Dog, sick and tired of waiting in car, slams his paw on the horn(图1)

It will be a long time before America finally grants dogs the right to drive.

Until then, dogs will have to do what they can to keep themselves entertained. Take this pup, who was recently left alone in a parking lot in " target="_blank">Nanaimo, British Columbia(opens in a new tab), and slammed its paw on the car horn out of exhaustion. And then it kept it there. For a long time.

The video was captured by Joris Wiggers and posted on Facebook by Elizabeth Herman(opens in a new tab). It's not entirely clear that the dog knows how to get his paw off the horn, but no problem, doggo, that's what driver's permits are for.

Can someone please call this dog an Uber?

    The internet made sooooo many jokes about Trumps fake news trophy tweet

    (图1)

    Perhaps the biggest bummer about Twitter's new 280-character limit is that it allows the current president to compose tweets like this one:

    On Monday morning, President Donald Trump hit Twitter to suggest a "FAKE NEWS TROPHY" for whichever news network he deems produces "the most dishonest, corrupt" coverage of his presidency. As usual, Fox was excluded from Trump's media rage.

    In the same tweet, Trump referred to himself as the American people's favorite president with a parenthetical "(me)." According the most recent Gallup(opens in a new tab) poll, the self-described "favorite" president's approval rating currently sits at 37 percent.

    Naturally the internet jumped all over Trump's first tweet of the day. Some even have a solid suggestion for Trump's proposed "FAKE NEWS TROPHY":

    Project Entrepreneur expands accelerator program to help more women entrepreneurs build scalable companies

    (图1)

    Since launching in 2015, Project Entrepreneur(opens in a new tab) — a media partner of Mashable — has trained more than 1,200 aspiring entrepreneurs representing 131 U.S. cities. Its annual venture competition has yielded an alumnae community of nearly 400 women entrepreneurs, with the 2016 finalists reporting $10+ million raised in seed and pre-seed funding.

    Now entering its third year, Project Entrepreneur (PE) — an initiative from the Rent the Runway Foundation and UBS Elevating Entrepreneurs(opens in a new tab) — is expanding the number of winning companies in the accelerator from three to five.

    “We are so excited to continue working with UBS in providing women with the tools they need to create high-growth companies, and see their visions through,” said Jennifer Hyman, CEO and Co-Founder of Rent the Runway. “Past participants in our accelerator continue to inspire us with their incredible progress, including closing rounds of funding. We are eager to provide the next class of talented female founders with the tools and support they need to scale, and to see the disruption their companies bring to various different industries.”

    PE's annual venture competition is open to female founders who are in the prototype or beta stages, have their first paying customers, or are generating revenue. The top 200 applicants will be invited to attend the PE Intensive in New York City on April 13-14, 2018, a free two-day event comprised of in-depth workshops, expert speakers and a pitch competition. The five winning founders will each receive a $10,000 grant, a spot in the five-week accelerator program at Rent the Runway’s New York office and mentorship and engagement with UBS executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. Founders interested can apply online(opens in a new tab); but don’t wait, as the deadline is December 1st!

    Last year’s winning companies included: New York-based LOLI Beauty(opens in a new tab), the first BIY (Blend It Yourself) clean and green beauty brand; Scottsdale-based The Touchpoint Solution(opens in a new tab), a neuroscience wearable that alleviates stress by altering the body’s stress response in as little as 30 seconds; and San Francisco-based Lace & Liberty(opens in a new tab), merging direct-to-consumer convenience with luxury bespoke bridalwear. Two additional New York-based companies were hosted by The Knot/XO Group Co-Founder Carley Roney and designer Rebecca Minkoff: Repeat Roses(opens in a new tab), a sustainable floral waste removal business that gives back to people and planet, and Reboundwear(opens in a new tab), athleisure wear with a purpose, respectively.

    “The caliber of companies we're seeing through Project Entrepreneur further validates what we've always believed — that there is an incredible population of talented female founders in cities and towns across the country,” said Lori Feinsilver, UBS Head of Community Affairs & Corporate Responsibility, Americas. “Being able to reach these women and provide them with access to resources and support that will help fuel their growth gives us confidence that we can indeed level the playing field.”

  • Two people trying to run the same government agency makes for a really awkward first day

    Two people trying to run the same government agency makes for a really awkward first day

    (图1)

    Revolutionaries, take note -- if you're planning a government takeover, please use high quality breakfast pastries.

    That's a lesson that White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney(opens in a new tab) apparently hadn't learned when he stepped into the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau today. He was there to take on an additional job as the agency's director.

    The only problem? The agency's acting director, Leandra English, refused to cede it to him, in the workplace drama of the decade.

    As a Trump appointee, Mulvaney wasn't exactly welcomed at at the job, so he brought crappy Dunkin' Donuts as a way to "ease" himself into an agency he's expected to destroy.

    SEE ALSO: Sorry, Cards Against Humanity can't stop Trump's wall

    On Friday, Director Richard Cordray(opens in a new tab) stepped down, leaving English to serve as acting director. Last night, English filed a lawsuit claiming that she is the "rightful acting director" of the agency. English has asked the court to impose a temporary restraining order to prevent Trump from appointing anyone, arguing that she is entitled to her position under the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform Law(opens in a new tab).

    None of that stopped Mulvaney. On Monday, the Budget Director stepped into the CFPB, ready to take on his new job.

    This is how English responded in an email sent to 1,600 staff.

    "I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. With Thanksgiving in mind, I wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude to all of you for your service,” English said(opens in a new tab), signing the note with her title, "Acting Director."

    And that, my friends, is what we call a death drop.

    Via Giphy(opens in a new tab)

    Here's how Mulvaney responded:

    “Please disregard any instructions you receive from Ms. English in her presumed capacity as acting director.” Mulvaney said(opens in a new tab). “I apologize for this being the very first thing you hear from me. However, under the circumstances I suppose it is necessary. If you’re at 1700 G Street today, please stop by the fourth floor to say hello and grab a doughnut.”

    If Mulvaney, a budget hawk, thinks he can sway members of an agency whose jobs he's poised to eliminate with Dunkin' Donuts, he's out of his mind. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau(opens in a new tab) was explicitly designed to protect consumers from banks and credit card companies. Mulvaney once famously called the agency "sad" and "sick." He is not, as members of the agency likely know, their friend.

    And dude, if you're going to try and win your staff over with breakfast pastries, at least go for something slightly more delicious than Dunkin'. Some suggestions:

    • Krispy Kreme

    • (图2)

      Entenmann's Coffee Cake

    • Savory bacon cheddar scones

    • Literally anything else

    The case is currently being decided. In the meantime, here's Twitter's majority opinion on the issue:

    Chef José Andrés, the man who single-handedly served 3 million meals to Puerto Rico post Hurricane Maria, had the best response of them all.

    Case closed.

    A tourist was bitten on the leg by a crocodile on at Cape Tribulation in Queensland, Australia on Monday night, while standing on a creek bank close to the waters edge.

    A Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) spokesperson said in a statement the crocodile was estimated to be 2 to 2.5 metres (78 to 98 inches) long.

    A video posted on the Facebook page of Ally Bullifent shows the crocodile attack, which comes out of nowhere. It'll be sure to give you a shock.

    (图2)

    The EHP said it would carry out a site assessment of the area on Tuesday, and will possibly target the crocodile "for removal" as it has displayed dangerous behaviour in a designated area. This means it'll be moved to a crocodile farm or a zoo, according to the Cairns Post(opens in a new tab).

    For authorities, it also serves as a reminder about staying safe in areas where crocodiles might be around. Earlier this year, an 18-year-old boy was attacked by a crocodile while reportedly trying to impress a girl.

    England, with its quirky traditions and old-fashioned customs, is a land of endless fascination for outsiders, nominally for people from the former colony of the U.S.

    SEE ALSO: The most adorable revelations from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first interview

    So it's understandable why a town crier -- with his elaborate, red and gold robed dress and tricorn hat -- attracted people's attention on social media when he was depicted in an ABC News video as he announces the news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement outside of Buckingham Palace:

    "Oyez, oyez, oyz!" He yells in the video. "Buckingham Palace is proud to announce the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. God save the Queen!" 

    It can't get any more British than this.

    Business Insider posted a similar video, calling him "the Royal Town Crier":

    However, it turns out the eccentric guy is not officially appointed by the Queen, nor is he a real town crier. His real name is Tony Appleton, from Romford, east London, and he's been making royal announcements for years, bell and scroll on hand.

    (图2)

    In 2013, he fooled prominent American broadcasters(opens in a new tab) including Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper when he announced the birth of Prince William and Kate's firstborn, Prince George, outside St. Mary's Hospital.

    "I'm a royalist. I love the royal family," he told (opens in a new tab)AP(opens in a new tab), while acknowledging he had no official royal role. "I came unannounced."

    Still, many Americans fell for it:

    But what if behind the jolly facade of a couple in love wishing to declare their commitment before God and the nation there's an actual conspiracy to reclaim a former colony, lost in a never-forgotten, embittered war?

    Per Reuters(opens in a new tab), though the wings restaurant will become property of Arby's, it'll still operate on its own.

    Look, if you want to cut down a massive Christmas tree, and stick it up inside your two-story living room, go for it. But maybe don't endanger anyone's life in the process.

    Police in Massachusetts put up a post on their Facebook page on Friday, reminding people to please transport their Christmas trees safely. They really shouldn't have to do this, but here we are.

    SEE ALSO: Upside down Christmas trees are trending, and the internet is outraged

    "One of our officer's stopped this vehicle on Route 20 today," the cops said on Facebook(opens in a new tab), posting a photo of what appears to be a Prius topped with a Christmas tree.

    The tree is so large, it completely obstructs the view of the side and rear windows. It's not clearly visible, but we're also guessing that it wasn't tied down very well.

    While the tree transport was outrageous to say the least, most people in the comments were upset that the police decided to call the tree a "holiday tree" instead of a Christmas tree.

    The best Maxine Waters moments of 2017

    (图1)

    2017 was the year Congresswoman Maxine Waters was elected president of All in With Chris Hayes.

    From the moment she declared that the director of the FBI had "no legitimacy" and then death dropped in front of a gaggle of shellshocked reporters, 79-year-old Auntie Maxine has had our blood loyalty. Every floor she walked on in 2017, whether it was in the Capitol or at the MTV Movie Awards, became her stage and ultimately, a property in her empire.

    More so than any other "deplorable" president with a Ziploc bag of fleas for a brain, Maxine Waters was the de facto leader of the free world/MSNBC in 2017.

    Congresswoman Waters gave us so many viral gifts in 2017. Here are just a few of them.

    1. The time she accused James Comey of having no credibility and then just walked on out

    2. When she revealed that she was "never going to go" to Trump's Inauguration because, "I don't honor him, I don't respect him and I don't want to be involved with him."

    3. The time she was asked what she would do once she was done impeaching Trump, and she replied: "Impeach Pence."

    4. When she delivered MTV's first ever "Best Fight Against the System" award, did a plié, and got a standing ovation.

    5. When she tweeted that it was time for our "racist throwback" Attorney General to go back "to the plantation"

    9. The moment she just said it:

    10. And the tweet that did it too:

    New study finds female-led films perform better at box office. Your move, Hollywood.

    (图1)

    Movie audiences love women.

    According to a study by Creative Arts Agency and shift7(opens in a new tab), films with women in leading roles earn more than their male counterparts at the box office, a finding which should lead to a major paradigm shift in show business.

    “The perception that it’s not good business to have female leads is not true,” CAA agent Christy Haubegger told The New York Times(opens in a new tab). “They’re a marketing asset.”

    SEE ALSO: We have a lot to learn from Megan Fox's #MeToo comments

    CAA and shift7 examined 350 top box office films from 2014 to 2017, defining "lead actor" as the first performer credited in official press materials (also of note: most of these films passed the Bechdel test). 105 of these were women. In every category broken down by budget, films with women in the lead outperformed those starring men.

    (图2)

    Credit: shift7

    Haubegger attributed this to the movie audience's desire to see something new, rather than say, yet another superhero origin story about a white guy. That's why stories about women perform better, as well as stories starring people of color(opens in a new tab) (the subject of a previous study).

    The study was part of an active effort by CAA to diversify Hollywood with regard to women and people of color. But even in light of new research, Haubegger notes that change may be distant.

    “A lot of times in our business there is a lot of bias disguising itself as knowledge,” Haubegger said. Translation: Finding could still be touch for women and minorities simply because those in power won't act.

    (图3)

    But hopefully, with a study like this gaining traction and the obvious incentives of performance and revenue, Hollywood uses this momentum to improve.

  • Joe Bidens website has a hidden message about face masks

    Joe Bidens website has a hidden message about face masks

    Presidential candidate Joe Biden has a very important message on his website, but you won't find it unless you do a little digging. Mashable had a little peek at the source code of Biden's official website, and came across a pertinent coronavirus PSA.

    (图1)

    To see this Easter egg, simply visit JoeBiden.com(Opens in a new tab), right click to inspect its source code(Opens in a new tab), then scroll all the way to the bottom. There you'll find simple ASCII block letters asking people to "WEAR A MASK" — a very familiar phrase we've all been screaming for months.

    If you don't already own a mask or six, the website's source code also includes the web address for a $20 official Biden face mask(Opens in a new tab) in the Team Joe Store. Always be upselling.

    The message can be found at the bottom of the source code for Biden's website. Credit: mashable / joebiden.com

    If you don't want Biden's name emblazoned across your mouth, or prefer your masks to be a bit more stylish, that's totally fine and understandable. Just as long as you wear one.

    Face masks are proven to reduce the spread of coronavirus(Opens in a new tab), protecting both you and the people around you. Considering that the U.S. now has almost 5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and over 160,000 deaths, there's practically no good reason not to wear a mask at this point.

    SEE ALSO: Barack Obama slips on his mask after eulogizing John Lewis, and this shouldn't even be a story

    This isn't the first time web developers have hidden ASCII art in presidential candidates' websites, though previous messages haven't had the same urgency as Biden's. Earlier this year we discovered John Delaney, Eric Swalwell, and Amy Klobuchar's websites all included their candidate's name in their source code, with Delaney's reading, "GO JOHN GO!"

    Not quite as important as "WEAR A MASK," but at least Klobuchar's had emoji.

    As Knives Out 2 cast continually gets better, so do the memes

    Another day, another big name cast in Knives Out 2.

    (图1)

    As fans of Knives Out — Rian Johnson's charming 2019 murder mystery — will recall, the first film had a stacked cast that included Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Christopher Plummer, Chris Evans, Chris Evans' cable-knit sweater, and more.

    The movie was such a hit that Netflix dropped $465 million to buy two sequels(Opens in a new tab), the first of which started filming in Greece on Monday. And the casting is no less impressive this time around.

    Craig is set to reprise his role as detective Benoit Blanc, and other big names including Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Dave Bautista, Janelle Monáe, Madelyn Cline, and Jessica Henwick have also been announced.

    If we think of Knives Out 2 casting in terms of a donut with a hole, well, then early announcements seemed to fill that hole perfectly. But with each new casting announcement we see that the donut hole has a hole in its center — it is not a donut hole at all but a smaller donut with its own hole. Does that make sense? No? Good.

    The bottom line is that just when it seems like Knives Out 2's cast is complete someone new is added to the talented mix. Just this week fans learned that Ethan Hawke and Jada Pinkett Smith had joined the growing ensemble(Opens in a new tab). The excitement and anticipation surrounding this franchise is almost too much to bear, so we're collectively coping by making some hilarious Knives Out 2 memes.

  • How to change your Instagram password

    How to change your Instagram password

    It's a sad reality that thousands of social media accounts get hacked daily. In fact, a recent University of Phoenix survey found that as many as two-thirds of American adults had experienced at least one of their social media accounts being hacked(Opens in a new tab). Instagram is not exempt from the hacking risk. And that's where good passwords come in.

    (图1)

    Instagram suggests that you "change your password regularly" and that you make your password a strong one. The company advises using "a combination of at least six numbers, letters, and punctuation marks (like ! and &)." Instagram also recommends making sure your password for the site is different from passwords you use elsewhere on the internet — which is a good rule of thumb for all passwords, really.

    If it's time to change up your Instagram password, here's how to do it across both desktop and mobile versions of the social network.

    How to change your Instagram password on desktop

    If you're accessing Instagram via a desktop browser, it's a quick and easy job to change your password. Once you're signed in to Instagram, tap your tiny avatar photo that appears at the top right of your screen. In the pop-up menu that appears, click on "Settings."

    Credit: screengrab: amy-mae turner

    When you're in the settings screen that next appears, look to the top of the menu on the left-hand side to see your "Change Password" option. Click on this.

    Credit: screengrab: amy-mae turner

    You'll now see the change password screen.

    Credit: screengrab: amy-mae turner

    Simply enter your current password and then enter your new password, twice. If you struggle to think up secure passwords off the top of your head — and who doesn't? — consider using a password generator to help you create a safe phrase.

    How to change your Instagram password on mobile apps

    Go to your Instagram profile page by tapping on the person-shaped icon at the bottom right of your screen. From your Instagram profile, hit the three-lines menu that appears at the top right of your phone's screen. Click on "Settings."

    In the next menu, select "Security."

    Credit: screengrab: amy-mae turner

    In the security sub-menu that appears, select "Password" at the top of your screen.

    Credit: screengrab: amy-mae turner

    This will take you through to a screen that requires you to enter your current password and then change it to a new one.

    Simply enter the three passwords, and you're done — until, of course, it's time to change your password again.

    Taco Bell confirms the menu changes are unfortunately real

    Listen, we don't want to bring you more bad news, but sometimes that's our job.

    So, it is with deep regret that we must inform you that the rumored Taco Bell menu changes are real, representing yet another small blow in a cavalcade of bad news.

    Rumors started floating this week on Reddit(Opens in a new tab), Twitter, and elsewhere that Taco Bell was planning a major shift. Rumored cuts included all potato items, the Quesarito, Loaded Grillers, and 7-layer burrito.

    It is with great sadness that we can confirm, via a Taco Bell spokesperson, that the changes are real and will take effect nationwide on August 13.

    Here are the menu items that are soon to cut:

    There are some glimmers of good news from Taco Bell, however. You can still get the Quesarito via the web or on the app. The chain is also planning to introduce some new deals.

    "Taco Bell is in fact simplifying its menu to streamline operations and make ordering faster, safer and easier than ever for customers and team members, especially while the pandemic has shifted priorities to the drive-thru and digital," a spokesperson wrote in an email. "While some fan favorites like the 7-Layer Burrito, Potato Bites, and Loaded Grillers may be retiring from menus, we’re excited to permanently introduce the $1 Beef Burrito to the Cravings Value Menu and the return of the $5 Grande Nachos Box for a limited time."

    Here's a look at the new menu. Please note: not a potato to be found.

    Still folks are likely to be pretty upset. The past few days have been an uproar of anger, sadness, etc at the new menu.

    Well, there you have it, my dear internet friends. The changes are real and 2020 marches on, awful in nearly every way.

    The 46-year-old driver "became airborne and crashed over 100 feet into the opposing lane," according to Barrie Today(opens in a new tab). The Tesla skidded after landing, and eventually hit a tree in a parking lot. Considering Teslas are, you know, not supposed to fly, it's not surprising that the four-door vehicle, which appears to be a sedan, was totaled. The exact model was not released.

    Global News reports(opens in a new tab) that the driver of the vehicle was charged with dangerous driving, and was treated at the hospital for minor injuries along with a passenger. Thankfully, no other vehicles were involved.

    Teslas are relatively heavy cars thanks to the electric battery, so it's safe to say that the vehicle's impressive acceleration(opens in a new tab) capabilities did help the vehicle go airborne, though given the charges it appears that police are blaming the driver.

    A Redditor who claims to live in the area(opens in a new tab) said it's quite easy to get airborne on the tracks: "I live near here and you literally just need to be going 30 to get air. The guy is a moron."

    Unless you spent your day under a rock on Tuesday, you probably already know that SpaceX successfully launched its largest rocket ever, the Falcon Heavy. Oh, and on that rocket was a Telsa Roadster, because why not?

    Elon Musk shared the last image of the Roadster — equipped with a "Starman" at the wheel — before it spends the rest of eternity somewhere in space. Kind of haunting, kind of beautiful. May he ride forever, and not be blown to bits.

    On Tuesday night Musk tweeted that the Falcon Heavy's payload "exceeded Mars orbit and kept going to the asteroid belt."

    It's unclear exactly where the Roadster will end up on this road trip (space is really big!), but either way, the mission has been a major success.

    Terry Crews hasnt heard from Expendables co-stars following assault claims

    Although Terry Crews has had plenty of support from the public following his own #MeToo moment, making accusations of sexual assault last year, he's still waiting on a few phone calls.

    To recap, Crews accused William Morris Endeavour agent Adam Venit of groping him at an industry party back in 2016.

    Crews is currently suing Venit, who denied the accusation. In light of the claims, The Expendables producer Avi Lerner allegedly called Crews' management to tell the actor to drop the case against Venit if he wanted to avoid "problems" on the sequel.

    Crews' went public with this claim on Twitter back in February, noting co-star Sylvester Stallone is also represented by Venit. In a BuzzFeed interview(opens in a new tab) published Thursday, Crews said he hasn't heard a peep from the Expendables crew.

    "No words from anybody. Nothing," Crews told the publication. "Believe me, nobody saw that coming. Nobody thought that I was gonna put that out there."

    The actor also singled out the NFL for its "culture of intimidation," and said Hollywood is a "very violent place," comparing it to a plantation.

    "You see a lot of people who never work again. For even speaking up, the whole thing is that they cut your head off so that the next person doesn’t speak," Crews added.

    As some of his Hollywood colleagues staying mum on the matter, Crews has been posting support he's received from the public.

    On Thursday, he posted a letter from Old Spice and Procter & Gamble, who said they'd offer support "in any way we can as you continue to fight sexual misconduct."

    In his lawsuit against Venit, WME lawyers have requested(opens in a new tab) Crews undergo a mental health examination. It's something he's agreed to, and others have decried.

  • Joe Bidens first @POTUS tweet is refreshingly boring

    Joe Bidens first @POTUS tweet is refreshingly boring

    President Joe Biden is officially the tweeter-in-chief.

    As his inauguration came to an end on Wednesday, Biden dusted off the @POTUS twitter account and fired off his first post as president.

    And thank the heavens, his tweet was shockingly cogent and normal compared to the past four years of presidential posts.

    "There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face," Biden wrote on Twitter shortly after taking office. "That's why today, I am heading to the Oval Office to get right to work delivering bold action and immediate relief for American families."

    Biden was officially handed the @POTUS(Opens in a new tab) handle on Wednesday. The Trump administration's archival posts were migrated over to @POTUS45 just like former President Barack Obama's tweets were sent to @POTUS44. Other such accounts, like @WhiteHouse(Opens in a new tab), @VP(Opens in a new tab), @FLOTUS(Opens in a new tab), and @PressSec(Opens in a new tab) were handed over to the Biden administration as well.

    Twitter transfers, of course, wouldn't typically be such a big deal. But former President Donald Trump was the most capital-O Online world leader in history. He lived on Twitter up and until the platform banned him for inciting violence at the U.S. Capitol.

    Biden, on the other hand, posted a simple message about tackling the numerous crises the U.S. faces. Boring in the sense that it wasn't an attack on a foe or some kind of unhinged commentary on cable news? Sure. It was definitely nothing like a post from the now-defunct @RealDonaldTrump account. But wow, was it refreshing.

    In somewhat of an odd choice, however, Twitter didn't let Biden inherit the followers from the POTUS account despite the fact that Trump got Obama's followers. Instead the followers from @PresElectBiden(Opens in a new tab) were migrated to @POTUS. Biden's digital director wasn't happy about the decision when it was announced.

    "Twitter is starting us at zero...but recommended the President of the United States tag other accounts to encourage growth," Rob Flaherty wrote on Twitter.

    No matter, Biden's @POTUS account has already racked up 1.4 million followers and counting.

    Not for nothing, Vice President Kamala Harris actually tweeted from her new @VP account before Biden broke his in.

    "Ready to serve," the account posted as Biden delivered his inaugural speech.

    Arguably one of Yorkshire Tea's biggest fans, Nathan Derek Garner, decided to legally change his name to reflect his love of tea. He now goes by Nathan Yorkshire Tea Garner.

    Technically the UK-native only changed his middle name, but still, that's a lot of work just to prove how much you love tea. And love tea he does.

    Garner drinks about 20 cups of Yorkshire Tea on an average day, according to Express(opens in a new tab), and he's had a love of this particular brew ever since he was 12 when his grandfather introduced him to it.

    Garner made the decision to legally change his middle name to Yorkshire Tea in August, after his friend made an off-the-cuff remark about his zest for the brand.

    "I was at work one day and my mate Billy said, 'Chuffin' hell, you drink so much of that stuff you should change your name to Yorkshire Tea,' Garner recounted to Express. "I thought that was a great idea so at lunch I got out my phone and went onto the website and got rid of Derek."

    And that's exactly what Garner did.

    Thrilled, Yorkshire Tea is hopping to have Garner to their headquarters in the future for a tea tasting, Yorkshire Tea's senior brand manager Laura Burton told Munchies.

    "When Nathan got in touch to let us know that he had changed his middle name to 'Yorkshire Tea' we were beyond flattered by his overwhelming love for a proper brew," said Burton.
