Today is Tuesday, June 28, 2016. We meet a 40-year-old Twinkie that works as an ongoing science experiment. Feel free to sing “Happy Birthday.” Taking out an ad for your son.
40-year-old Twinkie
A Twinkie sits in a glass box in a science classroom of a private school in Maine. It’s a 40-year-old Twinkie.
The delicious treat has stayed in a glass box since 1976. Roger Bennatti was teaching a chemistry lesson about food additives and shelf life. A student asked about a Twinkie’s shelf life. That started this whole thing.
Sing Happy Birthday
For years, Warner/Chappell Music collected royalties on the “Happy Birthday to You” song. But, now a judge has approved a settlement that puts the song in the public domain. The settlement means the company will have to pay back $14 million to people who have previously paid licensing fees for the the song.
A Wife For My Song
A 48-year-old man is receiving inquiries from an ad that was placed in an Idaho newspaper by his father.
His father wants a grand child to carry on the family name. So, he placed the ad to solicit possible wives for his son.
