Today is Wednesday, February 12th, and these are the top stories making headlines halfway through the week:
The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will hold their victory parade on Friday, coinciding with Valentine’s Day. So it looks like the most popular gift girlfriends in Philly will give this year is bail.
This year Build-A-Bear unveiled a new Valentine’s Day cougar. You can find the cougars on shelves next to much younger bears. In more Valentine’s Day news, Dominos has joined the deluge of brands looking to cash in by releasing a pepperoni pizza perfume. The perfume is said to be highly effective on both stoned men and sober racoons.
During the Super Bowl, President Trump announced he’s told the U.S. Treasury to stop minting pennies. Essentially, the president said it was time to get rid of them because they’re a waste of time and money — Then he looked at Eric and Don Jr. and sighed.
In a meeting with allies, Defense secretary Pete Hegseth called Ukraine’s current peace goals unrealistic — Although he remains optimistic, adding, “there’s nothing a few margaritas can’t fix.”
Taco Bell is offering a $777 wedding package at its Cantina location on the Las Vegas Strip, providing couples with a unique, fast-food-themed ceremony. The package includes an Elvis impersonator, Vegas showgirls, and a private chapel for up to 25 guests. And if you upgrade to the delux package, they give you the bathroom key.
