TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The tragic viral moment between a kid and his hot dog is now paying off for him

You might have seen this video last week that went viral of this poor kid at a Chicago White Sox game who dropped his full hot dog on the ground and had the funniest reaction.

Oh, the humanity!

Now a famous hot dog place in Chicago is stepping up to make things better. The Wiener’s Circle (great name btw!) has offered to throw him a party with unlimited hot dogs for him and all his friends. Smart move by them. And amazing week for this kid!

We’ve crowdsourced pops via @Twitter and will be providing all you can eat hot dogs for his 🌭-less boy and his best buds. Pops is clearly an @tigers fan, maybe we should make him dress up in a 1919 black Sox uni? @shane_riordan @fromthe108 @ronnychieng https://t.co/GbaPjQTL31

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are school buses yellow?

A lot of Connecticut schools go back to school next week and the week after. Which means you’ll start seeing all those yellow buses on the streets again in the morning and afternoon. Of all the colors why did they choose yellow for school buses?

The reason has to do with safety on the roads. It is because yellow is the one color that your peripheral vision sees at least 1.24 times faster than any other color. Red is the second fastest, but I’ve never seen a red school bus.
