“Foreign Tongue Irrationality…Exploding Kid Candy Turns 50… & Flatulence Felony”

Foreign Language- People tend to make more rational, less emotionally-biased decisions when they reason through a problem in a foreign language than in their native one. Researchers call it the “foreign language effect.”

Pop Rocks- Pop Rocks debuted in 1976, meaning that it’s now 50 years old.  It did disappear from 1980 to 1986, when everyone was worried that the candy caused kids to explode.

Flatulence- In 2011, there was an unsuccessful attempt to make passing gas in public ILLEGAL in the African country Malawi.
