I saw the headline click bait. And I thought to myself, this story seems sketchy. It only took me to the 5th paragraph (If my fingers were working correctly to determine, yes it is click bait.)

An image of a McDonald's bill showing that an Egg McMuffin cost a customer $7.29 in Fairfield, Connecticut, has gone viral on social media, with users calling the cost of the breakfast treat "outrageous."

In a post published on X, formerly known as Twitter, the account Bespoke, representing the New York-based Bespoke Investment Group, shared a picture of a breakfast bill, writing: "$7.29 for one McDonald's Egg McMuffin.

My guess? I won't live that long. But good on Edith “Edie” Recagno Keenan Ceccarelli, of Willits, California. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A birthday celebration is coming up for a California woman who is the oldest documented, living person in the United States, according to the Gerontology Research Group.

Edith “Edie” Recagno Keenan Ceccarelli, of Willits, California, will turn 116 and be celebrated with a drive-by parade on Feb. 4.

“We’re hoping the weather is going to be cooperative so they can have her out and view the parade and the parade people can see her,” Evelyn Perisco said.

Ceccarelli is a pillar in the community, and her birthday in recent years has become a community tradition.

Born on Feb. 5, 1908, with Recagno as her maiden name, Ceccarelli is the second-oldest person in the world. The world’s oldest person is 116-year-old Maria Branyas of Spain
