Gas Station Mirror Mystery Goes Viral on TikTok—and It Wasn't a Two-Way Mirror

A viral TikTok clip claimed a gas station bathroom had a two-way mirror, prompting online speculation. Follow-up inspection showed the mirrors were standard, mounted with a tiled wall behind them, not a two-way pane. The piece also outlines simple tests people use to distinguish two-way mirrors, such as the fingernail gap test and flashlight test, while noting these methods aren’t foolproof and that the setup appeared suspicious to some viewers regardless of the outcome.

"Breakthrough Study: Blood Test Reveals Maximum Absorption Capacity of Period Products"

A study conducted by researchers from Oregon Health & Science University found that many period products may be less absorbent than advertised due to inadequate testing methods. Most testing is done using saline, which does not accurately mimic the experience of real periods. The lack of industry testing standards makes it difficult for doctors to identify patients with heavy menstrual bleeding, which can lead to health issues. The researchers conducted their own study using human blood and found that a majority of the tested products underperformed compared to their absorbency claims. The findings highlight the need for improved testing methods and awareness among consumers.
