Where my Peeps at?
I had a nice Easter weekend full of chocolate bunnies, fake plastic grass, and peeps. Okay, so I lied about the peeps. Does anybody over age 10 actually like those things? You know, those marshmallows shaped like chicks and covered in yellow sugar? Apparently there are also peeps shaped like hearts, pumpkins, and gingerbread men, but they don't seem to be quite as ubiquitous as the bright yellow Easter chick. If you'd like, you can play Peep Invaders or Peepsteroids...all part of the Marshmallow Peeps in Outer Space series. Seriously.
McDonald's and Wendy's have recently tried to give their menus a bit of a "healthy makeover", adding salads and milk to co-exist with soda and fries. Burger King has decided to go in the exact opposite direction, adding an almost comically unhealthy sandwich to their breakfast menu. It has accurately been named the Enormous Omelet Sandwich, providing those anti-calorie counters 47 grams of fat and 730 calories for just under 3 bucks. I applaud Burger King for being the first company to invoke the "If you can't beat 'em, do the EXACT opposite of 'em" business philosophy. I think I can trust Hufton to be the first to try this sandwich and report his findings. He was, after all, the top seed going into the oft-discussed and never-transpiring BK Value Menu Challenge.
I stayed up too late last night watching The World's Strongest Boy on TLC. Though it made me feel like the wimpiest wimp in Pansyville, I couldn't stop watching. In short, this kid is 11, has the most ridiculous six-pack abs I've ever seen, and bench pressed over 200 pounds when he was 8 years old. It's on a few more times if you're interested.
I need a new blog poll...any suggestions?
