TIL that the reason mint feels cold is due to it containing menthol. Menthol activates the same receptor (TRPM8) that detects cold temperatures, so the brain will interpret it as something cold.

TIL thousands of exotic cars are abandoned at Dubai airports, because late payments on a rental car can land you in jail for years. So people flee the country to avoid jail time, leaving behind their luxury cars.

TIL of Steve Rothstein, who took advantage of American Airlines' AAirpass (a promotion that offered lifetime unlimited flights for $250k). He accumulated more than 30M miles, costing them $1M per year. He would often book a "companion" just for elbow room, putting the ticket under "Bag Rothstein"
