The F.D.A. used to bar 23andMe from selling tests that purport to give health information because such tests were considered a flimsy predictor of health. Their results were also deemed too difficult for consumers to interpret on their own.

Yes, that was Andy Warhol in Burger King's Super Bowl ad tonight.
The ad, which aired live during the fourth quarter, is a Super Bowl commercial that's 37 years in the making. Originally shot in 1982 by Swedish director Jorgen Leth, the clip was part of the film 66 Scenes from America, which features scenes that represent American reality. The mostly silent ad features Warhol unwrapping and opening a Whopper from Burger King. Before taking a bite, he struggles to get some ketchup out of a glass bottle. After his first bite, the hashtag "#EatLikeAndy" flashes across the screen, followed by an old-fashioned Burger King logo.

Warhol died in 1987.
