Chicken.com Update

In an earlier post, I made fun of the fact that the business that calls itself "Chicken.com" do not actually own the chicken.com web domain.

A little research has uncovered that they do, however, own the rights to "chicken.uk.com".

Aside from having the wrong URL for their business, I find the website itself quite quaint - observe the "gallery" which shows photos that could be taken in almost any fast food restaurant in the world.

It reminds me of the early days of McDonalds when they would try and convince people that McDonalds was a "restaurant" before fast-food really had an established identity.

The real reason the French hate American culture

I can see why not everyone might be satisfied with calling a piece of fruit "fast food", but if this is indeed the origin of the term, I can see why the French are upset that America stole their idea.

"No one will ever check..."

Yup, you guessed it. These guys don't actually own the holding rights to the Chicken.com domain. When I went there to order delicious chicken I was left unsure what to do with myself.

What happens when children eat it?!

When you are done pondering what "& Etc" could possibly be referring to, cast your attention to the shop window which advertises a singular lemon. One can only guess why this lemon is so special.

Masterful diet tips

A kind religions group distributed these leaflets around student areas a few years ago in an attempt to curb students' terrible diets. This book was about ways to reduce your sugar intake. Bravo guys.

Breakfast in India?

Spotted: Goodbody's all-day breakfast bar, Plymouth, UK

My dad once asked an Indian man what they ate for breakfast. His answer? Cornflakes.

Quick facts: India is a nation strongly associated with vegetarianism, an idea propagated by many strands of Hinduism, the main religion of India. Beef and pork are the two meets most commonly banned in Hinduism. 13% of all Indians are Islamic, a religion that prohibits eating pork. This is why most Indian meat dishes are chicken or lamb based.

All told, the odds of finding bacon in an "Indian Breakfast" outside of the UK are incredibly slim.

Deceptive menu

Spotted: Vancouver Airport, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Even "almost all day" would be exaggerating what this menu really offers.

I would like to point out that this was also in an airport - Vancouver Airport in BC, Canada - where people fly in and out 24 hours a day, crossing time zones. This means 4 pm in Vancouver could be noon to the body clock of someone arriving from a far off realm, thus making them primed and ready for a delicious all day brunch. If only such things existed!
