Without the promise of sweets, mouths would never have the patience to stay open during dentist appointments or closed during beekeeping demonstrations. Keep mouths copacetic with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of cheesecake slices and mini cheesecake cups at Carole's Cheesecake Company. This Groupon is valid at the Castlefield Avenue and Cumberland Street locations.
Carole's Cheesecake Company's expert baking team uses halal-certified, preservative-free ingredients to handcraft a daily changing selection of delectable desserts, including cheesecakes and mini cheesecake cups. Customers can stuff their gobs or shirt pockets with individual cake slices ($5+); offerings include the caramel-brownie varietal, a circular wall of chocolate surrounding a lifeguard-supervised pool of buttery caramel. Meanwhile, groups of cherries jitterbug atop a New York–style vanilla cheesecake, and mousse-covered chocolate cheesecake rests on a cookie base. Carole's also bakes eight flavours of low-sugar mini cheesecakes ($2.50) and noncheesecake selections such as banana cake topped with fresh banana slices.
The bakery's sleek, modern interiors brim with colourful floral arrangements, black marble countertops, and glass display cases, allowing customers to make blowfish faces at the day's selections.

The Groupon Guide to: Home DNA Tests
The science of genetics has come a long way since 1860, when Gregor Mendel accidentally discovered genes after some of his peas came to life and begged to be put out of their misery. Now, you can take your own at-home DNA test by swabbing the inside of your cheek and placing the sample in a clay oven overnight. Evaluate your results with the following criteria:
• If your salivary sample has dissipated by the next morning, it wasn't human DNA to begin with. Consult a veterinarian.
• If your sample has blossomed into tree-like foam, the number of branches corresponds to the number of times in your life you can ride in an airplane without crashing.
• If your sample has melted into a pool of chocolate-scented fluid, then you'll live to be 100! Or die within the next week, whichever comes first.• If your sample begins speaking to you in the voice of your paternal grandfather, don't follow its advice. Its homespun, Depression-era wisdom won't help you in today's technodriven cyber-society.• If your sample has hardened into an egg, crack it open. There's an emerald inside!
