Things I Learned On Set Today: Lowe's Magazine Edition

Shooting a scene for a movie in a Lowe's hardware store, I killed some time reading their selection of notably obscure periodicals. In these magazines were pages filled with facts that perhaps needed to be read:

+ If you put banana in a smoothie, it makes it thicker. If you add ice to a smoothie, it makes the smoothie fewer calories. If you put cocoa in a smoothie, it tastes like chocolate.

+ Not just men, but also women, lose their hair. Women should feel more bad about this, because they are supposed to look pretty and can't just wear a baseball cap or shave their head. Women can spend $495 on a brush that beams red lasers into their scalp, which may or may not stimulate growth.

+ Here's how to build a contemporary shed. If you are looking to build an old-fashioned shed, don't look here. This will now be explained for 368 pages.

+ This is a magazine all about eating chicken.

+ This is a magazine about feeling bad you are overweight, which you might purchase while shopping at a hardware store.

+ Steve Carell is just as loveable in person.*

*Not in magazine, but rather discovered in real life.
