Abby & Bill are sending their trivia winners to the movies at Cineplanet15 in Madison!
It all started with Dunkin Donuts’ “Dunk N Pump” campaign,
featuring Dunkin’ Protein Refreshers…. and Protein Milk for your coffee or lattes. But now to company is bringing on the Dunkin Bangles. They are 2 pound bangles so you can work out and eat your donuts at the same time. They can be worn on your arms or your legs and cost $65. Not sure if eating donuts is good for your
fitness….but some just can’t resist…..no judging here! Eat your
donuts and work out too!
A Good Samaritan saved 6 puppies that were left on the side of the road. Steven was not having that….so he scooped them up and headed to the vet. All 6 are healthy, happy and have been adopted.
A 66-Year-Old Hiker…lost for more than 2 weeks in New Zealand, was miraculously found alive just days after the search ended. He was discovered by chance, sheltering in a remote hut. A reminder that even when the world seems to move on, a small miracle can still be happen.
Would a Mammoth Burger make you happy? McDonald’s tested the Big Arch Burger overseas. It was such a big hit it’s coming to the U.S. It weighs 14 oz compared to 3.5 for a standard burger.
Then we have this guy who told his wife to stop entering stupid contests. It’s a good thing she didn’t listen. She paid $30 in a charity raffle and won a $6 MILLION house on a lake, and $300,000 in cash. She told a reporter, “This is precisely why I never listen to my husband.”
