Coke Adds Style

Introducing the new limited line of Diet Coke, as designed by Nathalie Rykiel (Sonia's little girl).



Wait, aren't horizontal stripes fattening?

Heads Up Hungry, Poor People!

On Tuesday, 3rd February, Denny's will be offering everyone in America a free Grand Slam breakfast, from 6 AM to 2 PM. Awesome. I'm so there.

Well do I remember getting a Starbucks coffee for free after telling the gullible college kid working the mocha machines that I had just voted. Hey, I deserved a free coffee even if I early voted! Though if it had been me, I would've asked for a rum totty instead, given that voting for McCain makes anyone want to get sloshed...

I also asked for and got my free Taco at Taco Bell when that player stole a base during the World Series.

Furthermore, I never miss a Ben & Jerry's freebie cone day, despite the fact that I hate ice cream (I know, I'm weird).

It's just that if it has the word "free" in it, I'm there.

Now, which Denny's shall I choose to go to?

It may be the Miracle Mile Denny's since there are less homeless folk in Coral Gables. I mean, this is homeless people bonanza day, right? It's been cold recently down here, so if they work the enormous queues which will no doubt be present that day, I'm sure they can get enough to afford a nice coffee to go with their egg and ba-ke.

Clever move, Denny's. When hard times hit, people eat. Hey, can I get a Mother Butler's pie to go?



IMPORTANT UPDATE: Oops, apparently according to this blogger, not all Denny's will be participating. Just call up ahead, to see if your chosen restaurant will be.

UPDATE: Guess what? I didn't go. I arrived shortly after 7 AM to see an already strained carpark in my chosen locale, completely shrunk of spaces. I'm glad Denny's did it though.

Whopper Droppers

In what is perhaps the daftest ad campaign since Absolut reclaimed California for Mexico, Facebook and Burger King are hooking up and their angle is simple:

Think you have too many Facebook chums? Well, drop 10 of them, and get a free whopper! It's called the Whopper Sacrifice.

The kicker is that those ten so-called friends of yours will all be notified about their being dumped by you, and the reason why (they value a meal more than you) -- with the whole of your mutual friends knowing about it too, if you have the announcement setting on Facebook configured that way.



I'm on Facebook somewhere (I created an account some years ago, and never again logged on), but I know my cousins in the UK are absolutely addicted to this site. I can imagine their consternation when they find out they've been dropped by others for a flaming patty.

Forget Whopper Virgins. These are whopping losers.

P.S.: I like BK more than Mickey Ds, but I wouldn't drop a friend for a burger. Now, for a limited time only McDonald's Rib Sandwich, yes. You're history.
