Here’s How to Get That Campfire Smell Out of Your Clothes

There’s nothing like a night around the campfire—roasting marshmallows, swapping stories, maybe dodging a raccoon or two. But the one thing no one wants to bring home from the woods? That smoky, lingering campfire smell that clings to your clothes like it has squatters’ rights.

Luckily, there are a few simple tricks you can use to evict that stubborn scent and freshen up your wardrobe. Here are five proven ways to get your clothes back to their pre-s’mores glory:

1. Air Them Out

Before you panic and toss everything in the wash, try the old-fashioned approach: hang your clothes outside in the sun and wind. Fresh air and UV rays can help break down odor molecules naturally. Let ’em flap in the breeze for a few hours and see what a difference it makes.

2. Wash With Warm Water

Heat helps loosen the fabric fibers and allows trapped odor particles to escape. Just make sure to check the care label on your clothes first—some items prefer cooler temps.

3. Add Baking Soda

This pantry staple is a deodorizing powerhouse. Toss about half a cup into your washing machine along with your usual detergent. Baking soda works to neutralize smells instead of just covering them up.

4. Try Activated Charcoal

Not just for your teeth or your fridge—activated charcoal can absorb smells like a champ. Seal your smoky clothes in a bag with a few charcoal briquettes (or charcoal odor absorber packets) and leave it overnight. Don’t worry—it won’t leave a charcoal smell behind.

5. Lemon Juice Spray

Mix one part lemon juice with six parts water in a spray bottle. Lightly spritz your clothes inside and out, and let them dry completely. It’s like natural Febreze—with the added bonus of smelling like you just cleaned your kitchen.

Bonus Tip: Prevention

Next time, try wearing a designated “campfire hoodie” you don’t mind getting a little smoky. Or better yet, change into fresh clothes before bed and seal the smoky ones in a bag until you can wash them.

Jelly Roll Says His Wife’s Not a Gold Digger, He Is

A throwback clip from “The Joe Rogan Experience” is making waves again—and this time, it’s Jelly Roll setting the record straight about his relationship with wife Bunnie XO.

For anyone spreading rumors that Bunnie was only in it for the money, the country star had a blunt (and kind of amazing) reality check.

In the clip, Jelly Roll says, “My wife was a high-end escort her whole life. That’s what she did when I met her. I was broke. I was living in a 1996 van. And this woman had like two condos, and a few sports cars… She was never the gold digger. I was.”

Internet, take notes.

This moment originally aired on Rogan’s podcast some time ago, but fans have recently rediscovered it, sharing the clip all over. It’s resonating with viewers who appreciate how candid Jelly Roll is—and how quick he is to praise his wife’s independence.

The couple has become one of the most talked-about love stories in country music—not just for their unfiltered personalities, but for how openly they discuss the ups and downs of their past. Jelly has credited Bunnie with helping him turn his life around, and the internet clearly can’t get enough of their ride-or-die vibe.

Which NFL Team’s Fans Drink the Most on Game Day?

If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, these fans seem a little rowdy,” you might be onto something. A new survey of over 3,000 football fans has revealed which NFL teams have the thirstiest fanbases—and it turns out some people treat Sunday like it’s Thirsty Thursday.

According to the survey, Arizona Cardinals fans top the list when it comes to game day drinking. Nearly 19% of Cardinals fans admit to having five or more drinks while watching the game, which definitely puts the “wild” in Wild Card Weekend.

Buffalo Bills fans came in second (maybe it’s all that table-smashing energy they need to fuel), followed by supporters of the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans, Washington Commanders, LA Chargers, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonville Jaguars.

On the flip side, the most sober-curious fanbase seems to be in Green Bay. Only 3% of Packers fans hit the five-drink mark, which might be because they’re already full on cheese curds.

Seahawks fans in Seattle came in second for least likely to binge, followed by the Steelers, Dolphins, Patriots, Chiefs, Bears, Colts, Lions, and Jets.

The Cleveland Browns landed right in the middle at 20th place, which might surprise some people given the team’s historically, uh, challenging seasons. Maybe Browns fans are just emotionally numb at this point, or maybe they’ve learned to pace themselves after so many heartbreaks.

The findings come from a survey by Action Network and shed a little light on how different fanbases cope with the highs and lows of their teams. Whether it’s celebrating a win or drowning a loss, NFL Sundays clearly come with a few rounds.

So if you’re heading to a tailgate this fall, maybe keep an eye on the Cardinals fans. And if you’re watching with someone from Green Bay, just bring extra cheese—they’re probably good on beer.

Spinal Tap’s Legendary “11-Pack” Collectible Already Sold Out

If you were hoping to snag one of the coolest movie tie-in collectibles of the year, you’re too late. Liquid Death just released a limited run of This Is Spinal Tap-inspired 11-packs of Still Mountain Water, each case autographed by all three members of the band. The price tag? A very rock-and-roll $1,100.

The nod to Spinal Tap’s most famous scene — the “these go to 11” guitar amp moment — made this an instant must-have for hardcore fans. And sure enough, the packs sold out almost immediately.

The listing is still live on Liquid Death’s site, complete with a “Notify Me When Available” button, though there’s no official word on whether more will ever be restocked. Translation: unless you got lucky, you’ll be watching from the sidelines while someone else brags about having an eleven-pack in their fridge.

The timing of the drop couldn’t be better. Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues hits theaters this Friday, reigniting interest in the cult-favorite mockumentary and its gloriously clueless rockers. For longtime fans, the $1,100 price might have felt steep, but given how quickly they vanished, it’s clear the market for Tap memorabilia still cranks all the way past ten.

So, if you see one of those 11-packs pop up on eBay, brace yourself. The resale price will almost certainly be cranked higher than Nigel Tufnel’s amp.

Nate Bargatze Is Putting Emmy Winners on the Clock With a Charity Twist

The Emmys are happening this Sunday, and host Nate Bargatze has come up with a clever way to keep those acceptance speeches from dragging on forever. Instead of relying on the orchestra to play people off, he’s turning time limits into cold, hard cash for a good cause.

Here’s the deal: every winner gets 45 seconds to say their thank-yous. After the show, Bargatze will donate $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Club. But if winners go over their allotted time, every second costs the kids a thousand bucks. Yes, you heard that right — $1,000 per second. Suddenly, thanking your third-grade drama teacher doesn’t seem so urgent.

It’s not all bad news for the charity, though. If someone wraps up early, Nate will actually add $1,000 to the donation for each second they leave on the clock. So theoretically, if enough winners keep it short and sweet, the Boys & Girls Club could walk away with more than the original $100,000.

To make things even more awkward, they joked that kids from the Boys & Girls Club will actually be at the ceremony, ready to look winners in the eye if their rambling cuts into the charity check.

Bargatze put it bluntly: “They’re gonna come out. You’re gonna have to look them in the face. It’s real, real.”

Of course, Nate admits he feels a little guilty about the setup, since he knows how much work nominees put into getting to the Emmys. Still, he insists that’s the plan, and he’s sticking to it.

This move is classic Bargatze, blending deadpan comedy with a little social experiment. Acceptance speeches are notorious for running long, and every year someone goes viral for either getting cut off or ignoring the music altogether. His “cash clock” idea could be just the motivation winners need to speed things up — or the reason we all see a tearful actor apologizing to children while the timer ticks away.

Either way, Sunday night just got a lot more interesting. And for once, viewers might actually be rooting against long speeches. After all, every second counts when kids’ charity money is on the line.

Top 10 Fall Activities Everyone Loves

Fall is one of the most celebrated seasons of the year, bringing cooler air, vibrant leaves, and a mix of cozy and festive traditions. It’s the time when people trade swimsuits for sweaters, and enjoy activities that only come once a year. From family-friendly outings to spooky adventures, here are the top ten most popular fall activities ranked by what people love the most.

Visiting pumpkin patches and carving pumpkins

A seasonal staple where you can gather a basket of crisp apples, often paired with cider and donuts on-site.
Exploring corn mazes
These giant puzzles bring out everyone’s adventurous side and are a family favorite in October.

Did Elon Musk Lose the Title of World’s Richest Person?

The battle of the billionaires is getting confusing, depending on which financial scoreboard you’re looking at. According to Bloomberg, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison just leapfrogged Elon Musk to claim the title of the world’s richest person. They estimated Ellison’s fortune at a staggering $393 billion, while Musk’s sat slightly behind at $385 billion.

But wait—Forbes isn’t buying it. Their real-time billionaires list still has Musk comfortably in first place, pegging his net worth at around $439 billion. In their tally, Ellison doesn’t come close to knocking him off the top spot.

So who’s right?

The short answer is that billionaire rankings can change depending on how you calculate wealth. Bloomberg and Forbes use different methods, tracking fluctuating stock prices, private holdings, and other assets in real time. Since so much of Musk’s wealth is tied to Tesla stock, even small changes on Wall Street can cause his net worth to bounce up or down by billions in a single day. Ellison’s fortune, meanwhile, is more tied to Oracle’s steady climb in value.

By the end of the day yesterday, Bloomberg’s real-time list had Musk back on top, with Ellison settling at $383 billion.

The takeaway?

Both Ellison and Musk are still living in a financial stratosphere that the rest of us can’t even see with binoculars. Whether Musk is worth $385 billion or $439 billion, he’s not exactly clipping coupons. And Ellison, who’s been quietly stacking his fortune for decades, is suddenly in the spotlight as Silicon Valley’s heir apparent—at least according to one scoreboard.

“Pumpkin Spice” Google Searches Hit an All-Time High

Pumpkin spice is no longer just a flavor, it’s a full-blown personality – and apparently, it’s got rizz.

Google Trends revealed that searches for “pumpkin spice” hit an all-time high in 2025. That’s right. Not in 2015. Not when the PSL first dropped over 20 years ago. Now. This stuff is somehow still getting more popular. Or, we’ve at least got more reasons to google it.

The PSL hype always ramps up in September, but people aren’t just looking for coffee anymore. In the pumpkin-spice-packed world we now find ourselves in, it’s like a full-blown pumpkin spice treasure hunt.

Google says “pumpkin spice near me” hit an all-time high in 2025, with Florida and New Mexico leading the charge on that one. Makes sense if you think about it. No fall foliage? No problem. Just drown everything in cinnamon-nutmeg fog.

Google also looked at the top trending pumpkin spice products people have been searching for ahead of fall, and you need none of these. But if you want all of them, you’re far from alone.

Top Five Pumpkin Spice Products

Pumpkin spice floor cleaner. So even the soles of your shoes can smell like it.
Pumpkin spice toilet paper. Hopefully, houseguests won’t have to google “pumpkin spice allergy a**hole.”
Pumpkin spice trash bags. Is it acceptable to eat garbage when it smells this good?
Pumpkin spice lotion. You want your whole body to smell like a Starbucks in late Autumn? That’s your business.
Pumpkin spice brooms. Do you really need to sweep and mop with the stuff?

Top Five Pumpkin Spice Fashion Items

Pumpkin spice pajamas. Just imagine how autumnal your night terrors will be.
Pumpkin spice sweatshirts. You love it so much, and the world needs to know.
Pumpkin spice shirts. So you can still broadcast that PSL love come springtime.
Pumpkin spice purses. You’ve officially hit “PSL is my identity” territory.
Pumpkin spice underwear. Hey… you do you.

The fun thing about that last one is you’re really shopping for one of three things: skivvies that say “PSL,” smell like a PSL, or taste like a PSL – are we talkin’ edible pumpkin spice underwear? (You know you’re ride or die when you’ve incorporated pumpkin spice into your lovemaking.)

At this point, I’m not sure where we go next. Pumpkin spice inhalers? Pumpkin spice pepper spray? Will Pep Boys finally offer that PSL brake fluid we’ve been asking for?

How Many Americans Have Been Bitten or Stung By ____?

If you’ve ever been stung by these things, you already know that some hurt a little… and some make you want to draft a will on the spot.

A recent poll found the most painful sting of all is from a hornet. And honestly, no one’s surprised. Hornets aren’t just bugs… they’re flying anger issues with wings. 98% of people who’ve been stung by one said it hurt, and 61% said very painful. (The other 39% were probably still crying too hard to answer.)

Wasps came in a close second on the pain scale, followed by yellowjackets, fire ants, and jellyfish. Basically, if it has stripes or lives in the ocean, don’t touch it.

The survey also asked which bites and stings people have experienced… and the results are like a “who’s who” of things that can ruin your picnic:

Mosquito – 91% (a.k.a. the unpaid interns of Hell)
Bee – 75%
Wasp – 52%
Flea – 51%
Fire ant – 46%
Horse fly – 42%
Yellowjacket – 40%
Tick – 39% (nature’s clingiest ex)
Hornet – 30%
Lice – 23%
Bed bugs – 21%
Deerfly – 17%
Jellyfish – 15%
Snake – 6%
Stingray – 4%
Portuguese man o’ war – 3% (basically a jellyfish with a lawyer)

So yeah, mosquitoes may annoy the most people… but hornets are officially the heavyweight champs of pain.

Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G Are Rumored to Headline Coachella 2026

The desert may still be months away from lighting up, but the Coachella rumor mill is already in overdrive. According to “Rolling Stone”, Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G are expected to take two of the coveted headlining spots at Coachella 2026, leaving fans buzzing about who will snag the third.

The final headliner hasn’t been decided yet, but Dua Lipa and Kendrick Lamar are reportedly in the mix.

This wouldn’t be Sabrina Carpenter’s first Coachella rodeo. She hit the stage in 2024, though not as a headliner, while Karol G brought her reggaeton power to the festival back in 2022. Both have skyrocketed in popularity since then, making them strong contenders for top billing.

Coachella has a history of carefully timed announcements that keep fans on edge. Last year, the 2025 lineup dropped in November, but so far there’s no word on when this year’s reveal will happen.

What we do know: Coachella 2026 will once again sprawl across two weekends, April 10–12 and April 17–19, in Indio, California.

The buzz around Sabrina and Karol G speaks to a larger trend in the festival scene: fans want variety, and organizers are finally leaning into it. Pop, reggaeton, rap, EDM, and indie all share the same stages now, creating a lineup that can draw everyone from hardcore music nerds to casual TikTok scrollers who just want to scream-sing their favorite hooks.

And let’s be real, speculation is half the fun. Every year, the headliner guessing game sparks debates, wild wish lists, and Twitter wars long before a single wristband is scanned. This time, the excitement is only heating up earlier than usual.

So, whether you’re a Sabrina Carpenter stan ready to camp out at the front of the main stage, a Karol G fan ready to turn the desert into a reggaeton dance floor, or someone holding out hope that Dua or Kendrick seal the deal, Coachella 2026 is shaping up to be another unforgettable weekend in the sun.
