Since gambling was first legalized in Vegas, back in 1931… the city has been a non-stop show with millions of tourists flocking to the casinos, shows, and attractions yearly. Vegas has taken a different turn recently by adding more non-gambling attractions. Along with the glitz and glamour of the casinos, the city has evolved into a restaurant and entertainment mecca.

Novocain is a drug used by dentists to numb parts of the mouth when minor oral surgery is required. While it is supposed to cut out the pain, it can hurt a bit when being injected. Especially in my case when my dentist hit a nerve!
What: Novocain
Also referred to as: novocaine or Procaine
Uses: Dentistry
My experience was not fun. It was seriously like biting down on a live electrical wire. Ever stick your finger in an electric outlet as a kid? It’s pretty much the same sensation. I could feel every nerve ending on the side of my head! While it did numb the area quickly, I could still feel tingling for days.
Now, I do like my dentist and nothing like this has ever happened before. He told me the odds are about 1 in 100 of this happening. Hope I didn’t scare you too much!

Specialty hamburgers with black buns have been featured as promotional items at fast food restaurants overseas for years. The first, a Star Wars Darth Vador burger was sold by Quick restaurants in France in 2012. Burger King immediately followed the same year in Japan, with a Premium Kuro Burger (which means Black Burger in English.)
However, the Burger King Halloween Whopper marks the first time a black burger has appeared in the United States. Taco Bell did sell a blackjack, black colored taco shell, back in 2009.
Name: Halloween Whopper
Restaurant: Burger King
Price: $4.99 sandwich only (value meals start at $7.99)
Website: www.bk.com
It’s a fun, novelty item for Halloween. Give it a try. I also like the addition of the A-1 sauce, instead of ketchup on a traditional Whopper. A word or warning… the internet rumors are true. Not to be gross, but it does turn an interesting color coming out the other end! You’ll see!

First released in September 1989, these public service announcements replaced One to Grow On PSAs that originally targeted children and offered life lessons. The first PSA featured NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw, now each features a different NBC star or news personality. The PSA can still be seen throughout the broadcast network’s schedule. Both Presidents George W. Bush and Barak Obama have recorded their own versions as well.
Name: The More You Know
What: public service announcements for kids
Why: offers life lessons for children while watching television
Network: NBC
Link: www.themoreyouknow.com
These PSA’s are great and are often parodied on late night and comedy shows, but it’s cool to see A list stars stopping for a moment to make sure the viewer has a better life. Have any of these ever made a difference in yours?
You can find a list of every celebrity who ever recorded on of these here. How many do you remember?
