Lettuce is one of those food staples you always buy and then a few days later, it sits there beginning to brown and wither in the fridge, and you're like, "Why did I buy that?"

Still, you hate to  throw away a perfectly good bag or head of lettuce. That would be wasteful. So here find 5 ways of using up that lettuce!

I'm an on-the-go sorta woman. When I'm in a rush, I'm always jonesin' for great snacks to grab on my way out the door. That's where high-fiber snack bars come in. Helloooo awesomeness! Fiber fills you up, aids with digestion, and with summer rapidly approaching, could be just the golden ticket you need to help beat the bloat.

So what are some of the best options on the market? Not to worry, your friends here at The Stir tried out nine of today's top brands. The big question: If something's high in fiber, does that mean it can taste good too? We had faith!

From Fiber One and Kashi to Luna and Kind bars -- check out which bars came out on top in our taste test, here:

So we've all been there -- with the peanut butter jar in one hand, and anything from pretzels to a spoonful of chocolate chips in the other, dipping away. Right? That's because peanut butter makes pretty much everything better, and now, here's a way to make peanut butter even butter.

This incredible peanut butter dip recipe from Live Pretty will make you step away from the jar for good. It adds cream cheese, a little brown sugar, and oh yeah -- some caramel -- to make one irresistible dip. You can serve it with apples, crackers, or even drizzled atop a big chocolate brownie. Or, you can just eat it with a spoon if you're so moved.

There's a video going viral on the Internets right now, and you're totally going to be able to relate. You see, this guy bought some small bags of Lay's potato chips, and he is pissed. He opened them up, and there were only five chips and some crumbs. Five!

I admit to being surprised when he only counted out five, even though I'm fully aware of the big bag with no chips situation out there in the world. And his disappointment was infectious, to be sure. He's also cute, so I'm leaning towards his side on this issue.

However, if this guy doesn't want to wind up being crazy disappointed for the rest of his life, he may just have to adjust his expectations.

Look, he's totally showing you how little he's getting for his potato chip money.

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night. And he's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta have a can full of cheddar Pringles.

Meet the "Subway Snackman." When a fight broke out on a New York City subway one night, 24-year-old Charles Saunder stepped between the brawling couple to break it up. The potato chip peacekeeper kept munching on his Pringles and gummy bears, completely unfazed by the imminent threat of violence. Watch this crunching crusader in action. 

What is going on here?Happy National Grilled Cheese Day! Did you know that's today? Like I need another excuse to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich. As long as you're not lactose intolerant there is much to love about this non-holiday. Much indeed.

We already shared with you a full platter of scrumptious grilled cheese sandwiches ideas. But did you know there was a dark side to the classic? There are those who would twist the sandwich into something so unholy, so revolting, it's almost unrecognizable. Witness: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Gone Horribly Wrong.

Um -- yeah. I've always been just a little bit grossed out by the food served on airplanes (minus a few super awesome culinary delights in First Class), but the extra "protein" one Qantas Airlines passenger found while she was enjoying a bag of complimentary trail mix has a leg up on anyone who claims to have had a bad experience with airline food.

The woman was noshing on her nice, crunchy bag of snacks -- when she realized the trail mix was infested with maggots. Yes, I said maggots. As in those slimy little insects that look like worms but are way more disgusting. Excuse me while I throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Okay parents, Easter is just around the corner and you know what that means, right? CANDY BLIZZARD! It's snowing jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, Peeps. And even if you're not worried about the juvenile diabetes epidemic sweeping the country, you're at least not looking forward to Easter basket o' sugar crashes and gummy bear-induced tantrums. 

Personally, I'm okay with some Easter candy in moderation. But I don't like the holiday to turn into a week-long candy orgy. So -- what can I use to balance out the serious sugar action in my son's Easter basket this year? Here are a few ideas.
