Why are people suddenly putting their toilet roll in the fridge?
A late-night session of TikTok doom-scrolling attracts all types of weird and wonderful going ons in the world. From NPC streaming to mouth-taping and random pickle eating, the platform can be a wild place. But now, people are putting their toilet roll in the fridge – and it turns out there's a reason behind it. The tip has been making rounds across the platform with cleaning influencers and life hack pages quick to jump on the trend. One person claimed the trick comes from the hotel industry. Even an Aldi Nord store jumped in on the action, with their very own demonstration. Apparently, placing a toilet roll in the fridge can act as an odour neutraliser as it absorbs any unwanted smells from foods. Meanwhile, another person claimed they had a completely different use for it, suggesting they use it as a cold compression as it "stays cold for eight hours." @aldinord While some have found the trick impressive, there are other ways to ensure your fridge remains fresh. Firstly, you could simply buy a fridge odour absorber for a couple of pounds. Or, you could go down the lemon and baking soda route. Simply add two to three tablespoons of baking soda and salt to sliced lemons and pop them onto a plate and into the fridge. Keep them there for around six days. CleaningTok has become one of the platform's highest-performing categories – and we can see why. Recently, people "fell in love" with one woman's aesthetically pleasing hotel cleaning routine, which saw her clean her room and unpack quirky essentials on her travels.

One detail the new Mean Girls trailer is making millennials feel very old
A new Mean Girls musical film is on the way and the trailer is making millennials feel extremely old. The original Mean Girls film that came out in 2004 has secured its place as a cultural classic in the millennial zeitgeist. In 2017, it was made into a Broadway musical and now, a new film version of the musical has got people talking. A trailer for the new film was released yesterday (8 November) and instantly caused a stir thanks to the words, “This isn’t your mother’s Mean Girls” which appear at the beginning. Millennials took to X/Twitter to defend the fact that they are not that old and a large proportion don’t have children old enough to watch the film. For context, millennials are those born between 1981 and 1996, making them 27 at the youngest and 42 at the oldest. One person shared a screenshot from the trailer, writing: “Wait a second”. Mean Girls | Official Trailer (2024 Movie) www.youtube.com Someone else commented: “Boomer and Gen X marketing execs have a very hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that very few 35-year-olds have 12-year-olds these days lol” Another added: “Also imagine the 35-year-olds who were looking forward to watching the remake and just got insulted in the trailer.” “Cause what do you mean I should have a 12-year-old?” another asked. Another wrote: “If I'd had a kid when I was the age my parents were when I was born that kid would be in middle school, instead I'm scraping by to afford having a cat.” The 2024 film is set for release on 12 January. Like the original, it was written by Tina Fey who is also reprising her role as teacher Ms Norbury. Actor Tim Meadows also appears as Principal Duvall. Additionally, actor John Hamm has been cast as the gym teacher Coach Carr, while Reneé Rapp will play the number one “it” girl, Regina George.
