Grandmas are often portrayed as frail and ignorant things, but the grandmas we know? They’d wallop you upside the head with a purse full of Werther’s Originals just for thinking such narrow-minded thoughts about your matriarchs.
When shopping for grandmothers, folks generally tend to think about their particular intersection in life (older, woman) rather than their personality. And we are here to tell you that is just plain wrong.

Sometimes technology is a burden, and sometimes it’s a boon. In the case of Uber Eats, one grandma thinks it’s a blessing from heaven.
Twitter user @decentbirthday introduced his grandma to Uber Eats with an order from Wendy’s over the weekend. She was so amazed by the lovely convenience, she had to have it twice in less than 24

Not many memes manage to last for several months, but the “Mans Not Hot” phenomenon doesn’t look like it’s due to end anytime soon.
In the latest chapter, Big Shaq himself appeared on BBC Radio 1.
