TSA Approved Ranch for World Cup Tourists

0:03 Caalaroga Shock Media. There are Shining Mack with five good news stories. The World Cup is coming to an end. I've loved every second of it. I've been watching so many games, and a lot of Europeans came to the States and really enjoyed. Our traditions are big stadiums and apparently ranch dressing. Well. I have bad news for the Europeans, I guess. So maybe this isn't a good news story, but it's a fun one. The Transportation Security Administration aka the TSA has an important message for fans heading home after the World Cup. If you fell in love with ranch packet and your checked luggage, that's right. The TSA posted, ranch is the king of condiments, and they noted that it pairs with everything from pizza and chicken wings to fries, chips, vegetables, and more. However, they warn travelers airport security rules still apply.

0:55 Any container of ranch dressing larger than three point four ounces cannot be carried through security checkpoints. Travelers will need to place larger bottles in check baggage, surrender them at security, or, as the TSA suggested, avoid trying to drink the ranch before boarding. Now Kraft Nosha guys love the ranch. They have made special travel friendly kits featuring individual ranch packets packed inside a TSA compliant clear bag. The company said some visitors leave with souvenirs, others leave with America's favorite dressing. Meanwhile, a cat in Ireland had become one of the hottest predictors of the World Cup. Billy predicted the winner of the first nineteen matches that hadn't ended in a draw.

1:39 Billy's human friends came up with the idea by placing two national flags in front of Billy before each match. Billy then made a selection with his paw, and somehow the cat kept getting it right. Now, I'm going to guess, perhaps possibly maybe that they filmed both versions and only released the correct one. Anyway, Billy the cat predicted wins by the US, England, France, Germany, Pan Argentina and several other nations. One of Billy's humans friends says, as a cat, he doesn't seem to be bothered that he's an online influencer. To us, He's still our cat, Still Billy. There have been problems. Billy's human friends said there was one incident where the whole thing was interrupted because there was a fly in the house and he couldn't concentrate. Congratulations to a skateboarder who crossed the United States of America coast to coast in just thirty nine days. Chad rolled up into Jacksonville, Florida, after traveling more than three thousand miles from Venice Beach, California. It took thirty nine days, an incredible seventy two miles a day on a skateboard. He broke the record. The record he broke was his own.

2:37 He shaved more than two weeks off his previous time. That's no joke. Chad explained that the trek marked ten years of sobriety. Skateboarding was the thing that kept me out of trouble. I did it my whole life. I was obsessed with it. I got injured and I ended up quitting. Brought it back and everything turned out better. Here's an unexpected health tip from scientist. If you just had a salad, a piece of bubblegum might actually help your heart. Researchers have found that chewing sugary gum after consuming nitrate rich vegetables can boost the body's ability to produce nitric oxide, a compound that helps improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. The study focused on vegetables such as spinach, kale, and beats. You know, the kind of stuff you might throw in a salad there. Those contain high levels of nitrates. Nitrates are good for cardiovascular health. However, before the body can benefit, bacteria in the month have to help convert them into nitric oxide. Researchers wondered could chewing gum help enhance that process. To find out, participants drength beetroot juice and then chewed sugary bubblegum or a sugar free alternative for several hours. The researchers found the sugary gum increased levels of nitrate in the mouth by about forty five percent. So I guess you could say four out of five scientists prefer sugary gum. All right, Congratulations to Jonathan the giant tortoise. Jonathan has officially extended his title as the world's oldest living land animal. Nathan the tortoise is one hundred and ninety four. You'll find Jonathan on Saint Helena, a British territory thousands of miles

4:07 from any continent. Jonathan arrived there in eighteen eighty two, already fully grown. Based on records and photographs, experts estimate he was born no later than eighteen thirty two.
