Pop some bubbly in honor of bubble wrap's birthday Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:12:43 +0000 https://www.1055wytm.com/blogs/mark-hunter/post/bubble-wrap-is-it-for-packing-your-stuff-or-helping-your-stress/ o1282-1944-6978e3fbc2993 Bob Boyer Mark Hunter Did you know that Bubble Wrap turns 69 years old today? It was born in 1957 when two inventors created what they thought would become the next textured wallpaper craze. But with one look, Interior decorators gave Bubble textured Wallpaper three thumbs down (they didn’t like it). But that wasn’t the end of it. Three years later a packing clerk at IBM recognized Bubble Wrap’s potential as a packing material and a star was born. If this week has left you feeling isolated and shut in, just remember that Bubble Wrap is also a great stress reliever. The experts say every single minute spent popping Bubble Wrap is the equivalent of a 33 minute massage.

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:28:34 +0000 https://www.1055wytm.com/blogs/mark-hunter/post/thats-a-lot-of-candles-to-blow-out-but-if-anyone-can-do-it-its-a-marine/ o1282-1944-691220c24fef6 Bob Boyer Mark Hunter Today we celebrate the 250th Birthday of the US Marine Corps (USMC) born November 10, 1775 out of necessity to serve during the Revolutionary War. Envisioned to be a dedicated force capable of fighting on land or sea, the US Marine Corps quickly became a fierce, elite force built of battle ready troops, first to fight, feared by their foes and well respected by their allies the world over. U.S. General James Mattis sized up Marines in a very few words when he adopted the motto “No better friend - no worse enemy” for his 1st Division Marines when he took command in the year 2000. Happy 250th Birthday Marines! It’s an honor to celebrate your legacy of honor, courage and commitment to our country!

The Powerball drawing is for $358 million at 10 tonight. No one matched them all last Saturday night. And with the Mega Millions drawing for Tuesday night set for $714 million, I thought I’d buy a few tickets and then buy a PAYDAY candy bar for good luck. Convenience stores actually do have better days and sell more items when jackpots get larger because people who buy lottery tickets usually buy more impulse items like snacks and drinks.  So what do you suppose convenience stores sell more of on those days? Well it isn’t Payday Candy Bars!  On the days when lottery jackpots get up well into the millions or billions of dollars people buy more lottery tickets hoping to improve their odds of winning!

A release date hasn’t been set yet. The trio say it won’t be an album of Christmas music but it’s sounding an awful lot like we should hear it drop pretty close to Christmas time.
