In honor of NATIONAL COFFEE DAY on September 29th, Dunkin’ Donuts and CareerBuilder teamed up to identify the PROFESSIONS THAT REQUIRE THE MOST COFFEE.

They asked over 3,600 office workers about their coffee-drinking habits, and found that 32% of office workers require a cup of coffee to get through the workday. 43% said that they are less productive without their morning Joe. Web Watch figures this is why the majority of offices offer their staff free coffee — it’s a small cost to pay for happy workers.

Vanilla Extract

TODAY WE FOUND OUT is a website that allows you to submit exactly that – things that you just found out about something.

There are a few rules to what you submit, such as “factually accurate”, “not based on entirely on Wikipedia”, and the common “give credit to your sources” items — but if you truly did learn something interesting today, why not take the opportunity to write about what you now know?

Early Puberty in Girls: The Essential Guide to Coping with This Common Problem

The news has been filled with all sorts of reasons and explanations for why young girls are entering puberty at younger and younger ages these days.

CNN reported that “Early development in girls has been linked with poor self-esteem, eating disorders, and depression, as well as cigarette and alcohol use and earlier sexual activity,” with other news reports stating that girls are entering puberty before they reach the ages of 9 or 10. Sometimes, puberty can be triggered from an injury or a brain tumor that kickstarts the body’s processing.

Buy some Laffy Taffy

Web Watch is not beyond sharing a good joke or pun once in a while. Heck, we enjoy sharing BAD jokes and puns even more.

But we don’t eat Laffy Taffy, so we didn’t know the joy that the jokes written on the inside of the Laffy Taffy wrappers could bring so much joy to so many people of all ages.

That is, until WE STUMBLED UPON WHAT FOX NEWS IS CALLING THE WORST LAFFY TAFFY JOKE EVER WRITTEN.

Rude Food: The Collected Food Writings of Vir Sanghvi

Because inside every one of us is an eight-year-old kid who like to laugh at fart noices, sometimes just reading a menu or wandering an ethnic grocery store can make you laugh.

Whether it be the PEE COLA or SPOTTED DICK, foods from other countries may taste perfectly fine… but the names of the products will just make you laugh out loud.

Weber’s Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling

Web Watch knows that there’s nothing that tastes better than some meat cooked fresh on the grill.

And when it’s football season, you have to have a grill to really do the tailgate up right. Web Watch even won a Weber Grill a few years ago in a football tailgating cookoff contest with our grilled steak sandwich with carmelized onions. One of the judges even came back to our setup and took an extra sandwich with them “for the road” when the competition was over.

So we have that going for us.

Which brings us back to today’s point – that when it comes to tailgating and grilling, nobody knows their stuff better than the folks over at Weber.

Which is why every year Weber releases their own WEBER TAILGATING STUDY, a look at the tailgating habits that we should expect to see this upcoming football season.

Want to make a difference? Try giving panhandlers a Visa or Amex gift card

Tell Them Who I Am

Homeless and begging on the street is not a way to go through life. But sadly, there are millions of people who – for whatever reason – find themselves having to do so.

Some do so willingly, as it is a better way of life than the one they left behind. Others do it because they have no other choice, and they struggle to scrape enough together to have a meal, a toothbrush, some occasional clean clothes.

One reporter decided to see what the homeless really wanted, if money was seemingly no object. So they GAVE THE HOMELESS VISA and AMERICAN EXPRESS GIFT CARDS with fixed dollar amounts to spend. The plan was to offer the gift cards to any panhandler who asked for money, but the promise was to go out any buy only what you need, but to return the card to the reporter within 30 minutes.
