Pass on a free “virtual kiss” for this! Find me on FaceBook!
For ages we have been using FaceBook apps for god knows what all! From guessing the “the first alphabet from you future husband’s name” to playing a mafia in “Mafia Wars”, the apps have come off age. In fact they have proved to be a very good marketing tool for several websites like digg, twitter, lookbook etc etc to name a few.
BurgerKing has taken a hilarious one step forward, it urges you to delete 10 friends from your FaceBook account and win a free “BURGER”.
And the best part is still to come, the app is visible on your profile and posts the name of that “one friend” you have deleted to win a free “BURGER”.
Go searching for “whopper sacrifice”! Only a limited time offer! eheheh!
It doesn’t. That’s what Coca-Cola’s spokespeople say, anyway. “The great taste of Coca-Cola is the same regardless of the package it comes in,” they insist. Rather, they say, “the particular way that people choose to enjoy their Coke can affect their perception of taste.” Sure, most people would agree that the cola is indeed delicious and refreshing, and pouring it into a glass or serving it over ice could influence the sensation of its flavor. But is it possible that the subtle variation in taste that some notice among aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles is more than just a psychological effect of their soda-consumption rituals?
Given that the formula is always the same, yes, according to Sara Risch, a food chemist and member of the Institute of Food Technologists. “While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur,” she says. For example, the polymer that lines aluminum cans might absorb small amounts of soluble flavor from the soda. Conversely, acetaldehyde in plastic bottles might migrate into the soda. The FDA regulates this kind of potential chemical contact, but even minute, allowable amounts could alter flavor.
Your best bet for getting Coke’s pure, unaltered taste is to drink it from a glass bottle, the most inert material it’s served in. Even that’s not a sure bet, though. Coca-Cola maintains strict uniformity in processes in all of its worldwide bottling facilities, but it concedes that exposure to light and how long the product sits on store shelves may affect the taste. So yeah, the packaging might mess with Coke’s flavor, but we’ll still take it any day over New Coke.

As if Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays weren’t enough. The month of June, 2009 has taken yet another popular figure.
In a shocking press release issued today from the Ronald McDonald Hospital in San Diego, California, Stated that Rondald McDonald has passed away.
He was pronounced dead at 11:07 a.m. McMountain time. Dr. B. Mac told reporters, “I’ve honestly never seen arteries clogged this badly before. I don’t know how he lived this long.”
Ronald McDonald was survived by his wife Mrs. McTasty and their three
children the fry kids.
In recent years, his friends Hamburgler, Mayor McCheese and others have been trying to get him to eat healthier. Serving him side salads and apple dippers. It’s clear now that Ronald didn’t follow their advice.
Jarred, from Subway was quoted saying, “I tried to tell him.”
The (self proclaimed) “King”, was also quoted saying, “he was a worthy franchise giant, but it looks like there will never be any doubt who the real burger king will be.” The King was also seen passing out whoppers to all the saddened children at the Ronald McDonald Hospital.
Ronald had also be
come very angry and had even been seen lashing out towards children. Just last month he was seen passing out “Ronald Mcdonalds” buttons with, less than appropriate messages.
A nurse who had been near his bed when he passed, told reporters, “he grabbed my hand, and I watched a single tear roll down his cheek.” She later went on to say his last words were, “Tell them I am sorry…” Just like that he was gone.
His funeral will be held at the McMid-Town Cemetary near his home town of Playland at 3 p.m. Mcmountain time.
He was 69 years old.
Eat more and still loose weight ??

Behold all you food lovers!! coz now on you won’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. Check out this article for some tips on how to control your metabolism, and lose the right amount of weight in a short period of time, the healthy way.
Steps
- Instead of the traditional 3 meals a day, eat 5 to 6 smaller meals a day.
- Avoid chocolate, cake, brownies, potato chips, ice cream, or any junk food.
- Never starve yourself. It shuts down your metabolism, makes you feel woozy, tired, and makes you hungrier. It also can affect your teeth, causing them to be sticky and full of plaque.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially if you feel like snacking or for dessert.
- Aim to eat ‘good carbs’ (which have a low glycemic index) such as brown rice, oats, whole wheat bread and whole wheat pasta. Try not to have carbs after 5pm as any unused carbs will likely be stored as fat overnight, negating your morning bike session.
- Don’t forget about exercising! When trying to lose weight, some people can get so wrapped up in cutting calories and portion sizes that they forget about the importance of exercise. If it’s hard to start an exercise routine, use Monday as the day to recommit. Take part in a Monday Mile, enrol in a fitness class, or make a schedule to exercise for the week. Healthy Monday is a national non-profit public health campaign that encourages people to use Monday as the day for all things healthy.
- Consider using “High Intensity Interval Training”
- Maintain a steady intake of protein – aim for a minimum of ‘your body weight in pounds’ (in grams) of protein – if you would like to build a bit of muscle, double that, and begin some weight training – this will supercharge your metabolism and greatly increase your body’s fat-burning ability.
- Go on the exercise bike for 20 minutes and on the treadmill for a half hour daily. Morning is the best time, because it burns your calories, but does it after breakfast.
- Alternatively, go on the bike immediately after waking up, as you have had no food in your system all night, and therefore the first place your body will get energy from is the fat stores (not the muscles because you are using them) – bear in mind that after the bike, wait about 20 mins and eat a solid breakfast so your body knows you are not starving (this will be detrimental to the cause).
- Wake up at a normal hour like 7:00, or 8:00 or 9:00 if you are pushing it. Go to bed before midnight–your body needs at least 8 hours of sleep to function the right way.
- Eat breakfast each morning. Eating something in the morning gets your metabolism going and prevents you from binge eating later in the day.
- Drink plenty of water, and cut down on carbonated beverages, particularly those with a lot of sugar. Try to not drink any soda.
Tips
- Try not to eat at fast food restaurants, as their food is full of fat and calories. Subway does have some healthy options. However, if you do choose fast-food, stick to the healthier end of the menu (Most places are adding a variety of salad and fruit options to their menus!)
- If you think you’re going to have a hard time staying on your diet, ask a friend to go on it with you for support.
- Get your whole family involved, because if the family doesn’t change their eating, you will have difficult times avoiding those sweets and etc
- You burn calories before you burn fat. So it is better to have a higher calorie snack then a high fat snack
- A lot of junk food comes in reduced fat by whatever percent, or low fat, low calorie, or smaller portions. Try to only eat 2 items of “healthier” junk food a week such as crispy minnies and low fat cookies.
- Remember that 1 pound of fat is 3500 calories. However, one ice cream cone and 2 tbsps of peanut butter is 500 calories.
- Keep the veggies near the front of the fridge. That way, when you open the fridge, you see the veggies first.
- Don’t drink any beverage that has plenty of sugar in it. Always drink water, it’s good for you.
- Try not to eat after 8:00. If you get hungry, snack on fruits or vegetables.
- Remember not to eat anything right before bed because whatever food you eat stores in your body as fat.
Warnings
- If you change everything immediately, you are going to crave things and over eat. Do this in a slow process.
- Don’t try to drop weight quickly. Your body resists quick weight loss and tries to retain its stored fat. Trick your body into losing the weight by doing it gradually.
