Yes, m’dear, those curiously wonderful people at Altoids have taken their delightful little mints and, in a brazen dash of audacity, dipped them (positively dipped them), in a generous bath of dark chocolate giving us the munch of the moment. A munch that makes for an oh-so-clever little Valentine’s Day surprise. A surprise that fits [...]

Well, erm, it depends. According to the Mayo Clinic (I go them a lot because they seem to be an impartial [...]

Well, here is a truly amusing little tidbit. Domino’s Pizza, famous for cheap, delivered pizza, has got itself into a spot of trouble for putting this phrase at the bottom of its news releases: “NOTE TO EDITORS: We love to feed the media!
