- Turkey Dinner Candy Corn. When it comes to candy corn some like it and some don't, but if it tasted like a turkey dinner would you eat it? The folks at Brach's hope that the taste of a turkey dinner on one of its most controversial candies will make you want some for your home. The candy was spotted and posted on social media by the account @CandyHunting and candy lovers can't believe their eyes. In the photo, it looks like there are different colors of candy that signify a particular food, but if you want the entire dinner just grab a handful for the complete dinner, and don't forget your vegetables.
- Side Sleeping. Sleeping on your side may be the best way to rid your brain of waste. Researchers (Journal of Neuroscience) used MRIs to image the brain’s glymphatic pathway, a system that clears wastes and other harmful chemical solutes from the brain. Side-sleeping is the best position to most efficiently remove waste from the brain. It’s also the most common way humans sleep.

- Future Coffee Crisis? Nearly 500 billion cups of coffee are consumed every year, making it easily one of the most popular goods in the world. But coffee is becoming harder to grow.

A recent study estimates that by 2050, the amount of land that can sustain coffee will have fallen by 50 percent.
- How to Raise a Popular kid. Raising a popular kid should never be a parent’s ultimate goal, but it’s safe to say popular kids have more friends, more connections and probably better social lives. A study reveals a free and easy way to help your kid be a bit more popular: send them outdoors. In the study kids who played outdoors were more popular with other kids. And, oddly, their parents were more popular, too.
- Earthquake during Scripture. The Scripture quite literally came to life for several Catholic churches in North Carolina as a rare earthquake rattled portions of the state over the weekend. According to a news release from the Diocese of Charlotte, Father Richard Sutter of St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church said the lector in the Sunday service had just reached the 19th chapter of 1 Kings, a Bible passage referring to the prophet Elijah, which said, “After the wind there was an earthquake — but the LORD was not in the earthquake.” It was then that parishioners felt the 5.1 magnitude earthquake centered near Sparta, North Carolina, the most powerful to hit the state in more than 100 years.
- Dunkin’ Cereal Line. As if 2020 wasn’t weird enough, Dunkin’ is getting into the cereal game.

The team-up with Post, the makers of Honey Bunches of Oats, Shredded Wheat, Raisin Bran and other familiar cereals, is expected to hit grocery shelves later this month… Dunkin’ coffee concentrate is added to the cereal, which consists of little crunchy spheres mixed with flavored marshmallow bits. A serving has about as much caffeine as a tenth of an 8-ounce cup of coffee.
