    40 Years of BookIt. | Who Owns Stonehenge? | A McFix for the McFlurry.

    Some corporate programs really do work. One has convinced millions of kids to read millions of books for more than 40 years by promising them the perfect incentive - free pizza. Have you ever set out to buy one thing but ended up with something else? That’s what happened to Cecil Chubb, though his unintended purchase was a little bigger than typical.If it seems the McDonald’s McFlurry ice cream machine is broken more often than not, you wouldn’t be wrong. America’s court system decided to do ...

    The Closest Election Ever. | God Bless ... Canada? | Unstoppable Daylight Savings Time.

    You may hear these days of unfair or too close-to-call elections, but this isn’t a recent development. It’s not the national anthem, but God Bless the USA sure feels like it could be … until you hear this segment. Everyone hates changing their clocks twice per year. More than 80% of Americans say we should stop. Why don’t we?Sources:https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/presidential-election-1876https://www.npr.org/2018/09/11/645270955/god-bless-the-u-s-a-a-country-anthem-wit...

    Silk Road = Evil Amazon. | Election Texts. | The Dr. (Pepper) Is In.

    The dark web is a largely unregulated version of the internet where many kinds of questionable things go on. Much like Amazon, the dark web even has its own marketplace. The similarities end there. Political campaigns have likely been texting you for months; asking for your money, your time and, of course, your vote. How did they get your number? For the last 140 years, Dr. Pepper has been popular, but never been able to crack the top two in soda sales, the domain of Coke and Pepsi,...

    Ring Finger. | The Magazine that is a Publishing Phenomenon. | Spirit of Halloween Comes to Town (again).

    We wear wedding rings on the left-hand ring finger. Would another finger work?Magazines are losing subscribers at an alarming rate. You’ll never guess which one is an exception. It’s time to get your Halloween costume! Many come from a pop-up store named “Spirit of Halloween.” Where do these stores come from and, maybe more importantly, where do they go?

    Lawyer Advertising Legalities. | Economics of Gift Cards. | Birth of the Chicken Tender.

    It’s hard to go on a busy highway without seeing a billboard for an accident lawyer. Is it legal to advertise such a service? Well, it hasn’t always been. Gift cards are big business. We are good at buying them but not always so good at using them. Chicken tenders are one of the most popular foods in America. One city wants all the credit.
