Pringles has gotten in on Thanksgiving for the past few years by jamming all sorts of different holiday food flavors into their chips. And they’re back at it again . . .
Pringles just announced they’re selling TURDUCKEN chips this year. If you don’t know what a turducken is, it’s when you cook a chicken, inside of a duck, inside of a turkey.
So Pringles has created turkey-, duck-, and chicken-flavored chips . . . and when you stack them on top of each other, you get a turducken.
The chips are all part of their “Friendsgiving Feast Turducken Kit” . . . which also comes with chips that taste like cranberry sauce, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.
If you’re curious, the kits cost $16 plus $5 for shipping, and they go on sale at noon Eastern tomorrow at KelloggStore.com. And you should hop on quickly if you want one . . . last year’s kit sold out in less than 45 minutes.

The Bears came into the NFL season with an enormous amount of hype. After overachieving last year, mainly thanks to a dynamite defense, the team had Super Bowl hopes at the start of the year, and a few very delusional people had hopes of a Mitch Trubisky MVP-caliber season.
-Trubisky for MVP: Trick
-PointsBet Refunding Trubisky MVP Bettors: Treat@erinkatedolan speaks with @VSiNLive Host @mlombardiNFL about the Bears QB ghosting MVP bettors (our highest liability)! Thankfully, the Karma Kommittee stepped in on Halloween!🎃 pic.twitter.com/SafEdHa8JZ
In fact, the Bears and their quarterback have been so bad that PointsBet Sportsbook has refunded those that put money down on Trubisky for MVP. When gamblers don’t want your money, you know something horrible has happened.
Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds was trick or treating last weekend when a garage band in Las Vegas noticed him walking by, as Imagine Dragons have been Vegas royalty of sorts. Anyways, the garage band kindly asked Reynolds to jam with them, and Reynolds obliged, busting out an acoustic version of their 2013 hit, ‘Radioactive’.
This is as good as it gets. Props to Dan Reynolds for being the coolest rockstar on the block, and props to the garage band, known as Streetfolkband, for stepping up to the plate in such a big moment.

Iceland is one of the few Western countries in the world that currently does not have a McDonald’s. They did at one point, about a decade ago, but when they announced that they were shutting down the nation’s Mickey D’s, a man decided that he needed to buy the last meal that anyone in the country could get at the restaurant. For 10 years, he’s had McDonald’s sitting there, waiting for nature to take its course.

“I had heard that McDonald’s never decomposed so I just wanted to see if it was true or not.”
The burger now sits inside of the Snotra House, which as we all know is a hostel inside of Thykkvibaer in southern Iceland.
A Maryland man was stabbed to death yesterday after apparently getting into an argument at a Popeyes Chicken restaurant. The 28-year-old victim was in line to get the popular re-released chicken sandwich when he got into an argument with another man who cut in line. The argument spilled out into the street where the man was stabbed. First responders on the scene tried to save the man as he was transported to the hospital; he was pronounced dead on arrival. “For you to get that angry over anything … and to develop into this type of violence, again, is a very sad and tragic day,” said Prince George’s County Police spokeswoman Jennifer Donelan. Police are still searching for the suspect and are asking those who were at the Popeyes to come forward with any information.

Steve Easterbrook, the now-former McDonald’s CEO, was raking in a salary of $15.9 million dollars a year. All he had to do was keep his nose to the grindstone and not violate any company policies. Unfortunately for Easterbrook, he violated one major policy, that of having a relationship with a fellow coworker.
The relationship was consensual, and that’s all we know as McDonald’s declined to provide any more details on Easterbrook and the anonymous staffer that he nibbled on like a nugget.
For the third year in a row, Chicago has been named the greenest city to work in America. Chicago leads the nation in energy-efficient office buildings, according to a recent study. This puts The Windy City ahead of places like San Francisco, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.
42.2% of office spaces in this area have been green-certified.
Spencer Levy, chairman of Americas Research for CRBE notes that these changes not only benefit the great city of Chicago, but they also deliver real savings to owners and investors.

Check out this Halloween light show someone (Tom BetGeorge) created using the song “Chop Suey” — who did it for a great cause, raising money for a California shelter that helps families in crisis. As one YouTube commenter put it, “the pumpkins lip sync better than most artists faking their shows.” For real. — [eric]
