Mauna Loa… the world’s largest active volcano… located on the big Island of Hawaii is erupting for the first time in 38 years.
- Experts say there’s no lava flowing right now... but one resident, a Mr. D. Ho did report seeing "Tiny Bubbles". (Ba da Boom!)

He asked everybody to shout out where they were from and one guy yelled that he’d flown in from Japan. Don said, “Hey… Welcome. But next time… No Surprises, okay?” (True!)

A Florida woman is suing Kraft Heinz for $5 MILLION claiming their Microwavable Velveeta Shells & Cheese cups takes longer to prepare than the 3 and 1/2 minutes that it says on the label.
