TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Crime stopper great-grandmother stops purse thief

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Crime stopper great-grandmother stops purse thief

Let this be a lesson to all criminals out there, you don’t want to mess with grandma energy.

Like this one great-grandmother out in Oakland, CA who recently stopped a purse thief from robbing her neighbor. The thief jumped out of a car and trying to snag the person, until our grandma hero saw what was happening and threw her cane at the car to scare them off. It worked! They fled without the purse.

You go grandma!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What is the Circus Peanuts flavoring?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What is the Circus Peanuts flavoring?

Congrats, you’re off the hook candy corn! Circus Peanuts have voted the new worst Halloween candy this year. The BEST and still champion is the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. As it should be.

For years I could never pinpoint what the actual flavor these orange looking marshmallow peanuts was. The original orange colored one is an artificial banana flavoring.

Another little fun tidbit about the Circus peanuts… without them we would’ve never got Lucky Charms. That’s right, back in 1964 a General Mills employee chopped some of the circus peanuts candy pieces into a bowl of Cheerios and boom Lucky Charms was born.

Please don’t hangout Circus Peanuts for Halloween this year. No one wants them. ha ha

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do witches ride brooms?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do witches ride brooms?

With Halloween coming up this weekend your bound to see a lot of witch costumes. Some of them riding broomsticks. But why are witches associated with brooms anyway?

The idea of witches and brooms is thought to have started as a fertility ritual. Basically rural farmers would leap and dance around different kinds of poles, pitchforks or brooms at nigh time when there was a full moon to give enough light. They would try to encourage the growth of their crops by doing this.

Then the broom stick concept just stuck ever since with witches in TV, movies, and Halloween costumes.
