2. Law enforcement officials in Michigan could be getting new police cars. Ford announced their Mustang Mach-E is being sent to Michigan State Police's annual vehicle evaluation to see how it holds up against the current cars and trucks available to police departments.

The electric Mach-E will be tested on its performance across a variety of tests, including braking, acceleration, and lapping.

However, pepperoni pizza is the most popular. According to a poll by YouGov, 64 percent of Americans say pepperoni is their favorite pizza topping.
