How many steps have you done today?
How many emails answered?
How much money have you spent this week
And how many hours have you slept?

Welcome to the numberdemic, where a deluge of figures, stats and data manipulate your every move. From the way you work, date and exercise to the products you buy and the news you read, numbers have worked their way into every part of our lives. But is life better this way? How are all of those numbers affecting us?

With fascinating, sometimes frightening and sometimes shrewdly funny research, behavioural economists Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbjørnsen explain why we're so attached to numbers and how we can free ourselves from their tyranny. Along the way, you'll learn why viral videos, however inaccurate, become more convincing with every view; how numbers can affect the way we physically age, if we let them; why the more films you rate the less impressive you'll find them and how numbers that 'anchor' themselves in your brain can affect the size of your mortgage - plus much more.

Sharp, insightful and totally engaging, 
NUMBERMANIA is your vaccination against a world obsessed with numbers.

Good quality trash bags with reliable strength and pleasant scent
Size: 140 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 140 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Trash Bags (13 Gallon, Gain Lavender scent) for my regular household trash, and overall they’ve performed very well. The material feels strong and flexible, which helps prevent tearing when the bag gets full or when disposing of heavier items. One thing I appreciate is the ForceFlex design, which allows the bag to stretch instead of ripping when handling bulky waste. The drawstring closure is also sturdy and makes it easy to tie and carry the bag without worrying about leaks or spills. The Gain Lavender scent is noticeable but not overpowering. It helps reduce everyday trash odors, especially in the kitchen, which is a nice bonus for a busy household. In terms of capacity, the 13 gallon size fits standard kitchen trash cans perfectly, and the box lasts a good amount of time, making it practical for routine use. What I liked most: The strength and flexibility of the bags stand out. They hold up well even with heavier trash, and the scent adds a fresh touch without being overwhelming. What could be improved: While the scent is pleasant, those who prefer unscented bags may want another option. Also, depending on usage, the price may feel slightly higher than basic trash bags, but the durability helps justify it. Overall: These are dependable kitchen trash bags that combine durability, flexibility, and odor control. I would consider purchasing them again for everyday household use.

Surprisingly great—no more kitchen odors!
Size: 140 Count (Pack of 1)
I honestly didn't think I’d be this impressed by trash bags, but these have been a total game-changer for my kitchen. The Gain Lavender scent is subtle but does a great job of masking that typical "trash smell," and the bags themselves are super strong. The ForceFlex material actually lives up to the name—they stretch without ripping, so I don't have to worry about them breaking on the way to the bin. It sounds silly, but it’s made such a difference in keeping the kitchen cleaner and stress-free. Definitely worth the buy!

I’ve been using these trash bags and I’m honestly impressed. They are very strong and don’t tear easily, even when they’re full or holding heavier items. I like that they have a good capacity and fit perfectly in my kitchen trash can. They also help prevent leaks and bad odors, which is a big plus. I’ve used them for daily trash as well as bigger clean-ups, and they’ve held up really well every time. Definitely a reliable option if you’re looking for durability and quality. I would buy them again
