2. For now police in Aggieville are calling it an incident rather than an attack, regarding a 22-year-old Wichita woman who sustained significant injuries early Friday morning, while walking home after a night with friends.

4. Hormel is teaming up with General Mills to create a new twist on breakfast. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Black Label Bacon will hit shelves beginning September 16th. The product will combine the cinnamon coating from Cinnamon Toast Crunch with Hormel’s Black Label Bacon.
5. And, there is a social media craze in Spain among singles where they are finding love connections with the help of pineapples.

If they are interested, you start talking. Just don’t confuse this with the upside down pineapple on cruise ships because things could get crowded…. If you know, you know.
AND THAT’S TRENDING
