I've brought meal-replacement/-augment powders with me on travels, usually in a large plastic jar, usually off-white coloured powders.
On XRays it looks like liquids, so always take it out of your carry-on (don't put it in your checked-in luggage).
Best experience yet was in Poland, where an officer opened the jar and sniffed it - I had to bite down on my lip to keep from laughing out loud from the look on his face (it smells...bad'ish), though I'm sure he noticed I found it amusing. He proceeded to ask me to taste it, to indicate that it was indeed edible, which I did.

We had an on-TV competition back home, to find the first person from our country to "go into space" (non-orbital), ticket paid by the TV show!
Some woman won, and was told she would be the first one

G+ is a thing - might not be to you, but it is a thing.
A school-district in Denmark (Odder) is reporting ca 15% breakage, with an average cost-per-incident of around 200USD.
This has resulted in first-year costs being ca 2x of what was expected.
Of course, the circles are very small, since no one else uses google+.
Is good no-one else uses Google+ - the 10-50 daily posts in my stream is more than enough! Good thing I turn off updates from communities.
