🛻 Will Tesla’s Cybertruck live up to the hype?

Tesla's Cybertruck is finally out, after delays and a price hike. Will it live up to the hype it generated back in 2019?

🛻 WaPo: Tesla's Cybertruck, an electric vehicle that has ignited polarized opinions since its 2019 debut, is finally out.

🛻 Wired says a lot rides on the truck’s success: Preorder numbers show that demand is high, but if the truck doesn't meet the hype, it could doom Tesla.

🛻 Top Gear took the truck for a spin, and wrote that it drives a little weird, but it is really unique. Tesla fans will probably love it.

🛻 But Bloomberg isn’t sure: The biggest Elon fans will love the car, but it probably won't charm everyone else — this was Elon’s vanity project, after all.

🛻 On the other hand, The Atlantic says everyone can stand to gain from the Cybertruck's success: Bizarrely-shaped EVs may be the future!

🍬 Can Warheads candy reduce anxiety?

Some TikTokers are saying that sour Warheads candy are a hack for stopping panic attacks.

🍬 Some TikTokers suggest eating ultra-sour Warheads candy to curb panic attacks, and therapists are on board. It seems to help people ground themselves.

🍬 @taylor.talking sings the praises of this life hack: It's a sure-fire way to nip panic attacks in the bud.

🍬 PopSugar says it's not for everyone, though: Some people won't find the intense sour sensation distracting enough to reduce anxiety.

🍬 And Health.com says the Warheads solution is just a band-aid. For long-term improvement, you need help from professionals.
