- Pros: Loads of fun, smart trivia
- Cons: None
I became addicted to Mental Floss short articles online. I love the fun, quirky fact pieces so much that I decided to support their print mag. Every edition is full of science, history, and pop culture facts - plus the articles are generally short enough that you can relax for 10 minutes in between kid dropoff/pickup/activities and finish a few. You get smarter while you wait! My oldest child is 8, and we always found several things in Mental Floss that were appropriate and relevant to her studies in school, as well. She loves fun facts as much as I do, and I genuinely enjoyed sharing Mental Floss with her.

- Pros: Easy-Fun to Read
- Cons: only 6 issues a Year
I originally read my first Mental Floss magazine after checking it out from the local library. Couldn't put it down, it was so much fun to read. The writers introduce new and interesting facts with witty and clever stories. I have gained so much knowledge just from reading this magazine. It is appropriate for older kids that can understand the vocabulary. I haven't ever found anything that is offensive, but if you were concerned the magazine is a quick read to proof prior to letting your children read the articles. It really is a great source if you write speeches or need a topic to write a report about for school. My husband and I have been subscribing for 2 years and fight when the new issue arrives.

Mental Floss magazine is simply the best title out there for the random knowledge junkies and 'Jeopardy' freaks among us. Nowhere else can you find such riveting yet useless info. Be wary of bathroom reading, your legs may fall asleep. Uncle John has nothing on this magazine. Clean between your cerebral cortex with Mental Floss!
