Every day people head to the grocery store to buy their favorite foods blissfully unaware that they're being sold a bunch of mislabeled lies.

They're told the wine they purchase is aged in oak caskets when some wineries are simply adding wood chips and shavings to the wine, which is actually being made in steel vats to cut costs.

Even worse- winemakers are adding a substance called "Mega Purple" to their wines, and Mega Purple is basically just concentrated grape juice.

It's a grape concentrate, or slurry, which big wine labels add to underwhelming red wine to intensify the flavor and color and sometimes even to mask spoilage. It's estimated that over 25 million bottles get spiked with Mega Purple on a yearly basis. Many wineries rely so heavily on it that they have their own reverse-osmosis machines which let them make their own concentrates by extracting the alcohol from their s#%tty wines to pump up slightly less s#%tty wine. Yummy.

There is still plenty of real wine made the old fashioned way available at your local grocery store, but the fish they're selling is nothing but a big flippin' lie- because most of it is intentionally mislabeled.

Here's a chart that shows what you're actually getting when you buy fish at the grocery store:

Winston Churchill is one of those historical figures who had a long list of accomplishments over decades yet is mostly known for just one specific time period, and Winston's time will forever be World War II.

But prior to the World Wars Churchill was already on the road to becoming a larger-than-life figure, having escaped from a Boer prison camp in South Africa in 1899:

After graduating from Sandhurst, Churchill took leave from the army and traveled to Cuba, where he reported on an uprising for a London newspaper. He subsequently served as a war correspondent and military officer, a dual role then permitted, in India, Sudan and South Africa. Upon arriving in South Africa in 1899, his armored train was ambushed by Boers, the descendants of Dutch settlers who were fighting the British at the time. Churchill was captured and marched to a prison camp, which he soon escaped from by scaling a wall at night, even as two of his fellow prisoners turned back. With no precise plan, Churchill luckily stumbled upon the house of a British coal mine manager, who hid him in a mineshaft for three days and then sent him on a wool-filled rail truck into Mozambique. From there, Churchill caught a ship back to South Africa and rushed to the front a newfound hero.

However, Winston's star almost fell instead of rising when he organized an amphibious assault during World War I that failed spectacularly:

Churchill’s political career began in 1900 when he was elected to Parliament, a position he would hold for more than 60 years. He secured his first cabinet post in 1908, and by 1911 had advanced to become First Lord of the Admiralty (the British equivalent of U.S. Secretary of the Navy). In this capacity, he prepared an amphibious assault during World War I against the crumbling Ottoman Empire. Churchill believed such action would allow the British to link up with their Russian allies, put added pressure on Germany’s eastern front and possibly even tip the balance of the entire conflict. But when Allied battleships entered the Dardanelles strait, located near present-day Istanbul, in March 1915, Ottoman fire sank three of them, severely damaged three others and sent the remainder into retreat. Allied troops similarly failed to gain ground during months of fighting on the adjacent Gallipoli Peninsula, suffering over 250,000 casualties in the process. Although Churchill lost his admiralty post as a result of the failure, he was eventually able to rehabilitate his reputation.

Pigs will eat practically any type of food you put in their trough, and even though vegans hate to hear this pigs will even eat pork, or any kind of meat for that matter, without hesitation or a second thought.

That's why pigs don't make very good shopping partners when you're heading to the grocery store, and if you don't hook them up with snacks the whole time they're in the store they will start to squeal.

But Priscilla and Poppleton aren't your average porcine shoppers, and when their human takes them to the store along with their two piggy partners and Pigtail the pug they stay on their best behavior- even though that food smells really good.

Priscilla, Poppleton and Pigtail do all kinds of stuff together, like riding around in a wagon and hanging out by the swimming pool, and the quartet plus one will even take a bath together when they start to smell a bit ripe.

Chicken Thief by trheewood

Link had been known to toss a cucco or two in his time, and he'd even tossed or kicked a few cuccos when he was feeling frustrated, but overall Link was a friend to the cuccos and didn't want to see them come to any harm. So when a guy calling himself The Colonel started opening his Lorule Fried Cucco restaurants all over Hyrule Link knew those poor little birds were in trouble. Now Link had never really thought of himself as an animal rights activist before, and he enjoyed spit roasted meat from time to time, but there was something about that look in The Colonel's eye that showed he was enjoying the killing of cuccos just a little too much for it to be strictly business...

In fact, Alice would have enjoyed her trip knowing she had unlimited lives and continues!

Watching people paint in real time can literally feel like watching paint dry, but watching an artist work on an incredibly detailed and beautiful painting in time lapse can be quite thrilling and inspirational.

This is especially true if the subject is something near and dear to your heart, and seeing as how I was born in the year of the dragon and I'm a huge fantasy nerd watching artist Chris Scalf paint this awesome portrait of a dragon really blew me away!

Orcs are fearsome and savage creatures in their own right, green-skinned killing machines from a primordial era when humans did not yet rule the Earth, but imagine how much scarier they'd be if they were on meth.

Now I'm pretty sure most meth dealers know better than to sell speed to a savage orc, but a foolish drug peddler hooked Treshtog up with some meth and now it's all he can think about.

And then the dung really hit the fan when Treshtog discovered some thieving scumbag stole his meth and smoked it... (NSFW language)

METH ORCS is a stupid funny animated short created by SexualLobster, an animator who is clearly quite wise since he came up with this quote for the ages- "wizards of quality don't smoke meth".

Seeing snow fall for the first time generally blows a child's mind, and adults who have never seen flakes of snow fall from the sky are often quite tripped out by the experience as well.

However, no human can ever know how mind blowing it must be for a puppy to see snow fall for the first time, nor will we ever experience the pleasure of leaping into the air and snapping at snowflakes with our maws.

But watching this video of a 4-month-old English Springer Spaniel from Wales leaping around catching snowflakes in mid-air will give you some idea of how amazing snowfall seems to a tiny puppy's brain!

The Cat in the Hutt by Kenny Durkin

The Cat in the Hat had always been an imaginative fellow, and he had always enjoyed letting his mind wander into whichever book he's reading or TV show he's watching, but when he was introduced to a series of sci-fi movies about a war in the stars he found himself quite lost and unable to escape his imagination. The worlds were so realistic and so vibrant that he could see it all as clear as if he were there, and then when the characters started speaking to him he realized he really was there, on some planet far, far away called Tatooine. This revelation thrilled him to the bone- until a blaster was thrust into his back and The Cat in the Hat was forced to face a giant hungry space slug named Jabba...

Murderers rarely confess to their crimes before being questioned by police or arrested, but killers who suddenly find they have a conscience, or feel like gloating about their crime, have started using social media like a confessional.

Derek Medina would become known as the Facebook Killer after he murdered his wife and uploaded pics of her corpse to Facebook back in 2013, using Facebook to confess what he'd done to his family and friends before turning himself in to the police:

“I had an argument with my wife and she was hitting me.  She always hits me all the time. I got tired of her hitting me so I shot her,” he said. When officers tried to get dispatchers to send fire rescue to the couple’s house, Medina then said – “oh she’s dead. I know she’s dead because I emptied my 380 in her. Five shots.”

Randy Janzen of British Columbia used Facebook as a confessional in a similar fashion after killing his wife, daughter and sister, but his confession didn't lead to an arrest- because Randy killed himself after setting his house ablaze.

Randy's reason for killing was just as bizarre as his emoji-filled Facebook confession- he didn't want his daughter to suffer with debilitating migraines so he shot her.

He then shot his wife so she wouldn't have to "hear the news her baby has died", and a few days later he killed his sister because "I did not want her to have to live with this shame I have caused all alone. Now my family is pain free (sic) and in heaven.”

There's no telling how long it would have taken police to show up at his house and discover the bodies had he not posted the confession above on Facebook, but when they showed up the house went up in flames, leaving them unable to enter for three days.

Back in the day getaway drivers had very few employment options available to them when they retired, but thanks to ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft the Drive driver can now transition into a new career!

However, as this parody video created by Joey Thompson (who bears a striking resemblance to Ryan Gosling) shows- the Drive driver's new job as an Uber driver isn't nearly as exciting as his old gig, but at least he got to keep the cool jacket!

March is a month full of madness, Pi, saints and storms, and it's also the gateway to spring when the daffodils start to bloom.

The Ides of March brought misfortune to Julius Caesar and March was named after the Roman war god Martius, aka Mars, but overall March seems like a pretty boring month compared to most of its calendar cousins.

However, these facts show there's more to March than I thought!:

1. March is named after Mars, the Roman god of war as it was the month in which the military campaigning season got under way after winter.

2. In Old English one name for the month of March was “Hlyda” meaning “loud” possibly because of the roaring March winds.

3. March is the only month with three consecutive consonants in its name in English.

4. An old proverb says that “March comes in a like a lion and goes out like a lamb”, which means that winter is ending and spring is beginning.

5. In ancient Rome before Julius Caesar’s calendar reform, March was the first month of the year.

6. The expression “mad as a March hare” dates back to 1529. It refers to the wild behaviour of male hares during the mating season in March.

7. Fredric March twice won an Oscar for Best Actor. Main Street On The March (1941) and March Of The Penguins (2005) also won Oscars.

8. MARCH is an acronym for the Medically Aware and Responsible Citizens of Hyderabad.

9. The birthstone for March is aquamarine and the flowers are the daffodil or violet.

10. More 20th century UK Prime Ministers had birthdays in March than any other month

If you can speak the language of food then you can communicate with people from other cultures better than any language ever could, because all humans enjoy sitting down to a good meal.

Food slides right past our tongues and speaks to our very souls, and when someone prepares a special meal for you they're sharing the flavors of their culture, life story and family heritage with you- and no words need to be spoken to enjoy each other's company.

Cartoonist and installation artist Shing Yin Khor learned the language of food from her grandmother, who also taught her that preparing food is a marvelous way to express your love when you have trouble saying it aloud.

Shing paid homage to her grandmother with this wonderfully honest autobiographical comic strip, telling the story of how food became an important part of her life- and how her relationship with food became complicated.

Rick is usually too drunk to remember all the stupid things he has agreed to do, so when a strange double bandolier speedo thingy, a revolver and a ponytail wig showed up in the mail he assumed his drunk mind had struck again. Rick slipped on the suit and boots and slipped the straps on, then he pulled the gun and mustered up his best badass sci-fi hero face as he gazed at his new look in the mirror. "Hey Morty, this *braaaap* new stupid sexy shooter guy suit ain't so bad, kinda brings out my macho side..." Rick trailed off as a portal opened up next to him and Morty, dressed like some kind of stupid sci-fi character with Egyptian influences, grabbed him and pulled him in...
