Word on the street is that the “Classic” will no longer be attached to Coke.  This closes an interesting chapter for the soda giant – the Classic title distinguishing the soda from its “New” version unvelied in the mid-1980′s. Oh, New Coke, has it really been 24 years since you burst onto the scene? Ahh, the memories. If [...]

I’m sure many of you are putting together your Super Bowl plans, and either figuring out what to take to a watching party, or what you should make for your guests.  I have an idea of what not to do.  The good folks at Holy Taco put together what they call “The Greatest Snack Food [...]

Leading up to the Super Bowl, there is usually buzz associated with certain ads – ones that companies hope will make a big splash during the game for whatever product/agenda they are pushing.  However, some ads don’t even need to make the air to hit their mark.  One example is the now infamous PETA ad, which [...]

I’m sure many of you were closely following the Inauguration this morning, as I was, knowing the historical impact of this incredible event.  Then, like me, once the event was over, you probably thought, what will President Obama’s first meal be?  Like everything else on this day, these details have been planned for a long [...]

Facebook has decided to disable the Whopper Sacrifice application. It’s interesting that they would shut down an application that has proved so popular, but perhaps for Facebook, an application that reduces your friend list is bad for business? I can’t think of any other reason they would do so.  Over the time that the Whopper Sacrifice campaign was live, [...]

This product is found in the health food/organic aisle in my Giant. Health food. Herring in sour cream. Does not compute. I’ve had my eye on this one for a while, but the fear has always stopped me. It is extreme. This week I put on my big girl panties and grabbed the jar. Pray [...]
