Foods We Loved as Kids, Maybe Not as Adults
When I was a kid, my mom would never buy Fruity Pebbles no matter how much I begged. So on the rare occasions I could get a bowl of those flourescent colored flakes of sugar-death, it was an awesome experience. Now I retch at the thought of eating them.
And here's another vote in favor of fig newtons. I think I actually like them more as an adult than I did as a kid.

Ha! She was rick-rolled by a singing telegram? That's awesome.
Group of College Presidents Wants to Lower Drinking Age to 18
Let your kids have an occasional sip of warm Budweiser when they're young, and the allure of booze will be dashed before they even reach high school.
In Videos: 12-Mile Walk for Free Cheeseburger
This weekend I'll be going to NYC for a visit, and whenever I do I tend to do a lot of walking all over the city... close to 12 miles worth I'm sure. In the end, I'll be rewarded with a Shake Shack burger.
Ruby Tuesday Punks Us All, Blows Up Wrong Restaurant
Sounds like a "had to be there" type of thing, which doesn't work very well for a national marketing campaign. I imagine if you're standing there watching the Ruby Tuesday's waiting for it to blow and the restaurant across the street goes up in smoke you'd be effectively suprised. But in print, it's boring.
Water Works: How To Make Seltzer at Home
I live by bottled water. I can't drink tap water, at least not here in New Jersey. *shudder* I've looked closely at a glass of NJ tap water in the light, and there's definitely *something* in there, and on a bad day the taste and smell can be really offensive. I can't believe it's healthy to drink. Anyway, I don't really like anything carbonated, so this club soda thing is not for me. I DO recycle all of the plastic water bottles, at least.
Viral Stride Gum Videos Featuring Matt Dancing Around the World
I am so jealous of this guy. What a job.
The videos are fun to watch, but I bet they were even more fun to make.

Wendy's Onion Failburger
It appears as though it is not the onion who has failed the burger, but the burger has failed the onion.
Wendy's Onion Failburger
Those Stack Attacks are tiny. I'd only find it satisfying if I ate it after already eating a satisfying meal. >_>
Wendy's Onion Failburger
In a pinch, I have to say the Stack Attack can be quite satisfying. Unfortunately, in the end (no pun intended) it goes wrong.
Wendy's Onion Failburger
I never thought I'd see an onion with a burger as a condiment...
"Wendy's: It's not fast food....it's tiny fast food."
Wendy's Onion Failburger
Everytime I go to Wendy's, it's a failburger.
But this makes me think of good old Clara going...
"Where's the beef?!" except this time it's "Where's the burger?"

I think it's a cheeseburger with the bun sitting to the side

About: I'm an omnivore from New Joisey. I can't cook worth a lick, but I love when people cook good stuff for me. I love going to New Yawk for the good foods people cook for me there.

Last bite on earth: Hopefully a really good piece of meat - a good burger or steak.
