TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: A Dunkin’ Love Story

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: A Dunkin’ Love Story

Everyone has their own unique story of how they met their husband or wife. But this one might be one of the sweetest yet.

A manager at Dunkin’ in Oklahoma City started to become interested in a regular who would always come through the drive-thru and order the same thing. Large hot coffee with cream and sugar, and a sausage-egg-and-cheese sandwich. She noticed his smile, his eyes, and overall personality each time she saw him.

Eventually she found out the attraction was mutual! Except he was a little shy to ask her out. By the time he actually got the courage to do it she flipped the script and gave him HER number. The two of them knew from the first time the interacted at the drive-thru window that it was meant to be.

Three weeks later he popped the question… of course…. in the Dunkin’ drive-thru parking lot. After being engaged for close to 7 months the couple said I DO in a donut themed wedding ceremony at the exact same drive-thru window where they first met.

“I am so thankful for everything Dunkin’ has given me – from my job to lifelong friends, and now, my husband,” said Sugar. “When John and I were planning our big day, we decided there was no better place to say “I do” than right where we met. This Dunkin’ drive-thru has brought me one of my biggest blessings, and we’re so glad we were able to celebrate such a special occasion here with our Dunkin’ family!”

A true Dunkin’ love story. The funniest part… their honeymoon was at a Starbucks. JUST KIDDING! Hahaha. Congrats to the happy couple!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What Is The Difference Between A Slurpee And An Icee?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What Is The Difference Between A Slurpee And An Icee?

You’ve definitely had this question enter your mind while strolling the aisles of 7-Eleven at one time or another. What is the difference between a Slurpee and an Icee?

If you were expecting a big elaborate answer with a breakdown on why they are different, you’d be wrong. Turns out there is actually no difference at all between Slurpees and Icees.  They’re both made by the Icee Company.  Exact same drink.  It’s just that 7-Eleven  has a licensing deal to call them “Slurpees”.

Yum. Try not to get a brain freeze next time you’re enjoying your Slurpee or Icee.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: You’re Hired!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: You’re Hired!

It’s been a rough year on so many people because of this pandemic. One of the main impacts has been job loss. But now it looks like the pandemic might eventually mean more jobs to choose from. Which could be good news for you if you recently lost your job.

This new study says companies are now three times more willing to hire people to work remotely from anywhere in the country. That definitely gives you way more options. Good luck out there.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why Does It Get Dark Earlier Now?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why Does It Get Dark Earlier Now?

Every since last weekend when we turned the clocks back you’ve probably noticed that it’s getting dark much earlier now. Maybe even before you eat dinner! It’s the worst. But why exactly does this even happen?

The reason is “a tilted axis”. When you look at planet earth from space it’s a big sphere, but it’s not a straight big sphere. It’s actually tilted. Roughly about 23.5 degrees on an axis. Because of that tilt it maks the Earth revolve in a way that is not perpendicular to the sun. As the Earth turns parts of it tilt towards the sun while other parts tilt away.

In the summer months the top of the Earth tilts and faces the sun which gives us those glorious long days of sunlight. In the winter (now) it switches and the Northern Hemisphere points away from the sun giving us shorter days and that dreaded early darkness.

So there you go, you can blame the Earth’s tilted axis for these short days.

The Helium Experiment

The Helium Experiment

Anna told Raven you couldn’t get the helium out of this type of balloon, so Raven had Anna put that theory to the test…was she right?!
