Today in Things That Will Likely Be the Death of Us All: Twinkies Ice Cream
The indestructible Twinkie will never die, as we learned a few years ago when Hostess went under. The company and it's signature snack were resurrected, but even more frightening, though, Twinkies are growing stronger.
Back in December, Nestle and Hostess announced that we should keep our eyes to the freezers because Hostess cakes were coming. Lo and behold, they made good on their promise. Twinkies, Sno Balls, and the immortal chocolate CupCakes ice cream are fresh out the gate, and some of them have already been spotted in the wild.
The folks over at the Impulsive Buy found these suckers in their local Riesbeck supermarket.
While we haven’t tastes these bad boys yet, they sound absolutely delicious. In their press release last year, Hostess described flavors as:
Twinkies Ice Cream features sweet buttercream-flavored ice cream, sponge cake pieces and a vanilla frosting swirl; CupCakes Ice Cream combines chocolate ice cream, cake pieces and a cream frosting swirl; and Sno Balls Ice Cream is a marshmallow-flavored ice cream with chocolate cake pieces and a whipped coconut swirl.

Ted Cruz Nonchalantly Lays Waste to Deadspin on Twitter
Ted Cruz, do you even meme bro? Yes, yes apparently he does. And I'll be damned if he didn't address some sass from a potentially canned Deadspin Social Media chump, with steely, ice cold savagery. Big ups Cruz. Not your biggest fan, to put it lightly, but big ups my dude.

10 Times Kids Told Unbelievable Lies That Their Parents Totally Let 'Em Get Away With
Nothing quite like the stubborn bravery of a lil kid hopped up on the notion that yes, with enough creativity their ever wise parents won't suspect a thing. I was that kid. I am that man child, to this day. But hey let's lend a credit toward where credit's due. These kids definitely approached the weaving of their webs of lies with the kind of creativity that all but encouraged their parents to let 'em drag it out for just a bit longer.

Highly Unnerving Fan Theory Makes Surprising Connection Between Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, and Dante's Inferno
As an innocent and ignorant and wide-eyed kid I definitely fell prey to mistaking the iconic 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' movie as a candy-coated, chocolate-painted spectacle full of wildly enticing dreams. But dude, let me tell you. At some point or another further down the road when I'd lived a little bit more, and went back for the throwback viewing; that movie took on a whole different, sinister light.
It's vaguely terrifying. Unsuspecting kids touring a towering chocolate factory with a detached, devil-grin sporting tour guide, as they slowly get picked off one by one...succumbing to delicious temptations they'd been warned against. The fan theory here proposes a connection between the kids working their way through different layers of factory, much like Dante's Inferno involves the exploration of hell, and how its different levels include different sinful temptations. Honestly. I can see it. Mayhaps a little bit of a stretch, but the connection is definitely there.

Reddit Just Asked One of the Stupidest Questions I've Ever Heard, and, Frankly, I Love It and All The Answers
The world is filled with stupid questions, and most of those questions are size related, particularly whether or not God can create something so big that even he can't eat it.
Sometimes people think outside the bun, though. Reddit is a place for that, a safe space where stupid questions aren't chastised but encouraged. This is one of those times.
So when someone asked: "What would the Earth taste like if we shrunk it to the size of a grape and ate it as a whole?" The gang at Ask Reddit took it to heart, and the answers are fantastic.
However, the answer is quite easy: The earth would taste like chicken.

This Chick Goes Out on Dates With Tons of Men For Money, and She's Here to Talk About How Her Boyfriend Doesn't Mind
This takes pussy-whipped to a whole new level. Bro, your girlfriend is out there entertaining thirsty men that wield fat wallets, getting paid for anything 'allegedly' outside the realm of having sex. I've been in something of a mental pickle here, at a loss for who's the shittiest person in this outright absurd scenario....and well yeah, I'm still undecided.
Maybe, both of 'em. But I'm sure we have some dudes out there that'd step up to the plate to passionately argue for the merits of go-getter, outside the bounds of societally acceptable capitalism. In this case if you're the boyfriend, you leave your balls at home.

35 People That Got Wasted By Savage Comebacks
Some of these burnt and toasted individuals all but served up the comebacks that'd be their ultimate undoing on a hot, steamy platter of righteousness. While others, others just got blindsided. All in all, your 'game' is as good as your ability to engage in some solid witty banter, and these freshly fried amateurs need to turn back and hit the books.

This Bull Has Had Up To Here With Your Running and Decides to Destroy 4x4
Like bullfighting, the Running of the Bulls is fun for spectators and horrible for the bulls. Audiences watch in delight as man asserts its dominance over the four-legged by showing that they're faster and stabbier than the bull. But if you put that sword down or take those Nikes off, you are f'd.
This bull gets it. Show what you do by just destroying this small SUV.

Merriam-Webster — Yes, the Dictionary — Is Savagely Subtweeting the Shit Out of the Trump Administration
If you look up the word "Troll" in a Merriam-Webster dictionary, is there just a picture of a Merriam-Webster dictionary?
Merriam-Webster has been spending the first week of the Trump administration going all passive-aggressive on the bizarre public persona of Trump and his staff, hoping to clear somethings up, so that "facts" don't get confused with "alternative facts."

This is How You Do It: Councilman Takes Oath of Office With Friggin' Captain America Sheild
I'm not in the business of telling people how to do their jobs, but if you're an elected official and want to instill trust in your constituents, show up with a Captain America shield.
Lan Diep proudly wore a Captain America shield on his arm while taking the oath of office this week.
Dan Liep says there's "no metaphor."
“Except that it represents America’s ideals and I do hope to aspire to those ideals of fair play, equal justice, and democracy during my term,” Diep said. “But really, I just had this awesome shield and I wanted a chance to show it off.”
So wear that shield. Your constituents will either love you or think you don't take this job seriously at all. One or the other!

Thanks, Universe: Trump Got the Date Wrong on His Inauguration Photo, and, Get This, People Are Making Fun Of Him About It
That reality-TV gameshow host who is now our president, Donald Trump recently tweeted the framed inauguration picture he hangs in his office. It's got a fancy frame, an autograph from photographer Abbas Shirmohammadi, the wrong date, and the website that framed it with a gigantic WWW.
Wait, did you say "wrong date"? Yup, as everyone knows, Trump's inauguration happened on National Day of Patriotic Devotion, which as everyone knows is January 20. National Day of Patriotic Devotion happens on the same day every year. If you didn't know that, it's because it's a new holiday Trump invented for his inauguration.
However, Trump's new plaque says January 21, which, hilariously, is the day of the Women's March that far more people were at. Universe, you've done it again.
Check out people pointing the president's mistake.

Genius Rubbernecker Asks "What's The Worst That Can Happen" Right Before a Flaming Car Explodes
"I don't know the car could explode?"
Men always listen to your passengers, whether you're too proud to ask for directions or you're driving past a flaming wreckage.
This video comes straight out of Charlotte, NC, where a rubbernecker and his family drove past a car fire. Slowing down to see what's happening, the driver's female passenger asks to move away from the car. Why? Because it might explode. Then it does.
Keep driving.
