Who’s got the biggest smile?

A curious dog ended up with her biggest smile ever after getting hold of discarded dentures!

Lucas Alves Magalhães, a deputy head teacher at an agricultural college was in stitches with laughter when he saw his pooch, Pandora walk in from the garden with false teeth.

The hilarious photos of Pandora sporting the biggest grin as she wears human dentures perfectly over her natural set of nashers are made all the funnier by the fact that she is oblivious to it all.

Lucas said: “I laughed a lot and I think she was confused and not understanding why I was laughing so much. I took a photograph and quickly removed it from her mouth.

“Two days later she dug up the other part of them. And the way it was in her mouth, the smile was perfect, I burst into laughter,” Lucas, from Monte Apraz vel, Brazil, who is also a psychologist, removed from Pandora the second part of the dentures which were left behind in the garden by the previous residents.

Official Nutella café opens in Chicago

Loads of cafés and restaurants are fully aware of Nutella’s enduring power, so it makes sense that they’ve all added weird and wonderful Nutella-themed dishes to their menu.

But there’s never been a permanent (there have been popups, but that’s not the same), standalone, official Nutella café run by Ferrero themselves.

The world’s first official Nutella café opened in Chicago this week. The café is designed to make you feel like you’re ‘walking into a jar of Nutella’, which sounds like a chocolatey dream, and its menu, naturally, has all kinds of Nutella-based delights.

Think crepes, gelato, oatmeal, croissants, waffles, pancakes, fruit fondue, cake, panacotta. Weirdly, there are many menu items that don’t include Nutella, such as soups and paninis, but we honestly don’t see why anyone would bother with those when they could order Nutella with ‘assorted shortbread cookies’.

The café opened inside Chicago’s Millennium Park Plaza, and offered surprise treats for the first 400 people in line to eat.
