From Ancient Spells to Modern Self-Help: Do Magic Words Have Power?
Abracadabra! Ichita copita melaka mystica! Please? Whether you’re casting a spell, begging for an extension, or just trying to get someone to pass the guac, you’ve probably used a “magic word” or two. But what if those words… actually worked?
In the latest episode of Otherwords, Dr. Erica Brozovsky dives into the origins and very real power of magic words. This is the history class Hogwarts should’ve offered.
We learn how Egyptian priests believed writing a request could literally make it real, and how Latin gave us classics like “abracadabra” (originally a treatment for malaria, not for conjuring rabbits). Plus, we find out that om chanting isn’t just for yoga class, it’s backed by science to calm nerves, lower blood pressure, and even help with pain.
Words have power: legally, socially, emotionally, even neurologically. As Muhammad Ali put it, “It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief.”
So if you’re waiting for your fairy godmother, maybe start with the next best thing: saying the magic words.
Hot Topic’s New Fantastic Four Line Is Superpowered Retro-Futuristic Streetwear
This summer, The Fantastic Four aren’t just hitting the big screen, they’re hitting your wardrobe, too!
Hot Topic has teamed up with Her Universe/Our Universe to drop a brand-new Fantastic Four: First Steps collection, and it’s got that delicious retro-futuristic vibe that screams “Marvel, but make it fashion.” Whether you’re Team Reed, rooting for Ben, vibing with Johnny, or channeling your inner Invisible Woman (you know, when you want to disappear from awkward social situations), this line has something heroic for you.
Our personal faves? The Sue Storm Uniform Girls Sweater, which looks like it was pulled straight from the Baxter Building (but cozier), and the matching uniform jacket and sweatpants set that says, “I may be running errands, but I could also save the multiverse if needed.”

What Actually Is Yoo-hoo? A Sweet Mystery Wrapped in a Brown Liquid Cloak
Yoo-hoo isn’t chocolate milk… it’s chocolate… something. It looks like brown water, tastes like childhood, and has the shelf life of a Twinkie crossed with a science fair project. Born in 1920s New Jersey thanks to a fruit juice guy (Natale Olivieri) and his tomato-canning wife (yes, really), Yoo-hoo was engineered to survive without a fridge, because nothing screams “refreshing” like a beverage that thrives in a glove box.
So, what is Yoo-hoo drink, exactly? It rose from local oddity to Yankee Stadium icon, thanks to baseball legend Yogi Berra, who endorsed it and became a VP, proving anyone can run a chocolate empire with enough weird slogans. Ingredients include water, cocoa, whey, and a suspicious number of stabilizers. But don’t think too hard, just enjoy the nostalgic vibes!
So if you’ve ever sipped one and thought, “What am I drinking?”, congrats. You’re drinking Yoo-hoo. And possibly a little bit of history. Maybe even Pope-approved. Allegedly. And if you’ve never tasted it, now’s your chance: grab some online right here.
