  Speaker 1: We talked about this a couple hours ago, but you know,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: brand new audience, maybe you missed it. And you did
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: this story, and I love it. How long has cereal
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: been around?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: 163 years?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Something like that?
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: And they finally came up with this.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Yep. Cheerios is finally fixing one of breakfast's most annoying problems,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that impossible-to-close cereal bag. General Mills has teamed up with
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Ziploc to create a new resealable bag inside traditional Cheerio boxes.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: The zipper-style seal creates a built-in Pour a spout, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's designed to keep cereal fresher, longer, without the usual folding, rolling,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and flipping.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yes. This, I mean, again, why so long to come
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: up with this? Why did it take so long? Why?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But it's brilliant. They should do every cereal like this.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I know. I hope they do. I hope this starts
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a trend.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Wow. All right. Anyway, we did that.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: That was part of our cool things. We do that
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: every morning at 625. We give you fun facts and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: fun information. And this actually would qualify as a cool thing.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: if we were doing it at 625 tomorrow.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Definitely think so. Congratulations to Carol Fair. Who is Carol Fair?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: She is a Charlotte-based flight attendant who has just retired
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: after 63 years on the job.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: That is a long time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: She received a warm welcome from co-workers, family, and friends
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: when she arrived at Charlotte Douglas International Airport from London
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: on Monday. So she did an international flight.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: They played bingo the whole flight.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: That was her final flight. She began her career in
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: 1963 with Piedmont Airlines.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I used to fly at Piedmont. Do you remember Piedmont?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: You seriously know?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The first time I ever flew, 81.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. I don't even remember them.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Piedmont and Eastern Airlines were the two big ones. Wow.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, well, she retires as American Airlines' most senior
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: flight attendant. She's a Tennessee native, inducted into both the
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame and the North Carolina Transportation
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. And she plans on volunteering with the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: VA during retirement.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: What kind of cute jokes can you make about a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: flight attendant being 83?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Besides the bingo being played on the plane? Did the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: plane land at 4 o'clock and they had dinner?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: In time for dinner. In time for the blue plate special.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Was Jeopardy shown the whole time? And Wheel of Fortune?
• 2:10
