Tell Me Something Good: Kid Invites His Favorite 2 Garbage Men To Birthday Party
Communities coming together with each other has been one of the few positive things to come out of this whole pandemic situation.
It’s always great to hear especially when it involves kids. There is a three-year-old in Toronto named Wolfgang “Wolfy” Reader is obsessed with garbage trucks. Because of social distancing guidelines he only got to invite two people to his birthday party this month. So he picked the two trash collectors who handle his neighborhood route. The two guys went above and beyond for him. They brought four garbage trucks to his house and blared the horns. Then they hung out in the front yard and even gave him his own uniform! How adorable is that? A birthday Wolfy will surely never forget.

Couples Court: Vienna and Marcus are planning their wedding. Vienna doesn’t want to invite her father because he did not invite her to his second-wedding last year. Her father explained that because there is a lot of hostility between him and her mother, he didn’t want to put her in that situation to make a decision. Vienna says it was disrespectful and now wants to exclude him from her own wedding. Marcus says she’ll regret being petty and will eventually regret not having her father at her wedding. (33:25)

Tell Me Something Good: Bidding War For A Cup Of Ice From Sonic Raises Thousands
I’ve only been to Sonic a handful of times in my life, but one thing I do remember is that they have unique ice. Different shape than all the other fast food places. Fans of Sonic already know how famous the “Sonic Ice” is. Which I guess is why one single cup of said ice was able to start a bidding war on eBay when Sonic put it up for auction. The whole idea was to raise money to go toward supplies for teachers.
Here’s the quote from their post:
“It’s not ‘just ice’ – it’s SONIC Ice! It’s cherished, cold and crunchable. Really, it’s America’s Hottest Ice,” said Lori Abou Habib, chief marketing officer for SONIC via a press release. “Many of our guests who live near a Drive-In can conveniently get SONIC Ice in every drink, or just order a cup of ice if they want. But for fans who may not live near a SONIC and may be craving SONIC’s Ice, here’s a way they can get some delivered straight to their door.”
The auction, which closes Sept. 20, was made to raise money for Sonic’s longtime nonprofit partner, DonorsChoose, which helps public school teachers get recourses for students who need them.
The auction ended yesterday (9/20/2020) and the winning bid was… wait for it… $11,211. Can you believe THAT?!
This story is great on so many levels. But mostly that it was all for a good cause for these teachers.
Now I’m really craving a Cherry Limeade with the famous ice.
