Who needs eggs when you can dye marshmallows? Jet-Puffed is selling $2 dye kits — which include a 24-oz bag of extra large marshmallows — for a creative and more cost-effective take on the egg-dyeing tradition. Pair that with this local egg hunt at Warner Park, and you won’t even miss ‘em. (CNN)
Number
$150,000. That’s the deposit required to make like Katy Perry and shoot across the sky on Blue Origin’s next launch into space. Take it a bit easier on your wallet — but not your adrenaline — with one of these local activities for daredevils.
Sports
Mascots are having a moment. According to a Digiday report, more and more companies are using mascots to stand out. That’s not news to us — Looie the Lookout always has a place in our hearts.
Seasonal
Tomorrow begins Taurus season — an earth sign associated with persistence and stubbornness. If this is your sign, find out which Chattanooga neighborhood is your perfect match. Don’t worry, we’ve also found a companion for every other zodiac sign, too.
