Let's face it, folks, we've all been there. You're elbow-deep in grandma's famous chili (because let's be real, nobody makes it better), phone's on silent, and suddenly you NEED to know what time it is in Detroit. Maybe you have a friend stationed there who only sleeps when the moon's full and the squirrels are tap-dancing (hey, no judgement!), or perhaps you're a die-hard Lions fan who needs to know if it's socially acceptable to crack open a celebratory Faygo (because, let's be honest, that's a once-a-season kind of thing).
