12 things you shouldn't leave in your car in hot weather in Arizona

We all get lazy sometimes, perhaps you're in a rush or maybe just running inside for a couple of minutes. Whatever your reason may be, I'm sure you've left something in your car before. Now, normally, this might not be a problem, but in the Valley, temperatures can reach highs of 110 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the temperature inside your car can rise by as much as 20 degrees in 10 minutes, even in cooler weather. After an hour, it can reach around 140 degrees on a 95-degree day, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Aside from being dangerous for children and pets, this can also be an issue with food and flammable items. Here's what not to leave in a hot car. There are quite a few things you shouldn't leave in a hot car, according to Geico and Capital Insurance Group: Food and beverages: Certain beverages can cause a mess in your car for example, a wine cork can easily slip out or a soda can may explode in hot temperatures. Bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses double every 20 minutes even at room temperature, according to the FDA. Don't leave groceries or leftovers in a warm car for more than two hours – or only one hour when it's over 90 degrees. Aerosol cans: Pressurized cans are highly sensitive outside of the recommended storage temperature. The contents can expand which can cause the can to crack or explode. Sunscreen: When sunscreen is left in high temperatures for too long, this can shorten its shelf life according to the Centers for Disease Control. Lighters: The flammable fuel inside of a lighter can expand, breach the lighter casing when exposed to high heat and create a fire hazard. Plastic bottles: Besides a clear plastic bottle, potentially magnifying the sun's rays, there is also a risk from bisphenol A or BPA. According to the National Library of Medicine, there's an increased release of BPA from plastics at higher temperatures. Batteries: Leaving batteries in high temperatures can lead to a loss of capacity but also cause a leakage or rupture. Battery acid is dangerous when inhaled and highly corrosive, according to the CDC. Electronics: Leaving your phone or another electronic device in a hot car could cause it to shut down or suffer damage. Medicine: If medications are left in high heat for an extended amount of time, the compounds in prescriptions and over-the-counter medications can be altered and lose potency. Sunglasses/glasses: Leaving sunglasses or prescription glasses in a hot car can cause the plastic to soften and warp, changing the frame's shape and fit. If metal-framed glasses are left, the heat can make them too hot to put on your face or handle. DVDs and CDs: If left in a hot car, CDs can warp and cases can melt together. Unless you really need to take your animal with you, opt to leave your pet safely at home. The American Veterinary Medical Association says to 'never leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle, no matter what the outdoor temperature or how long you think you'll be gone.' Temperatures inside of your vehicle can rise about 20 degrees in just 10 minutes. Cracking the windows makes no difference. As stated above, cars can heat up rather quickly. Heatstroke is one of the leading non-crash vehicle-related fatalities among children, according to the NHTSA. It can occur when a child is left in a hot vehicle, which causes their body temperature to rise quickly and dangerously. A core body temperature of 107 degrees is lethal. 'It is never okay to leave a child alone in or around a car for any reason,' the NHTSA website states.

Coastal town treated to free chips with a twist - powered by an electric car

A coastal town was treated to free chips with a twist - the chippy was powered by an electric car. In the aptly named Kent town of Deal, National Fish and Chip Day was celebrated with 300 portions of chips given away, as well as a limited run of battered fish. But it wasn't your ordinary chip shop, with the chippy being powered by two electric cars and fronted by TikTok's 'Chip Shop Diva', Destiny Harold. The Dacia Spring, which its makers say is the cheapest electric vehicle currently on the market, was the power behind the frying, in partnership with local chippy, The Blue Mermaid Fish Bar. It comes after a poll of 2,000 adults found fish and chips is the most popular treat on a British holiday, as well as cream tea and hot doughnuts. Others to feature in the top 20 list include Mr Whippy ice cream, Cornish pasties and mussels. Quintessentially British foods, such as fish finger sandwiches, strawberries and cream and a pie and mash also featured in the ranking. A spokesperson for car brand Dacia said: 'It was fun treating passers-by today and showing the power of our electric car, Spring, using its vehicle to load technology, which allows you to power external devices off the car's battery. 'It's no surprise we have a national day dedicated to the iconic meal that is fish and chips and the study shows just how much we love it and associate it with holidays by the seaside. 'Playing on the phrase 'cheap as chips' in line with our affordable car and being in the appropriately named Deal, was a great way to celebrate National Fish and Chip Day.' The research also found 41 per cent of adults describe such foods as nostalgic, while 45 per cent feel satisfied after eating them. When ordering a classic fish and chips, cod (48 per cent) and haddock (19 per cent) were the most popular choices, but 69 per cent simply order a portion of chips. It also emerged 44 per cent believe fish and chips is the 'food of the people' and 39 per cent said class doesn't impact how people eat it. While 46 per cent feel there is something nostalgic about eating the British staple with a wooden fork, which 33 per cent typically do, although 38 per cent opt to eat it by hand. Food psychologist, James Cornish, said: 'There are few things that unite the British public quite like fish and chips. 'Golden, salty, comforting, and steeped in history, this timeless dish is more than a meal - it's a national treasure. 'Loved across generations, social classes, and regions, it's one of those rare things that truly brings us together. 'There's a certain kind of magic in fish and chips - a simple meal that somehow carries the weight of memory, comfort, and delight. 'Maybe it's because we don't expect too much from humble food, but our delight is excelled through the delivering of more than we expected.'

Pup's Reaction After Dogs Stare Him Down From Car Goes Viral

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A clip capturing a dog's anxious reaction to a tense traffic encounter has amassed millions of views on social media, leaving users in stitches. The hilarious TikTok video shared on Saturday under the username @alexarlott14, shows the pup, Duke, sitting in the passenger seat of his owner's car, looking visibly intimidated as a group of pit bulls in a nearby vehicle stare him down. "Bro is not OK," reads layover text in the clip, as the pup is literally shaking, looking at his owner, as if asking to move faster. Each pup is different, and while some can be excellent guardians, others, like Duke, may be a little less suited for this position. One of the best breeds when it comes to protecting you or your property is the Belgian Malinois. The pups are highly capable and adaptable dogs that can be trained to do nearly anything and are fearless. German shepherds are another great choice, often used in law enforcement due to their intelligence and protective instincts. While being affectionate around adults and children, the breed will stand up to threats from strangers. Rottweilers and Doberman pinschers are also among the top guardian dogs, according to Georgia Veterinary Associates. Other good options include the bullmastiff, giant schnauzer, Rhodesian ridgeback, cane corso and Great Dane. While these are the best-suited breeds for this position, each of them requires proper training, socialization, and an experienced handler to fulfill their protective role effectively.

One user, Punk's Not Dead, commented: "Aww. The ears down. I have a big dog who's also a big chicken when it comes to being around small dogs or other big dogs I never test her courage or the other dogs strength. I love my dog." Oshana posted: "Nah that brown one really wants to fight him." Another user, Charlie Brown, wrote: "They was probably throwing gang signs out the window right before this too." Mfundo 'Nyambose' Mthethwa added: "Bro wants none of that business and the brown one is all about that business." Newsweek reached out to @alexarlott14 for comment via TikTok comments.
