McDonald’s buys product placement on Las Vegas morning news (via Slashfood)
“…At Fox affiliate, KVVU, morning anchors now display plastic cups of McDonald’s iced coffee on the podium, where a station-branded coffee mug used to sit. They hardly ever touch these cups, and the printed-on labels are angled for best viewing. The station readily admits that it’s a sponsored promotion and defends the practice by saying that they cups don’t come out until they start airing the lighter morning news at 7 a.m.”
You know how no one really eats the crusts of a loaf of bread? I sure don’t. And just today, 3 days before my 26th birthday, I’ve realized that instead of lifting up the crust piece to get to proper slices everytime I go to eat bread, I could simply just throw away the crust when I open a new loaf. Never considered than an option before. Changes everything.I never throw away the front-butt either. I’m perfectly fine throwing away both butts at the end, but I think I’d feel wasteful tossing the front-butt right when I open the bag. It’s really just denial: for the majority of the loaf, I can safely think, “I’m not wasting the butts. I might eat them.”
I find the butts often make the best toast. I wonder if/how the crust actually changes how it toasts. I still leave the ends of the loaf until the end to keep the next slice fresher though. I have no idea if this actually makes a difference and am only now questioning this practice.
I save the front to keep the next slice fresh as well. I don’t know if there is any scientific legitimacy either, but my brain sure thinks there is.
