Five Things for Thursday:
1. Reese's plans to start selling vegan Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate bars. The chocolates are made with oats instead of milk and will be available at the end of the month.
2. Dairy Queen is going to hold their Free Cone Day on March 20th at participating non-mall locations. The company says, “We like to think of Free Cone Day as the beginning of our favorite season – treat season! All you have to do is show up and order!”
3. Washington DC police are looking for an inmate who escaped yesterday in his underwear. Kenneth Phillips was being transported to a hospital for treatment when he fled on foot. Cops say he was last seen wearing red and blue underwear. Phillips was in jail for burglary.
4. It's National "Get Over It Day"!
5. (Fun Fact): Bourbon is named after Bourbon County, Kentucky. 95% of bourbon is still made in Kentucky today . . . but there's only one distillery in Bourbon County, and it just opened in 2014. Before prohibition, there were dozens of distilleries there.
