Facts, Just the Facts

The average yawn lasts about 6 seconds.
We yawn when tired, nervous, and bored. It might be one way the body regulates temperature, a reaction to carbon dioxide buildup in the blood, a way of stabilizing the pressure on our ear drums, all of these reasons, or none of them.
Meanwhile, cultures throughout history have entertained superstitions about yawning drastic enough to include high-profile concepts such as your soul and the devil.
Nonetheless, the ultimate biological purpose of a yawn continues to elude modern science

Snickers is the best-selling candy bar in the world.
First introduced in 1930 and named after a horse owned by the Mars family, the combination of peanut butter nougat, roasted peanuts and caramel covered with milk chocolate has proved nothing short of irresistible to candy lovers across the world.
Whether consumers eat it as-is, deep-fry it, microwave it into something like a sundae, or turn it into a fine-dining experience by using a fork, today this ubiquitous candy bar enjoys an unbeatable global annual sales in excess of $2 billion.

    Snickers is one of my favorites. I tried one deep fried at the MN State Fair once. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    I’m sure everyone knows about Snicker Bar salad. Slice up the candy bars, add apple slices and cool whip. Yum!

    Terri that was the problem you got it in MN. You should come down to the south aka the fried food capital of the world. It’s better here.
