Fast Food:
Dunkin' Donuts has a new treat for you --Donut Fries!
The company is putting the new treat on the menu for a limited time for just $2. The donut fries will be made from croissant-style doughnut dough and tossed in cinnamon sugar. A package of five fries will have 240 calories, five grams of sugar, and 14 grams of total fat. So --less than a regular donut would have, but not by much.Millions of spud lovers were horrified when Taco Bell removed those delectable Nacho Fries from their menu, but fear not --the customer fave is making a return for summer! You may remember that the fast food franchise was the only restaurant to survive in the classic flick, "Demolition Man," so they're celebrating the 25th anniversary of the sci-fi classic with the fried potato staple. You'll be able to sink your teeth into the cheesy goodness beginning July 12th with options for a' la carte, Supreme or BellGrande for a limited time. (Lee)
Stars and their movies:
Today's sexual harassment update: Actress RASHIDA JONES and actor DONALD GLOVER have put together what they call a "public service announcement" video for the Time's Up movement.
The 2-minute, 50-second PSA is directed by Jones and narrated by Glover and discusses questions about sexual harassment. Some of the questions include "is it okay to greet your co-worker with a deep, full body hug or mouth kiss?" and "is it okay to tell your co-worker that you think they look sexy in their pants?"Everyday heroes:
This Michigan man got fed up with people speeding through his neighborhood, so he did something about it.
RON WARD of Grand Rapids put up a homemade road sign reading: "Are you blind? It 25 mph!" Ward says he just wanted to remind out-of-control drivers of the actual speed limit on Richmond Street. He says, "By the time they hit this here driveway, they're doing at least 50-to-55 miles an hour." Photos of his makeshift sign have gone viral on Facebook, which is impressive since Ward doesn't even have a Facebook account. (Still)
