Jack in the Box is testing out new “Burger Dippers” in Sacramento, California. Those are fries . . . made out of cheeseburgers. They basically put breading on sticks of ground-up cheeseburger, then deep fried them. According to one review, they taste, quote, “artificial” and aren’t worth buying.

middle stalls, making it the least-used — and, chances are, the cleanest.

Apparently, some couples have started signing
“dating pre-nups.” That’s where they, basically, each lay out
their DEMANDS for the relationship . . . what they want, what they don’t want,
and, I guess, also who gets to keep the stuff if they break up.
