Grab a drink on them – Mickey D’s has you covered on hot days
I know McDonald’s gets a bad rap quite often, but this is still kinda cool. They froze 4,000 Canadian dollar coins into a large block of ice to advertise their $1 drinks. Throughout the 5 hour span it lasted, thousands of people were able to grab a cool drink on them.
Or at least that’s the general idea. I wonder how many people actually grabbed a McDonald’s drink that day. I’m sure even more were spreading the word regardless, though.
Cleary Fresh Bags Review
A while back…well, a long while back actually….Anne contacted me about reviewing the Clearly Fresh Bags. She was awesome enough to even ship me a sample to Canada. And then even more awesome by being patient while I disappeared to BlogHer and tried to get settled back in.
On the up side, though, I put fruit into the bags before I left for the conference for a week, so I was able to give a legit review of the bags. They worked great! I took some pictures, but they didn’t really turn out that well ‘cause you can’t tell much difference. I’ll show you some from their site, though, and will try to get better pictures from the next attempt with the bags I do. I don’t want to make these guys wait any more than I already have, though.
The video above gives some really good tips on how to use them. It’s kinda sad they can’t really be used more than a few times since you can’t wash them and still keep the BreatheWay patch working, but I don’t feel so bad because each use lasts a couple weeks really.
There’s a lot more information on how the bags work on the site, too. Basically, it let’s the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. :P I don’t know the details of what’s actually in the breathe membrane, but it seems to work.
So far, I’ve only tried them with a couple different types of produce (blueberries and lettuce), but I’m looking forward to trying them out with already cut fruits and things like peaches that seem to either last a while or go bad rather quickly. I’m wondering if they’d work well on mushrooms, too….they’re not on the list and not a fruit or veggie, but still a produce that tends to go bad.
Want to try them out yourself? It looks like you can buy them straight through the site for $4 for 10 bags. Keep in mind that the bags are really big, too, so you’re not buying little rinky-dink ziplocs here.
And if you have any other questions about them, feel free to ask in the comments or email me. I know I didn’t get too detailed here, but their site has a lot of great info and I’ll likely post about them again as I try them out more. :)
Carnivores love immigrants? – Here, have some offensive images(Wordless Wednesday)
"A lot of my friends are vegans now, which I don’t care, eat whatever you want. I just think that my least favorite part of the vegan diet is the verbal part where they explain it to you. It’s just endless. They’re like, "I’m vegetarian, but I don’t eat milk or honey because it takes animal labor to make milk and honey and I think that’s wrong." And it just always strikes me as childish logic, it’s like "I like bees and I like cows…more than the immigrants that pick the vegetables that I eat."
(Shhh, it’s a joke. Mostly. Don’t you dare get all offended. :P And yeah, there are words, but they weren’t my words.)
(Shhh, this one is also a joke. But it’s only fair to insult more than one set of people so nobody can really be allowed to take offense, right? It’s okay to giggle. Then close the screen and forget we had this wordless conversation)
(Too far? Oops.)
(Oh, what the heck, what’s one more….?)
