Little late posting this but it’s still great.
Classic anti-fascist fun.
From this 2014 article:
It sounds like one of Willy Wonka’s rejected ideas: Bubble gum-flavored broccoli.
But the creation was far from fictional: It was a concoction whipped up by the fast-food giant McDonald’s (MCD), with chief executive Don Thompson telling attendees at a Thursday event that the motivation was to create a way to get kids to eat healthier, according to Business Insider.
So why isn’t your local McDonald’s selling bubble-gum flavored brassicas? Apparently adding a sweet flavor to broccoli doesn’t make it any more appetizing to kids, who were confused by the taste, Thompson told the audience. The test comes as the fast-food chain is under pressure to create healthier options, while some consumers are shifting to rivals such as Chipotle (CMG), which promotes its use of organic and local produce.
Still, McDonald’s isn’t giving up on tweaks to its menu. Instead of introducing candy-flavored veggies, it’s focusing on tactics such as reducing the size of its fry servings and adding low-fat yogurt to its Happy Meals.
Asked about the gum-flavored broccoli, McDonald’s responded in an email to CBS MoneyWatch, “We’re always looking at new food innovations and recipes that will appeal to our customers.” It didn’t disclose how the gum flavor was added to broccoli or if it’s working on other approaches to making veggies more appealing to kids.
Happy late April’s Fools.
I can’t tell if this is AI generated or not but there are a lot of absurd songs on this channel – Obscurest Vinyl.
If you really want to feel uncomfortable, feel free to peruse his library.
This kind of video is what this site is all about.
Not sure we needed to prove which was faster but it is pretty cool seeing the shot of F1 cars with the drones trailing. Not a very common camera angle.
I’m sure you’ve heard this song but probably haven’t seen it in this way. Pretty mesmerizing.
No autotune here
Apparently this was a cutscene in Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombie mode.
A little feel good for you today.
The creator has tons of Seinfeld-ified music but you know I love my Doom.
