OK so dumping thousands of ping pong balls from an airplane for a dorm complex party while in college isn’t exactly the same as this but there are some similarities.

Yesterday, 300 pots of Golden Wonder were dropped from the skies over Portsmouth (UK) and one lucky winner, Tuan Anh Nguyen, 24 years old from Southsea in Portsmouth, took home a pot with £1,000 inside.

The stunt celebrated the launch of The Nation’s Noodle & The Nation’s Pasta, a new line of instant noodle and pasta snacks from Golden Wonder.

Here’s a video of the event.

I stopped biting my tongue at family dinners three years ago — and the silence that followed taught me that some people only loved the version of me that never disagreed with them

I’m 73 and I made the mistake of telling my daughter I was lonely and she immediately started researching senior centers and activity groups and volunteer opportunities — and what I wanted to say was I don’t need a schedule, I need someone to sit with me on a Tuesday and not try to fix the fact that I’m sad
