As a dad I can 100% relate to this story. Even if you’re not a dad, you could probably use a little light humor in this crazy year that is 2020.
At the beginning of the year right around when the Pandemic started a guy in New York named Woody started hanging posters outside his house with cheesy dad jokes on them. His reasoning was to life people’s spirits as they walk by. Such a great idea. He’s been posting them on Facebook. Here’s one he did the other day…

We’ve all been there before. Waiting in line to checkout at the grocery store perusing the tabloids and candy. Then decide, “hey I haven’t had tic tac’s in a while. Why are they called that anyway?”
Turns out back in 1970 Ferrero, the company who owns the product, wanted to change the generic name they already had which was “Refreshing Mints”. I get that. Super boring. Need something that will catch their eye in the checkout line. So instead of going with yet another stale predictable name they put their heads together to think. The light bulb moment was when they realized that the sound of the little plastic container tab opening and closing is “tic.. tac… tic… tac…”.
That’s it! meeting over “tic tac” it is!
Next time you buy some of those little mints, now you can tell the person behind you in line that fun story. I’m sure they will be impressed by your checkout line trivia knowledge.

Sadly due to the pandemic a lot of people have lost their jobs this year. You may have heard the story recently about Disney World having to layoff thousands of park employees due to the decline in park attendance this year. Since Disney fans always stick together two fans who run a blog called Disney Tourist Blog decided to start a food bank fundraiser to raise meals for the out of work employees. They have managed to raise over $50,000 already which will feed about 200,000 meals.
That right there is the magic of the Disney culture. Always helping each other out.
Today’s Mundane Mystery is about tickling. Some people loved being tickled, others hate it. But one thing is true… you can’t tickle yourself. It’s so weird.
The reason for this is because when you try to tickle yourself there is no feeling of surprise since your brain knows it’s coming. The cells in your brain are telling each other that it’s you who wants to do the tickling. As opposed to if someone else does it. Then your brain has an instant reflex that makes you laugh.
Now you know. Please don’t tickle me. Ha ha
