Last weekend this woman in Florida lost her wallet at a Walmart. The guy who ended up finding it did the right thing and actually drove to her house to return it! Now the video footage from her doorbell camera is going viral.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are fire trucks red?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are fire trucks red?

There are a few different theories about why fire trucks are red, and they both make sense! So you can choose which you want to believe.

Theory 1: The trucks were originally painted red to make them stand out from all the other vehicles on the road. Back in the early 1900s, Ford only offered cars in black, so red fire trucks would be sure to stand out from all the black vehicles on the road.

Theory 2: The earliest fire departments were made up of unpaid volunteers. These volunteers didn’t have much money, and red was the cheapest color of paint to buy, so they painted their fire trucks red for that reason and it just stuck ever since.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do dogs like squeaky toys so much?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do dogs like squeaky toys so much?

If you have a dog you know exactly what I’m talking about. That one squeaky toy he or she just loves to go crazy on. But why do they love them so much?

The reason behind it is because dogs are descendants of wolves whose instincts naturally include hunting smaller animals. The sound that squeaky toy you give them makes is very similar to the sound a small animal makes when being hunted. So it’s all part of their heredity.
