Just over three years after Alex Trebek passed away, Jeopardy! has returned to having just one permanent host. Mayim Bialik skipped the final week of Season 39 to stand in solidarity with the striking writers, and it was announced last week that she will not be returning to Jeopardy! Continuity is the reason Sony gave for making the decision to move forward with Ken Jennings as the sole host of the syndicated episodes, and it looks like a lot of the game show’s fans are having the same response.

Ken Jennings and The Big Bang Theory alum shared hosting duties in Seasons 38 and 39, and while we suspected it might be longer than we thought before Bialik was able to return to the Alex Trebek Stage after the strikes, it turns out she has already seen her final game as a permanent host….

Claims on Facebook and Instagram, which have been very widely shared, describe a mixture of honey and turmeric (with or without garlic) as “The Most Powerful” or “Most Potent” antibiotic. This is misleading.

After Full Fact contacted a number of accounts who had shared the claims, several posts were deleted. One of the now deleted posts was from Instagram account Best Folk Medicine, which has over a million followers on Facebook where it has posted the claim several times. Some other images posted with the claim are watermarked as being from this account. A post was also deleted from account yoursecretremedies, which has 89,000 followers but another with the same claim remains.

While the foods in question—especially honey—seem to have some antibacterial…

Infosys has made it to the TIME Magazine’s list of the World’s Best Companies of this year as the only Indian firm to do so.

It ranked 64th out of 750 global companies.

Top 20

The first four spots were all unsurprisingly occupied by big tech – Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet and Meta Platforms.

Accenture, Pfizer, American Express, Electricite de France, BMW Group, Dell Technologies, LVMH Moet Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Delta Air Lines, Enel, Starbucks Corp, Volkswagen Group, General Motors, Elevance Health, Bosch, Ford, Johnson & Johnson round out the top 20.

Social media posts warning people to watch out for ice sinking in their drink as a sign it may have been spiked have been shared tens of thousands of times. 

A number of posts seen by Full Fact use similar wording, which says: “With it being summer and more people are out drinking please remember when drinking if the ice in your drink isn’t floating, there’s something in your drink, as in drugs so make sure to check your drinks and your friends drinks [sic].

“Ice sinky, no drinky.”

This is missing important context, because looking out for sinking ice isn’t a reliable way to spot if a drink has been spiked.

Spiking a drink involves adding either alcohol or drugs to it without the drinker’s knowledge or consent.

Although a drink with a very high…

A post on Facebook falsely claims that a caravan, which was not previously claimed after a different giveaway, will be given away for free to someone who comments on and shares the post. 

The post says: “Unfortunately, our previous winner Naomi Raynott V. doesn’t follow our page and thus we have been unable to contact her for 14 days, we have been left with no choice but to give out the beautiful cabin once again to someone who Shares+Comments by Sunday 28 at 7p.m. Delivery is free within 6 weeks. [sic]”

But the caravan pictured in the post is not part of any giveaway, and is currently listed for sale by Cumbria-based caravan dealership Adventure Leisure Vehicles. 

Rick Parker, the company’s digital marketing manager, told Full Fact that the giveaway was…
