5 Things: Who Gets Rich When You Buy Dixie Cups?

[Your Song of the Day]

1. It aint easy earning green. Forbes has a very interesting infographic showing who gets rich when you buy your favorite brands. As a consumer, it is nice to know which billionaire gets the dough I spend on gummi bears.

2. Brew that bean. Want to make a better cup of coffee? Lifehacker has a series that will teach you everything you need to know about coffee, and how to make it right. Some of us may give up and just grab some Dunkin' Donuts, and that is okay.

3. It is also just weird. The platypus is one of only two mammals that reproduce by laying eggs. The echidna is the other.

4. Congrats! Brooke Demarest of Amherst was one of 324 undergraduates named to Denison University's 2012 fall semester dean's list by Provost Bradley Bateman. Students who achieve dean's list status have maintained a grade point average of 3.7 or better (out of 4.0) for the semester. Demarest is a member of the Denison class of 2013.

5. Weather Report: Today will bring more snow and a high of 38 degrees. The snowfall should end later in the day and bring a low of 26 degrees. The weekend is looking sunny and warm! Woohoo!
