You might think that Trump’s goose is cooked, but that won’t stop you from stress eating as you hate watch the third presidential debate on Wednesday, October 19 at 6 p.m. PST. Need some inspo? We’ve got you covered.

Leek Dip

If you Wiki leeks, you’ll find that the cousin of onions and garlic is basically a superfood. What more appropriate snack could you eat as you watch the two candidates vie for the lonely spot atop a superpower?

Ore-Ida Fries

The best thing about having Ore-Ida fries as a snack is the fact that they’re the same color as Trump’s hair, so you can pretend you’re Trump by putting them on your head and shouting inanities. The second best thing? They’re delish. If you’re into Trump’s waffling on immigration, we suggest the Waffle Fries. If you’re into Clinton’s experience, you might like the Extra Crispy Seasoned Crinkles.

Wings

Here’s a fun game: Try to figure out if you’re eating a right wing or a left wing. Chomp them all the way to the West Wing.

Taco Truck Tacos

Preferably purchased from the wall of taco trucks parked in front of Trump International Las Vegas hotel.

Stuffed Ballot Peppers

Nothing tastes better than good, old-fashioned, practically impossible voter fraud. And if you’re a Trump supporter, don’t forget to get those peppers in the oven by November 28.

“Rig”-atoni

A variation on a theme. Fun fact: It’s good and totally legal for postal workers to rip up Trump ballots.

Rotten Pumpkin (a.k.a. The Trumpkin)

Eating a Trumpkin might be as close as you’ll come to eating Donald Trump’s face without having to go to prison.

Tequila Shots

Being able to grab a beer with your future president has always been the barometer for an electable candidate. Take that a step further by punishing yourself with the same liquor Hillary Clinton gets bullied into drinking. Add some salt and lime and tequila shots are a bona fide snack.

Poisoned Vegan Sandwiches

Yes, leading up to Election Day, it can and will get more foolish by the day—likely by the hour. Load up on some Pret A Manger vegan sandwiches à la Pam Anderson’s visit to Julian Assange’s hideout at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. You don’t need to be a spy for the Clinton camp to eat flavorless sandwiches with an infamous hacker, but it certainly helps.

Now that you’re properly stocked up, kick your feet up and enjoy the next four years of indigestion. Here’s how to watch the debate on Wednesday.

A former Miss World contestant was disqualified for being a mom. Now she's fighting back.

Some beauty pageants, like the Miss America competition, have done away with the swimsuit portions of the competitions, thus dipping their toes in the 21st century. Other aspects of beauty pageants remain stuck in the 1950s, and we're not even talking about the whole "judging women mostly on their looks" thing. One beauty pageant winner was disqualified for being a mom, as if you can't be beautiful after you've had a kid. Now she's trying to get the Miss World competition to update their rules.

Veronika Didusenko won the Miss Ukraine pageant in 2018. After four days, she was disqualified because pageant officials found out she was a mom to 5-year-old son Alex, and had been married. Didusenko said she had been aware of Miss World's rule barring mother from competing, but was encouraged to compete anyways by pageant organizers.

NASA's solar probe sent back its first findings, and it's more incredible than we thought

One mystery in our universe is a step closer to being solved. NASA's Parker Solar Probe launched last year to help scientists understand the sun. Now, it has returned its first findings. Four papers were published in the journal Nature detailing the findings of Parker's first two flybys. It's one small step for a solar probe, one giant leap for mankind.



It is astounding that we've advanced to the point where we've managed to build a probe capable of flying within 15 million miles from the surface of the sun, but here we are. Parker can withstand temperatures of up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit and travels at 430,000 miles per hour. It's the fastest human-made vehicle, and no other human-made object has been so close to the sun.

Since the mid '90s the phrase "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" has been part of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point's football team's lexicon.

Over the past few years, the team has taken the field flying a black skull-and-crossbones flag with an acronym for the phrase, "GFBD" on the skull's upper lip. Supporters of the team also use it on social media as #GFBD.
