What's your dream job?
New research came up with a list of the top "dream jobs" worldwide. They did it by looking into targeted online search results for stuff like "how to be a . . ."
Across the entire world, it was pilot with attorney, police officer, pharmacist, and nurse rounding out the top 5.
In America, the dream job is flight attendant.
In Canada, Australia, and India it's DJ!

Don't you love when people are at the top of their game at work?
Cops in London saved a woman who called and pretended to order a pizza, because she was in trouble but couldn't say so.
The operator realized what was going on and asked "yes" or "no" questions. She also asked her to say "pepperoni" if she was in danger.
I've heard of many ways that bars, restaurants, and more have secret codes to ask for help.

Just in time for cold and flu season....i hope you've been healthy, Progresso just debuted new chicken noodle soup-flavored cough drops for National Soup Month.
They're called "Soup Drops," but they're not medicated in any way, so they're technically marketed as soup-flavored "candy." (gross?)
You get 20 Soup Drops for $2.49, plus $1 shipping. You also get a can of actual chicken noodle soup with it.
Their press release says, "When you're sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than chicken noodle soup. So we thought, why stop at the soup bowl?"
Their marketing has them in a soup can...and the tag line "Soup you can suck on."
