Burgers, French fries, and a soda - is it all worth risking your health? McDonald’s is notoriously known as one of the unhealthiest fast food restaurants in the United States, despite there being over 13,000 locations in the United States. The Super Size Me Documentary was released in 2004 when McDonald’s came out with a new size meal, with the super-sized meals being even bigger than the large meals.

The Bends - 30 Years Later
The other day, while studying for a couple of tests, I found myself putting on Radiohead’s 1995 release - The Bends.

To Pimp A Butterfly
As Kendrick Lamar’s fame reaches its peak, with seventy-two million monthly listeners (up twenty million from last year) and his multi-platinum 2024 album GNX , his other albums have been overshadowed by their success, despite their earlier popularity. Although it is certainly a great album, some might argue that past Kendrick albums are significantly better.
