• Sweet potato fries are the healthy person’s french fries (albeit not-so-healthy), so it only makes sense that McDonald’s — in their (maybe futile) quest to get in on the healthy-eating market — is testing them at some of their Create Your Taste locations. [Huffington Post]
• Get ready to feel lazy: This guy ran 1,500 miles (!!) to deliver a blanket to Ellen Degeneres. Fifteen-hundred miles, people! [Runner’s World]
• Your mind is about to be blown: Did you know that red bell peppers are just ripe green bell peppers? My jaw is on the floor. [Slate]
