The United States has plenty of good things going for it — from food to sports to culture — but it doesn't have everything.

Most Americans have never tasted the wonders of brown sauce from the UK, for example, and they've probably never seen a high-flying match of sepak takraw, a sport popular in Southeast Asia.

Here's a sampling of 11 things that you usually won't find in America:

Brown sauce

People from the United Kingdom are familiar with brown sauce, a condiment similar to American steak sauce that's available at many restaurants. HP Sauce's brown sauce, a tangy variety made from tomatoes and vinegar, is especially popular.

Sinks with two faucets

In most places, including the United States, sinks have just one faucet. In the United Kingdom, it's common for them to have two, one for hot water and one for cold. 

Subway delay certificates

In the United States, you can blame public transportation delays for making you late to work, but that doesn't mean you'll get any sympathy from your boss.

But in two countries, Germany and Japan, railway companies issue official delay certificates to passengers who were delayed by five minutes or more during their commutes. The documentation can then be presented at work or school as a valid reason for one's tardiness.

By mid-1940, Nazi Germany had swept over Western Europe, conquering France and holding territory from the English Channel to Norway.

That summer, Hitler and the German Luftwaffe turned their attention to Britain, with the Nazi dictator aiming to use his air forces to soften up the country for an eventual ground invasion — codenamed Operation Sea Lion.

In its way stood Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the recently formed RAF Fighter Command, which could field the Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire, some of the best fighter aircraft in the world at the time.

The Battle of Britain raged in the skies above southern England from early July until the end of October 1940 (though the Germans see that period as part of a larger aerial campaign). Nazi fighters and bombers raked the English countryside, cities, ports, and airfields with bullets and bombs.

On September 15, the RAF achieved a seminal victory, downing 56 Luftwaffe planes while losing 28.

Two days later, Hitler postponed Sea Lion "until further notice." He kept invasion forces at high readiness, but Sea Lion was finally scrapped in February 1942.

Even with the invasion looking less likely, Nazi Germany continued to launch attacks on England — some of which would claim thousands of lives in and around London in a night — carrying out the Blitz from late 1940 to mid-1941, when Hitler redeployed his air forces to participate in the invasion of Russia.

Field guns preparing to defend against possible invasion, with nonstop training in all kinds of warfare going at military centers all over Britain, July 9, 1940. During training, a mimic battle was held during which a creeping barrage was laid down and machine-gun nests and other strong points were attacked.

A dead German pilot lies in the wreckage of his Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber, which was brought down over Sussex during the Battle of Britain, in August 1940.

Skies over England were the broad canvas on which was painted the picture of war. Here, a German raider wheels through bursts of antiaircraft fire above a southeast coastal area in England. At the right, a barrage balloon falls in flames during the same attack on August 11, 1940.

• Toyota won six categories, the most of any automaker, while General Motors came in second by winning five categories.

The used car market can be difficult to navigate. Sometimes, it's tough to tell if a seller is unloading a car because it's time for an upgrade, or because there's something wrong with it.

J.D. Power helps consumers get a sense of which cars are most likely to retain their value with its annual vehicle dependability study, which measures how much customers like their cars over time. This year's survey, which was released in February, collected feedback from 38,896 respondents who had owned a 2015 model-year vehicle for three years and determined the most reliable cars in 19 categories. The resulting data was used to determine the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles. The lower the score, the more reliable the car is.

Toyota won six categories, the most of any automaker, while General Motors came in second by winning five categories.

These are the winners in each of the 19 categories.

All twelve boys and their coach have been safely rescued from the flooded cave complex in northern Thailand, and are expected to be reunited by Tuesday evening.

But their harrowing journeys aren't over yet, as they have to go through a tough recovery in a nearby hospital — which involves being quarantined in a sterilized unit, wearing protective sunglasses, eating porridge and having TVs they can't switch on.

Scroll down to see how they are recovering.

A diet of bread, chocolate, and plain rice porridge.

The first four boys extracted from the cave asked for pad kra pao, a fried rice dish and chicken and basil, but have not been allowed to eat it.

Instead, they have been given soft, plain and non-spicy food, like rice congee, to aid their recovery, one of their doctors told reporters on Tuesday morning. They have also been given bread and chocolate.

While in the cave, the boys and their coach wrote handwritten notes to their families asking them to prepare fried chicken and BBQ pork when they got out.

Kept in quarantine, and only allowed to see their family through the window.

The boys have been kept in a sterilized isolation unit, and are being monitored for infections or contagious diseases.

The first four boys to be extracted from the cave and enter hospital — who were reportedly the weakest— have been allowed to see their families through a glass window.

Doctors are also setting up a phone line inside the boys' rooms so they can speak to their parents.

Of the first four boys who were taken out, two were being treated for a "minor" lung infection and were stabilized with antibiotics.

Here's what their hospital room looks like, according to CNN:

Wearing protective sunglasses.

The boys have had to wear protective sunglasses, to help their eyes have adjust to normal levels of light after spending two weeks in the cave's darkness.

The first four boys have taken those off, but the second group who were rescued on Monday are still wearing them.

On Friday, "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" passed several films on this list to become one of the fastest movies to earn $1 billion at the global box office.

The "Jurassic World" sequel accomplished this feat in well under a month, which only 14 other films have ever done, including 2015's "Jurassic World."

Universal's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" is one of three movies to cross the $1 billion mark just this year. Disney's "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Infinity War" both stormed on to this list earlier this year.

• Whataburger is a Texas burger chain with a cult following. 
• As an East Coaster, I'd never visited Whataburger — until a recent road trip. 
• After eating at Whataburger, I understood why Texans are obsessed with the chain.

The legend of Whataburger has spread far beyond Texas. 

Whataburger has a larger-than-life presence in the Lone Star State — it's a regional burger chain that shines bright as a point of pride in a region that's better known for its Tex-Mex. Even first lady Melania Trump had to stop by Whataburger when she visited Texas in December.

However, as a New York City dweller, I had never visited Whataburger. Sure, I've tried almost every burger chain in the business — Shake Shack, Five Guys, even In-N-Out — but Whataburger had remained a mystery. 

So, on a recent road trip that started in Dallas, Texas, I decided it was time to find out what I had been missing.

Here is a coastal elite's take on a Texas chain that has the grit to take on any burger chain on either side of the Mississippi:

The first thing that catches my eye when entering Whataburger is the variety on the menu. What burger should I get? Did I need to try some chicken? Fries or onion rings?? I'm overwhelmed — and, according to my editor, I make a fatal mistake by failing to order taquitos, a rare find at a burger chain.

Fortunately, Whataburger's service has a soothing quality. The workers give me a number to take to my table, and promise that food will follow.

An employee even brings over ketchup options for me! Honestly, I'm not sure if they're this nice to everyone or they can tell I'm flustered after driving through Dallas' maze of highways following five years of traveling exclusively via public transportation, but it's appreciated either way. The spicy ketchup is also very good — a classic with a kick.

The line between fitness trackers and smartwatches is blurring as smartwatches offer more fitness tools. While devices like the Apple Watch Series 3 and the Fitbit Versa are strong choices for tracking your daily activity, we decided to stay in the fitness tracker realm for this guide.

Those looking for a device dedicated to tracking daily activity, workouts, and sleep have a vast number of choices even without including members of the smartwatch family. To help you decide on the best fitness tracker for your needs, there are a few things you’ll want to take into consideration:

• Comfort and design: Since you’ll be wearing your tracker on a daily basis (even to bed if you want to track sleep) comfort is definitely a priority. If it’s not comfortable, you won’t want to wear it often, which defeats the whole purpose of a fitness tracker. The same goes for design. If you have a small wrist, you may want a tracker with a sleek and more understated look. Or maybe the display is most important to you, and you like the idea of being able to read the time and date as well as your fitness stats. Fitness trackers come in all shapes and sizes, so you’ll be able to find one that suits your style.
• Features: Not all fitness trackers are created equal when it comes to this arena. If you’re looking for a no-frills fitness tracker, then one that tracks steps and your sleep might suffice. However, if you work out often or want more insights into how your activity impacts your overall fitness level, a more advanced tracker with a heart rate monitor or a built-in GPS may be the one for you. You should also consider the types of workouts you like to do. For example, if you’re a swimmer, waterproofing is a must. Just starting out on your fitness journey? A device that gives you coaching and goals to work towards may be the extra motivation you need to stay on track.
• App experience: Most fitness trackers are designed to work in tandem with your smartphone, syncing the data collected with a downloaded application. This allows you to gain even more insight into your health and save the information collected to track your progress over time. Unfortunately, not all apps are created equal, and you may find there are some app experiences you prefer over others. It’s important to choose a fitness tracker that gives you a good app experience. Easy navigation and compatibility with your phone’s operating system are a must.

There are many factors to consider, but we also tested multiple devices and analyzed the reviews to find the best fitness trackers you can buy. Whether you’re interested in advanced workout stats, or simply want a general overview of your activity for the day, our list features fitness trackers with a wide range of capabilities so you can find the one best suited to your lifestyle.

The best fitness tracker overall

Why you'll love it: The Garmin Vivosport is a great all-around fitness tracker with accurate step counting and heart rate data that can give you an in-depth analysis of your fitness.

The Garmin Vivosport packs an impressive number of features into a sleek band with a color display. I got to test the Vivosport myself and can confidently say that it lives up to the positive reviews it has received and it will be my personal go-to fitness tracker.

The first thing I noticed was how comfortable the Vivosport is for daily wear. I loved the slim design, which is much appreciated because I have small wrists that are dwarfed by most wearables. The screen is a bit small, but the 72 x 144-pixel resolution allowed me to clearly read any information that appeared on the screen, and the color display was a nice added touch. 

I like a fitness tracker that can also double as a watch, and within the Garmin app you can choose from different watch faces, so I could decide how I wanted the time and date displayed. The screen was easy to navigate, though I did notice it could be a bit sensitive at times, and it was easy to swipe to a screen I didn’t mean to land on. Overall, this was a minor annoyance, and I would much rather have the screen be sensitive than unresponsive. The screen is always on, too, so you can see the time or your stats without tapping to wake it up.

The Vivosport comes in two sizes: Small/Medium and Large. While it doesn’t come with a lot of style options (you can’t change out bands) it does come in a few different color schemes.

The fact that this tracker has a built-in GPS was a huge benefit to me as a runner. I loved that the Vivosport easily doubled as my running watch, tracking the distance I ran without needing the use of my phone’s GPS. I could leave my phone at home if I chose to do so.

Along with the GPS, it also features heart rate monitoring, VO2 fitness testing, stress monitoring, stairs climbed, steps taken, and sleep tracking. In addition, the Vivosport has built-in sports modes that include running, cycling, cardio training, and strength training. Swimmers can rejoice as well, because the Vivosport is also waterproof. I jumped in the shower with it many a time with no issues.

The battery life is also impressive. While Garmin says it can last up to 7 days, with using the GPS on my runs, I found mine lasted closer to 4 days before I had to charge it. 

As far as app experience goes, I found the Garmin Connect app easy to navigate, and loved how detailed the stats were when it came to my daily activity as well as my workouts. I had no issues with it, and liked how neatly everything was laid out on the home page. You can click on each section to reveal a “boatload of stats” as DC Rainmaker says in his review.

The Vivosport also receives smartphone notifications. When turned on, you’ll be notified via the tracker of any reminders, calls text messages, and social media notifications you receive. These can be turned off completely, or customized through the app.

Overall, the customer reviews are positive when it comes to the Vivosport. Like myself, this reviewer loves how it can double as a daily fitness tracker as well as her running watch, while this loyal Garmin customer was impressed with all of the features.

Out of all the trackers I tested, I kept coming back to the Vivosport. It’s an accurate and comfortable tracker with a slew of features that don’t disappoint. 

Pros: Accurate tracking, built-in GPS and heart rate monitor, built in sports apps, stress monitoring, long battery life, waterproof, easy to navigate app, smartphone notifications

Cons: Doesn’t have a lot of style options, small and overly sensitive screen

The best no-frills fitness tracker

Why you'll love it: If you’re looking for a simple fitness tracker that doesn’t necessarily have to be worn on your wrist, the Misfit Ray won’t disappoint. 

The Mifit Ray’s design takes a detour from the usual fitness trackers that often look more like watches. Instead, it looks more like a futuristic piece of jewelry — but not an unflattering one. Despite veering into the realm of wearable jewelry, it still maintains a unisex aesthetic that will make it appealing to everyone.

Though I typically prefer a tracker that has a screen and can double as a watch, the comfortable and lightweight feel of the Ray was welcome, and I liked that it was something I could wear along with a watch or other bracelets. Style didn’t get forgotten during the design of this tracker. It comes in multiple colors, with different band choices, and the option to wear it as a pendant rather than a bracelet.

The Ray doesn’t have a heart rate tracker, but while this may be a downside to some, it allows it to be worn in multiple ways while still tracking your steps and activity. It also lacks some of the more advanced features of other trackers, like stress measuring or a built-in GPS, but don’t be fooled — the Ray still has plenty to offer. It’s water resistant up to 50 meters, tracks your sleep, receives text message and call alerts, and will automatically start tracking activities like running.

I was skeptical about how accurate the sleep tracking would be, or if it would truly be able to tell if I was running or not, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m a light sleeper, and it accurately showed the number of times I woke up during the night, and it could also sense when I was on a run, and tracked the time accordingly. I also liked that the Ray doesn’t require any charging. Instead, it’s powered by three button cell batteries that will last up to six months.

Since it doesn’t have a display, the free Misfit app is a must-have to be able to see all your data. The cylinder that houses this data does have a small multicolored LED light that will blink to show you the progress you’ve made, and it will also vibrate and light up to remind you to move or when you’re receiving a phone notification. I found the app well-organized and easy to navigate and liked how I could see all my stats for the day on one screen, and see how I slept on another.

This reviewer loves the design, the accurate sleep tracking, and the ability to use the Ray as an alarm. I also liked this feature — it was far less jarring to be woken up by a wrist vibration than my usual blaring iPhone alarm. Design was also a winning feature for this reviewer, who found it so comfortable they forgot they were wearing it. They also like that they don’t have to worry about charging it.

Some reviewers do argue that the Ray costs too much for what it does, but if you are looking for a simple tracker, it gets the job done while offering a few surprising features you might not expect to find.

Pros: Comfortable design, can be worn different ways, easy to navigate app, step tracking, accurate sleep tracking, automatic activity tracking, call and text notifications

Cons: No heart rate monitoring, on the expensive side for what it does offer

Buy the Misfit Ray on Amazon for $64.95 to $99.99

Best fitness tracker for workouts

Why you'll love it: If exercising is part of your routine, you’ll love being able to track your workout in real time on the bright, easy-to-read screen of the Fitbit Charge 2.

The Fitbit Charge 2 is the successor to the Charge HR. The screen on the Charge 2 is now four times bigger, and the touchscreen can be activated with a tap. You can also use the button on the side to go through menu options.

Though it has a bigger screen, this tracker still manages not to be too overly bulky, even on my small wrist. I found the wristband to be extremely comfortable, and love that Fitbit offers a ton of different colors and interchangeable band options.

While I would have liked built-in GPS here, the Charge 2 does offer connected GPS via your smartphone for walking, running, and hiking while you’re outdoors so you do have the option to track your distance in more than just steps. 

In addition to tracking steps like any good fitness tracker should, the Charge 2 also measures stairs climbed, calories burned, resting and active heart rate, and offers in-depth sleep tracking. I really loved how the Charge 2 not only tracked when I was asleep, restless, or awake but also showed me which type of sleep I was in: light, deep, or REM. It was also interesting to be able to see where I stood on average with other women around my age within the app.

If you’re feeling stressed, this tracker also offers breathing exercises to help you relax — something else I very much appreciated after a long day of work. The battery life of the Charge 2 also impressed me. I could go almost six days without having to reach for the charger, even with using all the different functions, which include text and call notifications from your smartphone if you so choose.

Diving into more of the workout features, the Charge 2 has dedicated functions for recording a wide range of activities, including running, cycling, cardio, and strength training. Its large display is perfect for tracking your results in real time while working out. I could quickly check my heart rate to make sure I was within the range I wanted to be, and see how far I was into my workout with the timer.

When I’m not running, I’m a big fan of interval training and HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workouts, so when I discovered that the Charge 2 has an interval timer option, I was pretty thrilled. It also lets you pause and resume workouts, and if you do forget to start an activity or workout it can automatically detect an activity session and start monitoring it.

Another huge winning point for the Charge 2 is the Fitbit app. Out of all the trackers I tested, I still found that Fitbit has the most user-friendly app. It’s easy to navigate and offers plenty of useful information to help you get the most out of your fitness tracker.

Both the app and the Charge 2 itself have received positive reviews, and it has been a welcome upgrade to those who owned the original Charge HR. If you’re not a swimmer and built-in GPS isn’t important to you, then the Charge 2 is arguably one of the most reliable fitness trackers on the market right now for tracking specific workouts and activities, as well as getting a better overall picture of your daily activity.

Pros: Comfortable design, lots of color and band options, large display, built-in heart rate monitor, in-depth sleep tracking, advanced workout features, real-time workout tracking on screen, long battery life, user-friendly app

Cons: No built-in GPS, not waterproof

Buy the Fitbit Charge 2 on Amazon for $119.99 (originally $148.95)

Finding great new places to eat is exhilarating, especially when you have good company to do it with.

The more you know about where — and what — you're eating, the better choices you'll be empowered to make. Whether you're looking at menus or just making casual conversation, knowledge can be the most delicious power of all.

We rounded up some of the biggest myths about restaurant food that you may still be believing.

MYTH: Only sparkling wine made according to a specific process and made in Champagne, France, can legally be called "champagne."

TRUTH: This is true everywhere else in the world — except the US, according to Vine Pair.

The reason dates back to the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I — and some complicated back-and-forth between the US and France about this touchy subject. Due to a massive loophole when the US signed this treaty — but never ratified it in the Senate — the law didn't apply to winemakers in the US.

Since the wine industry here didn't start to pick up postwar steam until the 1970s, it wasn't much of a problem until then. Once production picked up, the European Commission and the US entered trade talks about wine labeling matters in 1983.

Negotiations didn't conclude until 2005, when the US finally agreed that "champagne" and several other 'semi-generic' wine type names would no longer appear on US winemaker labels — except if a given wine producer had already been selling them under that name. If a winemaker had used certain terms including "champagne" on labels prior to March 10, 2006 — they could continue to do so indefinitely.

MYTH: GMO crops are a relatively recent and inherently unhealthy thing created by mad scientists — and sold with wild abandon.

TRUTH: In 2015, scientists at the International Potato Center in Lima, Peru found genetic evidence that showed sweet potatoes were first genetically modified — by Mother Nature, using bacteria — around 8,000 years ago, according to NPR.

This, in turn, is likely what led farmers to domesticate this crop and turn the many varieties of sweet potato found around the world into the important global food source that they are today. For generations, humans around the world have been eating and gaining nutrition from genetically modified crops with little to no uproar about it.

MYTH: "Kobe beef" and "wagyu beef" are completely interchangeable terms that mean the same thing.

TRUTH: Any rancher in the US can tell you about the different breeds of cattle that are commonly found here. The same is true in Japan — "wagyu" is simply a term that means a very generic "Japanese cow."

There are four Japanese cattle breeds currently recognized as wagyu, according to Food and Wine. Japanese Black is where Kobe beef comes from, but there are also Japanese Shorthorn, Japanese Polled, and Japanese Brown cows. Plenty of other Japanese cattle breeds exist and are delicious — Miyazaki beef was even ranked higher than Kobe at Japan's most important wagyu judging event.

It gets even more confusing once you get out of Japan. In Japan, "wagyu" refers to purebred Japanese cattle not crossed with, say, US cattle. However, in the US, "wagyu" as defined by the US Department of Agriculture refers to any cattle that is at least 46.875% comprised of a Japanese wagyu breed.

Lima is a gorgeous city. It sits along the western coast of Peru, its beaches kissed by the Pacific Ocean.

It's no surprise that Lima is known for ceviche — a dish that consists of fresh, raw seafood that's cured in citrus juice, mixed with raw red onion, and bolstered by aji chilies (a spicy pepper similar to a Fresno chili).

It's a dish that brings together much of what defines Peruvian cuisine.

Ceviche is a great representation of Peru's vast ecological diversity. There's the Andean region, which stretches above the clouds (and provides starchy potatoes); the coastal regions, teeming with fresh seafood; and vast stretches in between.

Central Restaurante, the No. 6 restaurant in the world according to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy, takes the concept of representing Peru's bio-diversity to a far more serious extreme. Perhaps you saw the restaurant featured in the latest season of "Chef's Table" on Netflix? 

Whether you did or not doesn't matter — I ate at Central in 2017 while on vacation in Peru, and I'm here to tell you what that bizarre experience was like.

DON'T MISS: What it's like visiting one of the world's greatest treasures: Machu Picchu

Central is in one of the fanciest neighborhoods in Lima: Miraflores.

Miraflores is a gorgeous neighborhood that sits alongside the Pacific Ocean. Apartment buildings and corporate offices overlook the water, while tourists and locals shop and eat below. 

Among the Brooks Brothers and Chili's outlets (really!) is the subtle visage of Central, on a side street tucked a few blocks from the ocean. There's no huge sign, no menu out front — you can only tell you're in the right place because of an employee out front who's looking for you. 

Oh, and there was a ridiculously fancy car parked out front. That was another good sign.

It's literally blocks from the Pacific Ocean.

I'd strongly suggest a jaunt along the waterfront before heading to Central. It's a gorgeous view, and certainly part of the joy of visiting Central — you're right there! It seems foolish not to enjoy the waterfront first.

When we entered Central and were seated, the first thing I noticed is how open and bright the dining room and kitchen are. I could see directly into the open kitchen whenever I wanted.

Even though Central is outrageously expensive, and even though it's rated as one of the best restaurants in the world, there's little pretension in the experience. Our waiter was friendly, happy to joke about the somewhat-ludicrous eating experience we were having. That's a far cry from places like Masa and Eleven Madison Park, to say nothing of supper club steakhouses, which traffic in pretension and pomp.

Other dorms have bathrooms right in the unit, but if you're sharing one bathroom with four other girls like I did during my first two years of college, you'll still need a shower caddy to carry all your products.

Most people just buy whatever shower caddy they see first during their last-minute dorm shopping spree, but they often end up with a shower caddy that doesn't really fit their needs. You really only need to think about the shower caddy's design, so here are the main ones we cover in this guide:

• Plastic caddy: Plastic caddies are durable, sturdy, easy to clean, and they won't get water damage. We recommend the ones with compartments because the different sections make it easy to store everything from shampoo and conditioner to toothpaste and your razor. The main downside is that they're not flexible or easy to store.
• Mesh totes: Mesh shower totes are easy to carry, durable, and often less cumbersome than plastic caddies. Some have pockets to hold products securely, and others just have one big compartment. The downside here is that some bags fall over when set down on the floor and not all mesh is mildew resistant.
• Fabric toiletry bag: Toiletry bags are more subtle than other shower caddies because they zip right up to look like a piece of luggage. When you unzip them, several pockets are revealed with all your products inside. Often, you can hang them on a door hook for easy access to all your products. The downside to these bags is that they're not waterproof, so if you can't hang yours up or set it down in a dry space, it may be problematic.

No matter what style you prefer, we have a pick for you in our buying guide. Our picks include two plastic shower caddy options, two mesh totes, and one toiletry bag. Read on to learn more about our top picks.

The best shower caddy overall

Why you'll love it: The InterDesign Orbz Shower Tote Holder and Organizer holds all your toiletries as you troop to the communal showers or shared bathroom.

TheInterDesign Orbz Shower Tote Holder and Organizer keeps all your shampoo, conditioner, face wash, and so on in place so you can carry it along with you into the communal showers or shared bathroom.

It's important to have one of these and to remove it from the shared bathroom (if you have one) when you're done each time so that you're never without your toothbrush in case your roommate stays in the shower for ten years. 

The InterDesign caddy can hold all sorts of products, thanks to its two big side compartments and its smaller organizer in the middle. The handles are relatively comfortable to hold, and there are air holes in the design to help your belongings dry out after your shower.

Perhaps the best part is that you can get it in a few colors, including black, coral, lemon, mint, and white. Buyers love this shower caddy, and it has an average star rating of 4.5. The only criticism buyers make is that the small version wasn't big enough for their needs, so take note of how big it is: The InterDesign caddy measures 11.75 by 6 by 12 inches.

Pros: Dividers keep products in place, nice handles, easy to carry, multiple sizes

Cons: A tad pricey

Buy the InterDesign Orbz Shower Tote Holder and Organizer on Amazon for $12.99 and up (price varies by color — originally $15.73)

The best plastic shower caddy

Why you'll love it: The Sterilite Bath Caddy has five compartments, a sturdy handle, and good drainage holes.

If you're not sold on our top pick, the Sterilite Bath Caddy is a great alternative. It's made of a tougher, stiffer plastic and it has a short handle in the middle, which is surrounded by five compartments.

The largest compartments on each side of the caddy easily hold shampoo, conditioner, and other large products. You'll also find two smaller compartments on one side of the handle and one medium one on the other side. The smallest sections are great for toothbrushes, toothpaste, and razors, while the medium one may hold a hairbrush or loofah.

Since it's likely to get a bit wet in the showers, the caddy has drainage holes at the bottom. You'll want to clean it from time to time, but plastic is easy to wipe down. It measures 15.2 by 9.8 by 9.5 inches, so it's a bit longer and wider than the InterDesign caddy.

Pros: Sturdy design, lots of compartments, good handle, drainage holes

Cons: Expensive

Buy the Sterilite Bath Caddy on Amazon for $15.95

The best toiletry bag

Why you'll love it: The L.L. Bean Personal Organizer Toiletry Bag is a discrete bag you can take with you to the communal showers on when you travel.

The L.L. Bean Personal Organizer Toiletry Bag holds tons of toiletries, but it zips them all up in a cool looking travel bag that you can take anywhere you roam. When you unzip it, it folds out to reveal all your products, and you can hang it up on the bathroom door.

You can store all your toiletries in the different-sized pockets. Some of them have zippers to keep your stuff in place. The largest section at the bottom should be able to hold full-size shampoo and conditioner bottles and then some. It also has mesh compartments to separate products better.

L.L. Bean sells it in several sizes, too, so you can pick whatever size is right for your needs. The large version measures 12½ by 11½ by 4 inches, and we expect it'll be the best size for most people. The medium version is good if you need something a tad smaller.

There's a removable mirror inside, too, and a hook for easy hanging on a door hook or rack. Some buyers say the large and family size bags are too big and heavy to hang properly without stretching awkwardly, so keep weight in mind when you buy the larger sizes.

One of the coolest things about the L.L. Bean Toiletry Bag is that you can use it later in life after college when you go on extended trips or vacations.

Pros: Attractive bag, tons of compartments, a hook to hang it, good for travel, multiple sizes and colors

Cons: Can be too heavy to hang, expensive

Buy the medium L.L. Bean Personal Organizer Toiletry bag on LLBean.com for $29.95

Buy the large L.L. Bean Personal Organizer Toiletry Bag on LLBean.com for $39.95

Buy the family size L.L. Bean Personal Organizer Toiletry Bag on LLBean.com for $49.95

Watching the Wimbledon Championships live is an experience like no other in sport.

Wimbledon is the oldest of the tennis majors and takes place at the prestigious All England Club every summer — usually for a two week period from late June to early July.

There are multiple matches going on at the same time, so fans who arrive early can enjoy tennis from 11 a.m. onwards.

However, the traditions at the tournament are what really makes it — from white outfits to Pimms to strawberries and cream.

Nowhere is this more apparently than in the VIP area, which adds a whole new element of grandeur to the sporting festivities — free Champagne included.

As Business Insider UK's Sports Reporter, I attended Wimbledon in the VIP area. Keep scrolling to see what it was like.

Welcome to the Wimbledon Championships, the oldest tennis tournament in the world and one of the most prestigious sports venues in England. As Business Insider UK's Sports Reporter, I was invited to a VIP day at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, so I decided to detail the experience from beginning to end.

I alighted at Southfields underground train station, which is on the District Line network and is approximately 45 minutes south-west of Business Insider's bureau in London. As soon as you get off the train, you immediately get caught up in the Wimbledon spirit as the station is decorated with themed advertisements.

Just outside the station there is a black cab taxi service that can shuttle fans to the Wimbledon gates, at a cost of £2.50 ($3.31) for a single trip. Not bad, to be fair.

For most people the words "eating disorder" call to mind a certain type of person: a young, white woman who starves herself until she looks alarmingly thin. That's how eating disorder (ED) patients are often portrayed in pop culture, anyway — think Janet in "Girl, Interrupted," Emma on "Degrassi," or Ellen in Netflix's "To the Bone." 

But that oft-recycled image of an ED sufferer isn't totally based in reality. It's a myth that only one type of person gets EDs. In fact, that's one of many myths that, together, obscure both the complexity of these diseases and the wide range of people they actually affect. 

INSIDER spoke with psychologist and eating disorder expert Dr. Margo Maine, who dispelled some of the most persistent myths surrounding the diseases. Here are eight to that need to be put to rest for good. 

MYTH: Eating disorders only affect women.

EDs are often viewed as diseases that affect only women. Up until 2013, men couldn't technically qualify for an anorexia diagnosis, since amenorrhea — loss of a menstrual period — used to be a key requirement for the disease, according to the Journal of Adolescent Health.  

The truth is that, although eating disorders are more common in women, men do get them. And the long-standing belief that they're a "feminine" problem may keep men with eating disorders from seeking treatment, according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA). It may even prevent doctors from noticing EDs in male patients. 

"Medical personnel often see a man who's got severe ED issues and they don't identify them at all because it's a man who is engaged in a lot of working out and exercise to try to change his body," Maine said. "We are so tolerant of men beating up their bodies that many physicians don't respond at all to the men who come in with excessive weight loss or exercise routines."

She added that sometimes ED symptoms can be different in men. They may not want to lose weight, for example, but they may be obsessed with appearing more muscular or sculpted. 

"Men do have the same range of EDs as women do. They can have anorexia, they can have bulimia, and they can have binge eating disorder and variations of the above," Maine added. "We are seeing a lot of men and we need to pay attention to that."

MYTH: Eating disorders only affect teenagers.

In pop culture, characters with EDs are almost always teenage girls. In real life, EDs occur across a much wider age spectrum.

"This set of diseases affects people of all ages, from very, very young through geriatrics," Maine said, adding that they're found in kids as young as 8. 

The most important takeaway is that EDs don't discriminate based on sex or age — or anything else, for that matter. 

 "They affect both sexes and all sexualities, too ... and every ethnicity, every culture, every socioeconomic group pretty much across the globe now," Maine said. "There's no one who's immune from an eating disorder and that's the first thing we have to talk about it."

MYTH: Eating disorders aren't a big deal.

Some hallmark ED symptoms — like obsession with weight — may seem superficial. But EDs can have serious effects on every organ system in the body.

On its website, NEDA offers an extensive breakdown of the potential health consequences of eating disorders. Eating too few calories can increase the risk for heart failure. Purging (either by self-induced vomiting or by laxative use) can throw off the body's electrolyte balance, also increasing heart failure risk. EDs can cause gastrointestinal issues like constipation, blocked intestines, and a ruptured stomach or esophagus. They can lead to bone loss, hypothermia, kidney failure. This is only a sampling of the complete list. 

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, according to NEDA — partly because some of these physical complications can be fatal, but also because some ED patients take their own lives.

"Many patients with EDs die by suicide," Maine said. "It's not just cardiac events and organ failure."

And even if an ED patient doesn't experience the most severe physical consequences, he's still dealing with emotional distress and an impaired quality of life, the NEDA website adds. 

An elite club of investors, entrepreneurs, and heirs that spans industries and countries demands only one qualification of its members: Have a fortune of at least $1 billion. 

The world's billionaires are tracked in real time by lists like Bloomberg's Billionaires Index and Forbes' World's Billionaires, which monitor net worths and recognize new members when their assets increase in value to surpass the billion-dollar mark. 

For years, the technology industry has dominated this list. It's churned out names like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, who were briefly the three richest people in the world in July, and have for years sustained spots in the Top 10. It seems the tech industry isn't slowing down on with regard to its contributions, either. 

As of January 2018, the tech sector has already created 11 billionaires, according to Bloomberg's Anne Vandermey. While it's a long way to the top, these co-founders have joined the ranks of the most well-known names in the world by creating a newly public, newly acquired, or newly funded tech company that helped push them over the top.

Here are the 11 newest billionaires in tech, and the events that helped get them there:

You don’t need to spend big bucks to see incredible views of the stars. All you really have to do is get away from civilization and visit one of the best places in the US to stargaze.

Here are 10 places you're guaranteed to see a spectacular night sky. 

Devil’s Tower National Monument, Wyoming offers unparalleled views.

The otherworldly landscape of Devil's Tower is etched into the minds of sci-fi fans, as the centerpiece of Steven Spielberg’s 1977 classic, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." You aren’t likely to see any UFO’s swirling around Devil’s Tower at night, but if you visit Wyoming’s most mysterious monument during the summer months, a glance up will treat you to views of a rising Milky Way Galaxy over an 867-foot tall monolith.

Staking out a site at the National Park Service’s Belle Fourche campground inside of the national monument will give you unhindered views of the tower for $20 per night, while the nearby Joyner Ridge Trail will place photographers far away from the light pollution and clamor of camp. Bring a flashlight, and take a twilight stroll along the trail while you wait for the galaxy to rise.

Head to Creede, Colorado for tacos and stargazing.

Located more than four hours by car from Denver, this Southern Colorado hideaway is a holdover from pioneer days. However, you won’t find streets littered with ski slopes and rocky candy shops in Creede. Instead, you’ll find elevated views of the stars atop Bachelor Loop Road, scattered among rolling vistas and abandoned mines.

Treat yourself to some of the finest tacos in the state at Kip’s Grill, before making your way up Bachelor Loop Road to soak in the views. Be warned: the road is narrow, unpaved, and steep in many places. If you’re afraid of heights, this is a view you’ll have to work for.

Looking for a pit-stop on the way? Swing by Great Sand Dunes National Park en route for a Sahara-like landscape unique among US national parks.

Mojave National Preserve, California offers a peaceful stargazing experience.

An hour’s drive south of Las Vegas, the Mojave National Preserve is home to an endless sea of sagebrush, sand, and Joshua trees. Bereft of national park status, the preserve sees far fewer visitors than the relatively close major parks at the Grand Canyon and Death Valley.

The National Park Service operates two, family-friendly campgrounds within the preserve; however, my best recommendation is to make for visitor’s center at Kelso Depot and ask a park ranger about dispersed camping areas. They’re likely to point you in the direction of a lonely fire pit hidden somewhere in the desert, and that’s where a sublime stargazing experience awaits.

Light is such a commodity here at night, that a set of party lights can illuminate your campground. And, in the Mojave, you’ll find the stars unobstructed, save for the peculiar Joshua trees or mountain peaks in the distance.

A college degree has been called "the new high school diploma" by Forbes, implying that to have a modicum of professional success you need at least a college degree.

But these celebrities, entrepreneurs, and artists have one thing in common: their success was not hindered by their lack of a college diploma.

Of the thousands of colleges and universities in the US, these five schools have produced a staggering amount of successful dropouts throughout the years, whether it's the founder of Facebook or a Disney princess.

Keep scrolling to see some of the most noteworthy college dropouts and where they (briefly) went to school.

Harvard University's most famous dropout is Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, but he's not the only success story sans diploma.

Another tech giant, Bill Gates, chose to forego graduation from the Ivy League school as well. 

Other notable alumni who didn't finish their time at Harvard: poet Robert Frost, Olympic athlete James B. Connolly, folk musicians Pete Seeger and Bonnie Raitt, composer and songwriter Cole Porter, and famed Boston actor Matt Damon.

Two prominent entrepreneurs didn't have the chance to "hook" their diplomas from the University of Texas at Austin.

Both Michael Dell, founder of the computer company Dell,  and John Mackey, founder and CEO of Whole Foods, dropped out of the University of Texas at Austin.

A former vice president failed out of Yale University twice — but he's in good company.

Actors Claire Danes, David Duchovny, and Paul Newman all didn't finish their studies at Yale. But perhaps most surprisingly, former Vice President Dick Cheney failed out of Yale twice before transferring to the University of Wyoming.

Sharks are fearsome and fascinating, but it's not always easy to separate fact from fiction when it comes to these cartilaginous fish.

Folklore surrounding sharks encompasses everything from the frequency of shark attacks to the healing properties and culinary usages of their fins. 

To set the record straight, here are 11 myths about sharks that you should stop believing. 

MYTH: Sharks eat humans.

Sharks primarily subsist on smaller fish and invertebrates. Bigger species will prey upon marine animals such as sea lions and seals.

MYTH: Sharks frequently attack people.

Of the more than 400 species that exist, only around a dozen — such as great whites and tiger sharks— have been known to fatally attack humans. On average, sharks attack 70 people a year, but only kill six. In 2017, there were 88 unprovoked shark attacks worldwide, of which five were fatal.

When attacks do occur, it's usually because a shark is curious or confused about why there's a person in the water. Following several attacks on surfers in recent years, some researchers have speculated that sharks might be developing a taste for human flesh. However, many sharks investigate food sources and unknown objects by taking exploratory bites.

MYTH: Sharks need to keep moving or they'll die.

While it's true that all sharks receive oxygen by having water pass over their gills, only some species need to be continuously moving to achieve this feat. 

The ancestors of the sharks we know today breathed via buccal pumping, a method that entails drawing water into the mouth and over the gills. Various species — including angel sharks, nurse sharks, and wobbegongs, which all stay close to the ocean floor — still rely on this method, which does not necessitate that they stay in motion. 

Species that are more active, like the sand tiger shark, can oscillate between buccal pumping and another technique called ram ventilation. By swimming fast, they're able to force water into their mouths. 

But some sharks — such as great whites, whale sharks, mako sharks, and salmon sharks — cannot use buccal pumping at all. Called obligate ram breathers, these species will, in fact, drown if they stop swimming. 

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are arguably the most endearing couple in Hollywood right now. They're both accomplished actors with style and humor, and their two young daughters make their family even more adorable.

The couple is going on six years of marriage this September, but Lively had to kiss a few frogs before finding her *prince* (or anti-hero, technically). The list is not very long, with only four significant others making the cut, but it is distinguished. Lively said herself in a 2012 interview with Elle that she's selective about who she dates — and clearly, that approach has served her well.

Keep reading for your full guide to Blake Lively's love life, pre-Reynolds.

Kelly Blatz (2004 – 2007)

Blatz and Lively dated for three years, according to E! News, in what was arguably her most low-key relationship of the four. Blatz's résumé is brief, but you may recognize him as Brandon Luke in "Fear the Walking Dead" or most recently from season one of "The Good Doctor" as Aidan Coulter, a potential love interest for Allegra Aoki (Tamlyn Tomita).

Penn Badgley (2008 – 2010)

"Gossip Girl" fans everywhere rejoiced when Dan Humphrey and Serena Van Der Woodsen took their romance from television to real life. According to Teen Vogue, the two kept their relationship uber private before breaking it off in 2010, but remained friends and continued to work together on "Gossip Girl" for another two years.

Ryan Gosling (October 2010)

Reynolds isn't the first Ryan that Lively has been linked to. This (extremely) brief fling was never confirmed, but it was rumored that Lively and Gosling were seeing each other after they were spotted together at Disneyland in October of 2010, according to E!. Although nothing official ever became of it, Lively has expertly trolled Reynolds with his Hollywood twin.

• Meghan Markle has access to the royal family's jewelry collection as the Duchess of Sussex.
• Her engagement ring contains two of Princess Diana's diamonds.
• She wore a tiara from Queen Elizabeth at the royal wedding.
• Her wedding ring is Welsh gold as per royal tradition.

Upon marrying into the royal family, Meghan Markle gained access to one of the world's most enviable jewelry boxes.

W Magazine reported that Markle's collection of jewelry alone is worth $700,000 — and that's not including the $600,000 tiara she wore for her wedding.

From her engagement to her wedding to her first outing with the queen, Markle's royal heirlooms make the best accessories.

Here are five pieces from the royal family's jewelry collection that Markle has worn.

Prince Harry designed Markle's engagement ring with two stones from Princess Diana's collection.

Markle's engagement ring is a "jewel of inestimable value," Sophie Lomax, head of design at 77 Diamonds told Business Insider. Two of the diamonds came from Princess Diana's collection, the other from Botswana, where the couple vacationed together.

Queen Elizabeth loaned Markle a $600,000 tiara for the royal wedding.

The Daily Mail reported that the tiara Markle wore on her wedding day was made for Queen Elizabeth's grandmother, Queen Mary, in 1932, and is believed to be worth $600,000.

Her wedding ring is made of Welsh gold, a royal tradition dating back nearly a century.

For nearly a century, the royal family has used rare Welsh gold to make their wedding rings. According to Town & Country, King George VI received a nugget of Welsh gold from the Clogau mine in Wales in 1923 that has been used to make wedding rings for Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and Kate Middleton. 

Marlene Koenig, a British and European royalty expert, told the publication that the original nugget is "largely exhausted," but that the queen has acquired more Welsh gold during her reign.

In keeping with tradition, Markle's Welsh gold ring was a gift from the queen. Prince Harry opted for a platinum ring with a textured finish, instead.
