Over the years, candy companies have created countless chocolate bars, some of which became iconic while others slowly disappeared from store shelves. Whether due to changing tastes, business decisions, or simply being ahead of their time, several beloved candy bars are now just a memory. Here’s a look at some long-forgotten candy bars that no longer exist.

A cruise vacation didn't go exactly as planned for Jason and Tammy Merritt when their luggage never showed up at their cabin on Carnival Magic. According to news reports, the incident resulted in a lifetime ban for another passenger and a complex legal situation.

Listen up, fellow Americans! I've learned the hard way that hospital billing is a minefield. My personal experiences have taught me one crucial lesson: NEVER pay a hospital bill without thorough scrutiny. I once received a mysterious bill during college that turned out to be for someone with my same name who had no insurance. Last year, they overcharged me $100 and even sent it to a collection agency after I spent hours on the phone challenging it.

For many, headaches are an all-too-familiar part of daily life. Whether it’s the dull throb of tension or the sharp pulse of a migraine, reaching for medication can feel like the only option. But what if relief could come from your plate instead of a pill bottle?

Hey everyone, let’s talk about this: If someone is riding your bumper, do you speed up or play it cool? Here’s my recent experience. I merged onto a winding road heading home (no-passing zones, obviously), and the car behind me was basically glued to my rearview. I gradually increased my speed from 55 to 65 mph over the first 5 miles, but they stayed dangerously close. When we hit the long, straight stretch? I pressed the gas pedal to the floor. Lost ’em temporarily, but then they started gaining speed again—only to pull into my neighbor’s driveway like nothing happened.

Gen X’ers swear they had Mad Max-level freedom as kids: biking miles alone, playing in woods until streetlights came on, and surviving on PB&Js packed in brown paper bags. But millennials/Zillennials side-eye this like, “Sure, Jan.” So—did 80s parents really not care, or is this just Hollywood romanticizing?

Bamboo seems like a zen, low-maintenance garden staple—until it takes over your yard, your neighbor’s yard. Most bamboo spreads via runners (rhizomes) that can grow 20+ feet underground per year. Even “clumping” varieties aren’t fully safe. Your cute bamboo patch today = a bamboo forest tomorrow.

Listen, sellers who overpaid in 2020-2022 and now think we’ll subsidize your mistake? Not happening. I saw your house listed at 400k in 2022–congratulations, you got conned by a well− meaning realtor. Now you’re asking 500k for the same avocado-green walls and outdated HVAC? That’s not a "principle" issue – that’s math.

Lunch meats are a convenient way to add protein to your meals, whether you’re making a sandwich, a wrap, or a salad. But not all deli meats are created equal. Many are high in sodium, preservatives, and unhealthy fats. Fortunately, there are healthier options that can fit into a balanced diet. Here’s a look at some of the healthiest lunch meats available.

I thought buying a home was the ultimate goal, the smart investment. But now? I feel completely stuck. I got approved for $400K, put down $100K, and still ended up with a nearly $3,000 monthly payment. At first, I told myself it was worth it—but the reality hit hard.

(MA) Meet Bebe, a tiny little pup who is ready to dive into your heart and pocket. This Tea Cup Yorkie is truly itty bitty weighing only 3 pounds! This sweet older pup has spent her whole life loved by a single owner, but sadly that person had to move into a nursing home that does not allow dogs. Therefore, through no fault of her own, Bebe entered Great Dog Rescue New England's care and has transitioned well into her foster home. That being said, she will be very happy when she can be the main lady in someone else's life again. Could she be looking for you?

Here’s the thing—healthy family dynamics can be super subtle, but they matter so much. It’s not just about the big gestures; it’s the little things that count. Do they celebrate your wins? Or do they brush them off and make you feel small?

I treated myself to a gel manicure at that new salon downtown (you know the one with the pink storefront) and I'm beyond frustrated with the results. The technician rushed through the entire service, filed my nails way too thin, and used excessive force removing my cuticles which left them bleeding!

As I entered my late 40s, I noticed more fine lines and midday fatigue. Determined to age gracefully, I researched anti-aging foods and revamped my diet. Now, I swear by these 7 staples: cruciferous veggies (hello, broccoli detox!), blueberries (antioxidant powerhouses), avocado (healthy fats for glowing skin), olive oil (heart-protective magic), salmon (Omega-3s to fight inflammation), nuts/seeds (vitamin E for cell repair), and raw honey (antibacterial and healing). After six months, my skin feels firmer, my energy lasts longer, and even my doctor noted lower inflammation markers! A friend recently asked if I’d “had work done” – nope, just smarter groceries.

I swear, zinnias are the easiest flowers ever. I’ve got them baking under the brutal LA sun for 8 hours a day, barely water them, and they just keep blooming like nothing happened. No shade, no stress, just endless flowers—perfect for someone like me who forgets to baby their plants.

The Young and the Restless spoilers suggest a major twist in the Aristotle Dumas mystery, one that could shake up Genoa City’s power players. This secretive billionaire has kept fans intrigued, especially since no one has seen his face.

When I bought my first house, I thought I was finally free—my own space, my own rules. Then I met the HOA. At first, it seemed harmless. A small monthly fee, some basic upkeep rules. No big deal, right? Wrong.

Recent US data reveals a concerning trend: the gap between housing prices and income continues to widen at an alarming rate. In 2023, the median home price hit $350K, while the median household income stands at just $78K. This disparity is eerily reminiscent of the conditions that preceded the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.

They’re not being elitist—they’re streamlining care for medical families!. When a patient’s family member is a nurse or doc, we add notes like "Daughter RN" to switch to medical speak. This saves hours during consultations!

Here’s the truth: Most people clap for a Maserati’s sleek design and prestige badges. Car guys? We’re just thinking, “Eww. Please stop.” 🚗💸 Regular folks don’t know the inside scoop—the same cheap plastic buttons, mediocre engines, and overhyped branding. It’s like wearing a designer suit with socks that peek out.

I've been crunching the numbers, and honestly, unless it’s a single-family home, I don’t see how buying makes financial sense in the Bay Area. Condos and townhomes come with insane HOA fees—some as high as $2,000 a month. That alone is more than a mortgage in most places. Add skyrocketing insurance costs, rising property taxes, and 7%+ interest rates, and you’re paying a fortune before even touching the principal.

When I first sent my daughter to a U.S. preschool, I was shocked—no writing lessons?! But her teacher explained: “Writing is a skill, but expressing ideas is the superpower.”

I just had the most frustrating interview experience yesterday. The hiring manager kept circling back to when I "plan to have children" throughout our conversation. As a 32-year-old woman, I thought we were past this in 2025!

A friend of mine just helped his mother secure a Section 8 apartment in a great neighborhood. The place is beautiful, but the upfront costs? Absolutely insane. The landlord required $15k upfront, including a broker fee, just to allow her to rent under Section 8.

DIY gardeners, listen up! Here’s a crucial tip that could save you MAJOR headaches…. Ever been digging in your yard and suddenly hit sand? STOP RIGHT THERE!. I learned this the hard way - that random patch of sand isn’t natural. It’s actually a warning sign that important cables are buried underneath!

If you rely on Section 8 or invest in rental properties, you’ll notice this. They’ve changed the way they calculate voucher amounts, and it could seriously impact renters and landlords.

If you had to choose, would you go for a single-family home in a high-growth area (likely no cash flow) or a duplex in a low-growth area (steady cash flow)?. I keep going back and forth. On one hand, appreciation could mean huge gains down the line. But on the other, cash flow keeps things stable, especially with high interest rates right now. The biggest concern with low-growth areas is tenant quality and rent consistency—will it be reliable? But then again, banking solely on appreciation feels risky too. Is there a smarter way to think about this? What would you pick if you were in my shoes?

A few years ago, my dad, 68, started sleeping 12+ hours daily. We joked about him “catching up on rest,” but his forgetfulness worsened. His doctor mentioned studies linking excessive sleep in older adults to higher dementia risks. While not a direct cause, it’s a potential red flag for brain changes.

When Tension Took Control… During a Pap Smear … 🤣. I went in for a routine pap smear, nervous as hell. The room was cold, the speculum felt like a foreign object, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Then, mid-exam, I felt this sudden urge to fart—nothing I could control. My face turned tomato red, the tech froze mid-procedure, and I heard her whisper to the nurse, “Did she eat beans for breakfast?”
