Man makes pasta with energy drink
In a video that can only be described as bizarre, a man was filmed preparing pasta with an energy drink.
The universal popularity of pasta has often times been attributed to its ease of preparation and the myriad ways in which the Italian staple can be cooked.
While red and white sauce pasta dishes are fairly common, several countries across the world have their own recipes for preparing pasta – but this is perhaps the first time that pasta had been cooked with energy drink.
American magician, Justin Flom, shared a video of his friend cooking the pasta with a blue-coloured energy drink.
Not satisfied with simply cooking the pasta in the energy drink, he went on to prepare a ‘pasta sauce’ that incorporates flour with the same energy drink.
The video had been viewed 5.6 million times on Facebook. In the comments section, many called the dish “disgusting” and “horrendous”. – ndtv.com

Message in bottle floats from Canada to Ireland in 13 years
A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com

Woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
