A breakfast cookie is coming soon. The Girl Scouts of the USA is adding a new flavor to their lineup of cookies: the Toast-Yay. The French toast-themed dessert features a top layer of frosting with a maple syrup-like flavor, a crunchy texture and a signature trefoil stamp, and the cookie is shaped like a slice of toast — raised crust edge included. https://www.instagram.com/p/CECu3DHhLd_/

A study finds that people give too much credit to their native country for deciding the outcome of World War II.

A study shows parents begin to lose control of their children at the age of 13. After years of watching their every step, at around 13 parents are left wondering what their kids are eating, doing and who they are friends with. Four in 10 worry about the food and drink their kids are eating when they aren’t with them. Almost 4 in 10 (39 percent) don’t always know who their child is hanging around with. Almost one in 10 parents believe the point at which they have to start to let go begins as early as 10 years old.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

A UK family inadvertently held a funeral for a complete stranger — and then buried him — following a bizarre mix-up. The family buried an elderly man they thought was their relative at St. Mary’s Church in Rockcliffe village back on July 6th. The crazy error was revealed a day later, when mortuary staff contacted the funeral home asking when the body of the man scheduled to be buried at Rockcliffe would be collected. The man they actually buried was a year younger than their loved one. He had been scheduled for cremation on July 13th — but that had been postponed. His body needed to be exhumed — but that didn’t happen until July 15th, nine days after the funeral. The correct corpse was buried there the day of the exhumation. An internal investigation is now underway. A funeral director spokesman said nothing of the sort has happened in the more than 150 years the family business has been around.(https://bit.ly/3iWK926)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com

A man in Clearwater, Florida is behind bars after he stole thirteen scratch-off tickets and went back to the same store he robbed to cash the tickets. According to Clearwater police, 27-year-old Herbert McClellan stole thirteen scratch-off tickets from the Speedway convenience while the clerk was distracted. When McClellan found out that one was a $30 winner, he went back to the same store to cash it in. Employees called police and McClellan was arrested and charged with petit theft and dealing in stolen property. It’s safe to say it was not his lucky day. (https://bit.ly/3aOV37e)
