I heard about this yesterday on one of my favorite blogs – “Pop Candy” by Whitney Matheson at USA Today.  If you are not reading this blog everyday, then you should!

Ben & Jerry’s is running a contest where you get to develop your own ice cream combination.  Here’s mine:

Yup – Khoco Karmel Koffee Kone KA-POW Krunch!

It features chocolate and coffee ice cream with a salted carmel swirl and pieces of chocolate coated waffle cones and pecans!  YUM, YUM, Come Get Some! (unfortunately bacon was not an available choice for a mix-in.)

You can make your own flavor HERE.  When you do you will be registered to win one of 19 First Place prizes of a Trip to the Dominican Republic to visit one of their Free Trade Farms and the ultimate Grand Prize – your ice cream featured in scoop shops around the world. (Official Rules).

So have some fun and go make some ice cream!

I have been pretty good lately avoiding the burger chains around work (we have Wendy’s, McDonald’s and BK surrounding my office).  After watching this, looks like I’ll be having a salad for lunch…

I mean really???  REALLY???

Things like this fascinate me.  First, there is just the whole disgusting grease thing.  It is pretty gross.  Second though is the fact that this guys was sitting around (probably drinkin’) and had the idea to not only see how much grease was in the burgers, but then to paint with them, but not just paint but do it on a giant canvas and recreate the “Mona Lisa”. 

Better Half and I have a phrase for when we see something like this (or really bad advertising) and that’s “Fly on the Wall”.  Oh to be a fly on the wall and hear the conversations that went into developing this idea and then taking it to conclusion.  So in future posts, when you see “Fly on the Wall” you’ll know what I mean…

Make it a great day!
