Listen for my trivia question every day at 4pm to play. Here was today’s if you missed it…
Q: It seems like Halloween was just yesterday. But the Internet has already moved on to CHRISTMAS candy. This was voted the most popular holiday candy people will buy this month
Nothing worse that ordering a gift for someone this time of year and then never receiving the package. This guy in Ohio saved a lot of people that headache recently when he became a good Samaritan Santa Claus.
He noticed a bunch of FedEx packages on the side of the highway after a delivery driver had dumped them there for some reason. He decided to do the right thing and help the people out by hand delivering every package based on the address on the label.
Still now word on why the packages were dumped, but FedEx says they’re investigating.
December 1st. It’s candy cane season. One of the biggest mysteries of the holiday season. How do they get the candy canes into that shape?
In the candy factories where they are made there are automated machines which mix and pull massive wads of red and white candy before rolling candy logs into thin ropes, there is then a special machine which wraps the plastic around each one, then shapes the cane while it’s still pliable. That signature curve is done at the very end after they’re packaged.
Having someone yell “get off my lawn” is a pretty common cliché, but would it be justified if people kept insisting on taking pictures in front of your home? (:30)
