TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy gets lost wedding ring back with help from a 10-year-old

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy gets lost wedding ring back with help from a 10-year-old

There’s no worse feeling than losing something sentimental like a wedding ring. And there is no BETTER feeling then actually getting it back!

This happened recently to a police officer from Georgia. He was on vacation in Florida and lost his wedding ring while swimming in a state park. Assuming it was gone forever, they wrapped up their vacation and left. Then a few days later a 10-year-old girl was swimming in the area and found the ring! Her mom posted a photo of it on Facebook. That’s when another officer who works with the guy saw the post and realized it might be the one he lost. Turns out it was, and he got his ring back. The police department even gave the girl an award for being so honest.

What a great ending!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are they called French Fries if they’re not from France?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are they called French Fries if they’re not from France?

Today is apparently National French Fry Day? I know, I know… eye roll emoji. But it got me wondering how they got their name since they actually weren’t invented in France at all.

The French Fry was created back during World War I. American soldiers who were stationed in Belgium were being served these delicious potatoes known as “friets” at the time. Since the dominant language of southern Belgium is French the Americans just started calling them French Friets. Which then later got Americanized into “French Fries”

Now my mouth is watering. I may need to order some tonight.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Finally, a little bit of good news from the building collapse in Florida

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Finally, a little bit of good news from the building collapse in Florida

There has been very little good news to come out of the tragedy that took place in Florida last month after the building collapse in Miami. But now we are learning about a little gimmer of good from one of the families in the building.

Rescuers came across a cat who belonged to a family on the ninth floor. The cat was in the apartment when it fell and was found alive two weeks later! Two of the animal’s owners also survived, but one family member is still missing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them, but anyone who is a pet owner knows how it feels to be reunited with your furry loved one.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do we eat popcorn at the movies?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do we eat popcorn at the movies?

Big weekend at movie theatres. The new Marvel movie Black Widow brought in $80 million at the box office which is the best opening for a movie since the pandemic began. Good to see people back in the theatres eating delicious tubs of popcorn. But why do we eat popcorn when we go to the movies anyway?

It all started when movies with sound first came out in mass release back in 1927. Move goers naturally wanted to bring snacks into to cinema while they watched. Local street vendors saw this opportunity and decided to  start selling their popcorn outside cinemas. That was the easiest snack to make and sell so that’s why people have been eating popcorn at the cinema ever since.

Extra butter please!
