Super Bowl commercials, the science of kissing, and the rise of US-style fried chicken in Britain were among the diverse topics making headlines recently. From the high cost of Super Bowl advertising to the physiological aspects of a kiss, and the changing landscape of British takeaways, several stories captured public attention.
The upcoming Super Bowl is expected to feature a variety of commercials, including those with political and social messages. A 30-second spot during the game costs between $8 to $10 million, according to Fox News. Americans are expected to spend less on Super Bowl-related activities this year, approximately $129 per person, compared to previous years.
Meanwhile, the simple act of kissing was also in the spotlight. Certified sex therapist Chamin Ajjan explained that a kiss can play a powerful role in a relationship, helping to gauge attraction and assess compatibility. "What a good kiss is really about is you and your partner doing the same dance to the same tune," she said, as reported by CBS News. Kissing allows individuals to assess pheromones and get a sense of a person's immune system.
Across the Atlantic, the UK is experiencing a surge in US-style fried chicken shops. This trend, fueled by online videos and social media, is transforming the British High Street, with chicken shops opening at a faster rate than other fast-food outlets, according to BBC Business. Nursing student Sumayyah Zara Sillah, a fan of the trend, noted, "I try to be healthy, but I like it so much."
In other news, peptide therapy has gained popularity as a potential health and longevity booster. However, experts are warning of cautions and limitations, according to Fox News. Peptides are short chains of amino acids involved in processes like metabolism, growth, and immune function. Some peptides have shown potential in helping with skin health, metabolism, muscle recovery, and immunity, although research is limited.
Finally, an excerpt from "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback" by Seth Wickersham, was also released. The book details the life of a quarterback and includes a description of a Northwest Montana ranch.
