.
Well done, McDonald’s and TBWA. You’ve not only successfully executed an unbranded ad campaign, but managed to make McDonald’s food appear somewhat edible. Although, we imagine being that close to the actual product would be quite horrifying.

If you’re the type who expresses themselves best with a keyboard-induced pictorial representation of a facial expression, and you like cups, check out Emoji Paper Cups. The cups will not only let everyone else in viewing distance know how you feel, but they can be altered as your mood changes.
For instance, in the morning, you can show how you feel before your coffee (whatever the emoticon for ‘stabby’ is), and then progress to ‘less stabby.’ Emoji Cups are also great for parties, for when you’d rather not mistakenly drink from your grumpy friend’s cup.
Apparently there’s an enormous difference between the sex in pornography and the sex that occurs in real life. Who knew? Porn Sex vs Real Sex is here to shed some of the awkwardness, explaining the differences in a language that we can all understand… Food.
The British narration also helps, but a warning… Men may cringe at around the 0:11 mark, and please make sure not to be eating Nutella while you watch this. Some language is also a bit NSFW. Please enjoy.
