Burning Question: Does Soymilk Need Refrigeration or Not?
Soy milk, once opened, requires refrigeration and should be consumed within five days. Prior to being opened, however, soy milk actually doesn't require chilling, and has an unrefrigerated shelf life of at least one year.

Rachael Ray a Terrorist?
Dunkin Donuts has pulled an advertisement featuring Rachael Ray because some people believe she is wearing what could be construed as a terrorist symbol. Apparently, the black and white scarf she wears in the ad resembles a traditional headdress, known as a keffiyeh, worn by Arab men.

Cut the Cost: Use Petals Instead of Flowers
A great way to reduce the cost of flowers at a party is to use day-old rose petals instead of fresh-cut roses.
