Dwight Schrute Beet It ice cream
Best Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor ever!
The flavor description reads “Beet flavored ice cream with beet chunks and a rich beet swirl.”
I actually like beets, so I would be game to try it! Who’s with me?

Inside ‘The Office’ table read
Variety provides some insight on The Office table read for the season 7 finale, Search Committee.
[Paul] Lieberstein wrote the season finale, and once everyone gathers, two rows deep, around the rectangular conference table, the reading begins. Since “The Office” isn’t filmed in front of a studio audience, this is the best and only opportunity the writers have to hear the episode read from start to finish and gauge how it plays.

Man gets drunk from hand sanitizer
In The Office Season 3 episode Gay Witch Hunt, Meredith licks some hand sanitizer in hopes of getting a little alcohol buzz.
Sound unrealistic? From the ‘life imitating art’ files:
Doctors said in a letter published Sunday in the Medical Journal of Australia that they were stunned to discover the man had downed six 375-milliliter (12.7-ounce) bottles of hand sanitizer, giving him a blood-alcohol concentration more than five times higher than the legal limit for driving in Australia.
Girl follows GPS and drives car into water
In The Office Season 4 episode Dunder Mifflin Infinity, Michael drives his car into a lake while blindly following GPS directions.
Sound unrealistic? Read on:
Three young women escaped a sinking SUV after a direction from a rental car GPS unit sent them down a boat launch and into the Mercer Slough early Wednesday.
The driver apparently thought she was on a road while following her GPS unit just after midnight, but she was actually heading down the Sweyolocken boat launch.
