Ray's New York Bagels, a New York-based bagel company, has been voted as the store-bought brand that tastes just like the ones from New York in a taste test of 14 brands. Their bagels are prepared using authentic New York-style cooking methods, including boiling in New York's mineral-light water, and are frozen for freshness to preserve their taste and texture. Available in major grocery stores' freezer sections, Ray's claims that freezing their freshly baked bagels locks in their freshness and vibrance, while also extending their shelf-life and containing fewer chemical preservatives. To maximize the crispy outer layer of a bagel, baking it in the oven is recommended, and there are different opinions on whether to thaw or toast frozen bagels for the best results.
Photos and videos of frozen alligators in North Carolina and Texas have sparked fear and amazement online, but experts assure that the reptiles are not dead – they are simply using a survival instinct called brumation to endure the cold temperatures. Brumation is the reptilian equivalent of mammal hibernation, during which alligators become lethargic and have a slowed metabolic rate. This phenomenon allows them to survive in the cold without suffocating, and they rely on the environment to regulate their body temperature.
Frozen alligators, dubbed "gatorcicles," were found suspended in a North Carolina swamp as temperatures dropped to 17 degrees, allowing them to survive by sticking their noses out of the ice to breathe and suspend themselves in the water. The rarely witnessed adaptation is an extreme form of brumation, enabling the alligators to survive cold snaps while frozen in place. The park's videos of the "gatorcicles" have garnered attention on social media, with some daring the park to "boop the snoot" of an alligator, and one staffer even recorded himself doing just that.
Walt Disney Animation Studios celebrates the 10th anniversary of the release of "Frozen" with the announcement of two upcoming sequels and the opening of immersive Frozen-themed lands at Disney Parks worldwide. The film, which became the highest-grossing animated film at the time, inspired a sequel, short films, a podcast, a Broadway musical, and various attractions. The first Frozen land, World of Frozen, has opened in Hong Kong Disneyland, featuring the village, two castles, and a new mountain sleigh coaster. Additionally, a Frozen land is being built at Tokyo Disney's Fantasy Springs expansion. Disney head Bob Iger confirmed the development of Frozen 3 and hinted at a Frozen 4.
Thawing frozen crab legs before cooking is recommended for even and quick cooking. Thawing can be done in the refrigerator overnight or by immersing them in cool water. It is important to minimize the time from freezer to cooking to maintain the quality of the crab legs. If in a hurry, cooking them frozen is possible but may result in unevenly cooked meat. Quick-thawing under cool running water or immersing them in cool water for about half an hour are better options.

Disney also has plans for Zootopia-themed area in Shanghai, a Fantasy Springs port in Tokyo, and a Frozen-themed "Kingdom of Arendelle" in Disneyland Paris.
