Wendy's French Fries

Today is National Frozen Yogurt Day! Grab a friend and share a refreshing cup of frozen yogurt, the amazing dessert which manages to taste almost as good as ice cream while not being particularly healthier! But – before you start feeling ‘Breyers remorse,’ remember that at least you can pretend frozen yogurt is healthier! Today is National Chocolate Fondue Day. Although this day doesn’t warrant taking off of work, it most certainly permits a cheat-day for anyone miserably dieting. Fondue fanatic...

Breadstick Bouquets

The first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses in Iowa are crawling toward completion. Chaos and disarray have apparently paralyzed the process after the state party announced it had found "inconsistencies" in reporting the results. Word is, we’ll get the results later today – after a manual hand count. Valentine’s Day is next week and you could go with the traditional route with chocolate or flowers, or you could show your Valentine how much you care with a bouquet of Olive Garden breadsticks.

The Moo Virus

It was on this date in 1959 that Buddy Holly, J.P. “the Big Bopper” Richardson and Ritchie Valens boarded a plane bound for Fargo, North Dakota, which crashed, killing everyone aboard. The night before, they had given what would be their final concert in Clear Lake, Iowa as part of the “Winter Dance Party” tour. After last night's Super Bowl, we ventured out into the Internet in search of some trivia and interesting facts on Super Bowl 54. A North Dakota man apparently takes his hair cuts very s...

Meat Patch

The chicken sandwich war that Popeyes kicked off last year has apparently led to a CHICKEN SHORTAGE. Chicken sandwich mania began last year when Popeyes started selling TONS of sandwiches. The hype drove Chick-fil-A's sales up too. Now McDonald's and Wendy's are also planning to step up their efforts to sell more chicken sandwiches. The hottest video game console of 1982 wants to become the hottest hotel chain of 2020. Sure, why not. Atari just announced they're launching a new line of HOTELS. A...

Tasty Salty Nuts

Toilet lovers should be flushing with pride this morning, because today is Thomas Crapper Day! The unfortunately named Londoner founded Thomas Crapper and Co. in 1861 and popularized the modern, flushable toilet. Now this is not something you hear very often in the news but a South Carolina deputy was forced to pull out his taser and use it on his own K-9 partner. According to the National Chicken Council, Americans will eat a record 1.4 BILLION chicken wings over Super Bowl weekend. But a new s...

The Taint Band-Aid

A friend of mine just posted a story about how he handled a situation when he found out a woman he'd been dating was just using him for free meals. A Florida woman is facing a battery charge after flinging a bucket of human feces on her landlord and trying to cover it up. Joanne Mercader first claimed that it was in fact her landlord who did the poop slinging, saying, "my landlord just broke into my house and assaulted me." Be very careful about who you criticize on social media. A Canadian man ...

Back From Vacation

As the 2010s come to a close, we’re looking back at some of the foods and drinks people became obsessed with over the last 10 years.

A Massachusetts couple is making headlines for getting married in the most unusual setting. A Dunkin' Donuts was their choice to say their vows. Some Christmas gifts should come...
