If you thought the food offered at many fast food joints couldn’t get any worse, just wait. As I read in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and other prominent chains are in a bidding war to hit the lowest rung on the pricing ladder. Apparently, ordering from the dollar menu has gotten a little too [...]

Food brand product placement has been around for a long time. In the early 1900′s, during the infancy of cinema, even before “talkies” had been realized, savvy companies have been paying film makers for brief brand cameos on the big screen, in an attempt to make new customers out of a captive audience.

My first memory of a McDonald’s pie was during a third grade field trip. No, we weren’t lucky enough to score a full fledged Mickey D’s store tour. It was when stopped for lunch, after a traumatizing visit to a petting zoo which housed an overly affectionate goat named Randy. Back in the good old [...]

Being a night owl has two negatives: 1) scary noises, and 2) missing breakfast. The former can be countered by turning up the TV volume. The latter, however, is much more troubling, because breakfast is clearly the best meal. Of course, homemade breakfast can be had at any time of the day. There’s nothing stopping [...]
