Lorenzo Cain's Stolen Base Means You Can Get a Free A.M. Crunchwrap from Taco Bell

Speaking of Taco Bell, thanks to Kansas City Royal Lorenzo Cain, America has been invited to get a free A.M. Crunchwrap from Taco Bell on Thursday, November 5. Cain, who stole second during the sixth inning of Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Mets, activated Taco Bell's collaboration with Major League Baseball, "Steal a Base, Steal a Breakfast" — valid the rest of the series. In Taco Bell's words, in Game 1, "Lorenzo Cain stole a base. But really, he stole A.M. Crunchwraps for all of America." Even if you're not a Royals fan, you have to admit Cain did you a solid.

Even Wild Pigs Wash Their Food, Scientists Find

The term "eating like a pig" may need reevaluation. After Switzerland's Basel Zoo observed wild boars washing apples in a stream before eating, researchers conducted follow-up experiments and confirmed the boars carry sand-covered apple halves to a creek where they pushed them to and fro with their snouts before eating. Clean apple halves were never washed. This suggests pigs understand the difference between clean and dirty foods, and the use of water to clean them.
