Snickers and Mr.T Anti-Gay?

Mars Corporation, makers of Snickers, has pulled it’s latest advertising campaign for the peanut filled candy bar after complaints that it was homophobic. But thanks to the Internet and YouTube, you can still view the commercial and decide for yourself.

Now that you’ve watched the video, head over to UTalkMarketing for the details on why the advertisement has been cancelled, and what the company is saying about it.

I think the basic idea of Mr.T firing Snickers bars at people from a Snickers machine gun is pretty funny, but is this version of that concept Anti-Gay? I suppose the remarks “Disgrace to the man race” and “Time to run like a real man” were too much for people to handle. The slogan “Get some nuts” probably didn’t help. What do you think?

Eat Like Snake!

Funny stuff. One of the more interesting fast food commercials I’ve seen. There is some debate what country it came from, but appears to be Burger King of Korea. Make sure to crank up the volume, because the “Eat Like Snake” song is half the fun.

Peek Inside the Krystal Test Kitchen

Here’s a couple fun videos taking us inside the Krystal Test Kitchen, where few have gone before. Hosted by Don Welch, of News Channel 9 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He’s funny and very personable. In Episode-1 we learn about Krystal’s Black Angus ground chuck patties, and a new version of their Scrambler breakfast bowl.

In Episode-2 there’s footage of how the popular Krystal Freeze icy treats are created, and a sneak peek of a new flavor in the MilkQuake real ice-cream line.

MMmmm… those little BBQ bacon cheddar melts look GOOD. If you want to learn more about Krystal or find a restaurant location go to Krystal.com, and don’t forget to visit the friendly folks at Krystalist.com for everything else fans could desire.

Pizza Vending Machine - Video

Pizza from a vending machine. WONDER Pizza promises — “Real, hot crispy pizza in three different choices, served on a practical tray, in short time, less than 2 minutes. The first machine’s part is a refrigeration unit, which holds the temperature of the pizza between 0 and +4C. The right part houses an electrical oven that cooks it with High Intensity Toasted Oven atmosphere (NO MICROWAVE). Each vending machine holds up to 102 pizzas in 3 different flavours (34 each).” – end quote.

Here’s the video. Pretty interesting stuff.

I remember hearing about this being developed a few years ago. There was several million dollars involved in the project, but I never heard anything after that. I certainly haven’t seen any around. Source: WonderPizza.org / WonderPizzaUSA.com

New Wearable Fast-Food Feedbags.

I have nothing to say about this story. The video from TheOnion.com speaks for itself. Besides, it’s difficult to type when I’m laughing this hard. Watch and see what I mean.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s visiting the site today.

Pizza Cones from INDIA, Conizza!

The only thing better than pizza cones, it’s a bunch of happy people dancing to an upbeat music soundtrack — with pizza cones. Make sure to watch the video until the end, so you see the actual broadcast commercial. I loved it. I watched it about a dozen times. There’s just something about the music and dancing that makes me smile and feel good, especially the bearded guy sitting at the table wearing the red turban and necktie, shaking his Conizzas like he was Charo. Good stuff.

What is a Pizza Cone? Simple, it’s basic pizza toppings like meat, cheese, veggies, spices and sauce, packed inside a pizza crust that’s shaped like a cone.

This fast food video comes to us from INDIA, and the Pizza Corner division of Global Franchise Architects (GFA). Conizza is their brand name line of pizza cones.
