Fellow travelers, we need to talk. Airports have become a hot spot for bad behavior. From impatient “ gate lice ” and inconsiderate “speaker scum” to content creators who artfully arrange and photograph or film their TSA trays (and hold up the security line while they do!), many people seem to be forgetting their manners when they enter the airport these days. Seriously, don’t be those people. Of course, some behaviors, like listening to your phone at full volume , are obviously bad. But expectations around others, like the latest trend called “belt bumping,” may not be so black and white. What is belt bumping? Why has it become not only common but also highly controversial? And are you doing it when you fly? (Say it ain’t so!) We’ve got the answers to these questions and more, so you can become a more confident and polite traveler.

Campbell’s soup is one of those pantry staples that most of us grew up with. Whether you were keen on Chicken & Stars on a cold day or Tomato paired with an ooey, gooey grilled cheese , that red and white can was always ready to become a warm bowl of comfort. Yet despite seeing a Campbell’s soup can nearly every time you opened the cupboard, you may have overlooked a key element sitting front and center on the label: a bronze medal.

Boasting one of the most distinctive voices in music and a personality to match, Dolly Parton is by all measures one of the greats. She has 11 Grammys (plus a lifetime achievement award) and 26 songs that topped the Billboard country charts, and she’s sold more than 100 million records since her first album, Hello, I’m Dolly, was released in 1967.

In films like 1980’s female-empowerment comedy 9 to 5 and 1989’s tearjerker Steel Magnolias , she lights up the screen with her warm presence. And as a performer? Well, how many other senior citizens can gamely dress up like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and dazzle audiences during a live NFL halftime show? (That’s a rhetorical question.) The mind-boggling thing is that even if Dolly Parton were famous only because of her artistic talents, she’d still be considered one of the gr...
