It’s A Halloween Miracle: Reese’s Reveals A Vending Machine That Trades In Unwanted Candy

You Can Trade In Unwanted Halloween Candy For Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups There’s really not much you can find wrong about a holiday that revolves around acquiring as much candy as possible, but sometimes, the goods kids pick up going door-to-door just aren’t the right assortment. Luckily for children in New York , Reese’s knows about the struggles of Halloween candy collection and making sure you get what you actually want, and they’ve got you covered with an innovative vending machine that will let people exchange their bad candy for Reese’s.  “No tricks here,” the company wrote in a tweet announcing it’s 5th Avenue candy converting machine. “Trade in your Halloween candy for Reese’s candy. What’d you expect from the GOAT of Halloween?!” No tricks here. Trade in your Halloween candy for Reese's candy. What'd you expect from the GOAT of Halloween?! #ReesesCandyConverter #NotSorry pic.twitter.com/bTrjF2IFay — REESE'S (@reeses) October 30, 2018 The machine is only going to be active for 5 hours (or until it runs out of the 10,000 cups stored inside) on Halloween night. Lucky children can trade in their Milk Duds for one of the most top-tier candies of all time, a unique experience that raises the question: Why hasn’t this ever been done before?! But that’s not the only thing the peanut butter cup OGs have been in the news for lately. Even though most of us can’t think of anyone who has ever looked at a Reese’s Cup and thought it should be more compact, Hershey’s recently announced plans to launch a new thinner version of the treat with 40% less of the good stuff. “Reese’s Thins” are set to launch in March. “This product is about 40% thinner than the original cup, and it appeals to those consumers who want something sweet with more permissibility,” Hershey North America’s President Michele Buck said on a  recent call with investors . But for today, Reese’s is absolutely killing it for Halloween, and hopefully by next year, they can roll out these vending machines around the US–but maybe they should just keep ’em out year-round. Do y’all wish there was a candy-trading vending machine when you were a kid?!

So Sad: A Fistfight Between Two Students At A North Carolina High School Ends With A Fatal Shooting

Getty Images High School Fight Ends With One Student Shooting Another In Hallway One fistfight between two North Carolina high school students took a terrible turn on Monday after one of them pulled out a handgun and fired at his classmate in a crowded hallway before the start of classes, according to authorities. The alleged shooter was identified as a male student at David W. Butler High School in Matthews–a suburb southeast of Charlotte–and was quickly taken into custody, police said. “There are no other threats or dangers to any of the students or staff, or anyone in the area of the school,” Captain Stason Tyrrell of the Matthews Police Department told reporters near the school. “I can just tell you that the shooter was taken into custody by Matthews Police Department, and his family is aware as well,” he assured students and the community. Following the horrific incident, the school briefly went into a lockdown as the wounded student (who was also not identified by police) was rushed to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. The student died there a few hours later. Surveillance video shows the two students getting into a fight before the shooting happened, according to Tyrrell. “From what I’ve seen and the information I’ve received, our school resource officer was very nearby when it took place, and the situation became under control very quickly,” he added. Clayton Wilcox, Charlotte Mecklenburg School Superintendent, said that the school did not have a policy of searching every bag that enters the school prior to this incident, but added that all security procedures would be reviewed following the shooting. “I don’t know how a young person gets a handgun in the state of North Carolina,” Wilcox said to reporters. “But we are going to look into all those things, and we will do our best to make sure that this never happens again.”

It’s Gonna Be A Long Probation: 6ix9ine Avoids Jail Time, Man Gets Shot Outside Of Celebratory Dinner

Photo by Thaddaeus McAdams/FilmMagic 6ix9ine’s Celebratory Dinner Gets Interrupted By Altercation Outside Tekashi 6ix9ine’s  post-sentencing celebration was reportedly interrupted by a non-fatal shooting. According to   NYPD officials, the incident happened around 6 p.m. on Friday night in front of NYC’s Philippe restaurant, where the rapper was having dinner, celebrating with his crew. Commanding Officer, Deputy Inspector Kathleen Walsh said the altercation began when several men tried to enter the restaurant but were denied by 6ix9ine’s private security. The group returned shortly after and allegedly, they proceeded to hit one of the security members with a chair; it was at that time one of the bodyguards opened fire, striking one of the men in the torso. The injured man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, but officials did not provide details about his condition. Authorities are now continuing to investigate the shooting and the relation of the incident–if any—to the Brooklyn rapper This altercation occurred only a few hours after 6ix9ine was sentenced to four years of probation in his 2015 child sex case. This was a pretty lucky break for the rapper, as prosecutors were pushing for a one- to three-year prison sentence throughout the case. As part of his deal with probation, 6ix9ine must perform 1,000 hours of community service and of course, simply stay out of legal trouble. If he fails to adhere to the terms, Tekashi will be re-sentenced and risk some actual time behind bars. Following the hearing, 6ix9ine hit up Instagram with a photo captioned: “GOD IS GOOD GOD IS… GOOD!” He also posted a picture with his daughter a few hours later, citing how thankful he is to be able to celebrate her birthday now that he’s not in jail.

What The Hell??? 8-Day-Old Baby Dies After Contracting Herpes From Someone With A Coldsore

Cropped Hand Of Newborn Baby With Name Tag Baby Dies From Herpes After Getting A Kiss From Adult With A Coldsore Stop kissing other peoples’ babies on the mouth! This story is absolutely heartbreaking… A newborn baby that was only 8 days old passed away after catching herpes from a ‘kiss of death’, her mother has revealed, in an effort to spread awareness. Aliza Rose Friend was just over 1 week old when she passed away after developing neonatal herpes from the HSV-1 virus. Her 19-year-old mother Abigail claims that Aliza was healthy for the first 36 hours of her life, until she developed a fever, became lethargic, and lost any interest in drinking her food. The newborn quickly deteriorated as the disease “ate her lungs and brain,” which left her struggling to breathe and suffering seizures throughout the day. After doctors told Miss Friend and her partner Tyler Hensley there was “real hope” Aliza would make it, she was later declared brain dead on May 20 and medics ended up turning off her life-support. After the plug was pulled, doctors later told Miss Friend that her daughter likely caught the infection after being kissed by someone with the virus, which typically manifests as a cold sore. In a Facebook post that has now gathered more than 500,000 responses, the heartbroken mother wrote to friends and family: “WASH YOUR HANDS. DO NOT KISS BABIES,”  which she included with photos of her late child. “There’s not a moment goes by that I don’t think about her. She’s in my thoughts every day,” Friend said about missing her baby. Although the doctors have informed Friend that her daughter became unwell from either a kiss or after being touched by unwashed, contaminated hands, there is no way of telling who exactly passed the virus on to the baby. Seriously, y’all…stop putting your mouths onto other peoples’ kids. SMH.

Miguel Candela/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Man Robs Subway, Steals Sandwich A Georgia man might’ve made a clean break after robbing a Subway restaurant but his greed for not just money but food took over. The AJC reports that 34-year-old Zachary P. Miller was arrested for robbery by sudden snatching after he entered a local Subway and ordered a sandwich before hopping over the counter and demanding cash. Miller was able to get $100 and was on his way out—-before he turned around to grab his pilfered pile of meat and bread from the establishment. He was arrested Wednesday morning in Knox County, Tennessee. The AJC adds that he has multiple warrants in Tennessee and Georgia. Miller’s ridiculousness gave Charlamagne enough fuel to make him “Donkey Of The Day.” SIGH, was it really worth it Zack???

A Lil’ Positivity: Houston Father Confronts His Son’s School Bully, But Decided To Shower Him With Kindness

(Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images) A Houston Father Uses Kindness To Combat His Son’s Bully   A Houston father took a unique and unconventional approach in helping his son deal with a bully. Aubrey Fontenot decided to sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation with a young man that had been allegedly bullying his 8 year old son at school after the school failed to step in and do something about the situation. After a short talk, he learned the reason as to why the young man was lashing out. “I came with the energy that he was ready to receive,” Fontenot said. “Because a lot of times, just because you want to talk to me doesn’t mean I want to talk to you. But I think he just wanted, he was ready to talk to me. He knew that I cared. He saw it in my eyes.”
