Well, this incident, which took place in Florida, US, might make you think twice before eating outside. Haile M Kirkland, in a Facebook post, shared how she found a cockroach cooked with her chicken at a food outlet, located at Nine Mile Road in Pensacola. That's not it.

He plugged the refrigerator into one and a power strip into the second, which was soon powering lamps, fans and a television. The Fergusons' setup was more rudimentary than the Lightning's design allows — Ford's top-of-the-line in-home charger will automatically start powering an entire house if the truck is plugged in during a blackout — but it was good enough for them to cook beef stew on an electric stovetop and, afterwards, to ...
