I think Caffeine is the the thing that they aren't supposed to have, which most sugary snacks won't have.
That said, a lot of Mormons still have caffeine anyway.

Technically you can, but the the margin of error is so huge that any result is almost meaningless.

The special was handily won by the press team. by FranklinDRoosevelt32
Wolf's embarrassment on Jeopardy is why very few politicians have ever gone on that show. It's seen as too big of a career risk if you do badly.

Those bans are all illegal and unenforceable, the Supreme Court struck them down a long time ago.

Reply to TIL that the NFL made a committee to falsify information to cover up brain damage in their players by KirstenTillson
Stuff like this are why I wish Theodore Roosevelt had straight up outlawed football a century ago.
The story behind that for those who don't know is that Football used to be an even more brutal game then it is today. To the point that multiple people would sometimes die in a single game. The carnage was so awful that President Theodore Roosevelt threatened to outlaw the sport entirely if they didn't change their ways.
So now instead of people dying on the football field they instead carry lifelong injuries such as brain damage their entire life.
