Plus: The Oreo Effect
1. A DVD That Smells Like Domino’s.
It smells like dog shit and late?
–
“The DVDs have thermal ink and flavored varnish to create the effect,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
“When the DVD is played, both materials react to the DVD player’s heat. That changes the DVD from a standard gray disc into an aromatic piece of advertising.”
Fine. But Domino’s? Let’s try pot and donuts next time, people.
2. What A Wonderfilled World.
This song kinda blew up a little on YouTube last week for some reason.

3. Guess What’s Coming To Dinner?
“McDonald’s is considering putting breakfast on the all-day menu, not long after Wendy’s earlier this year ended its national breakfast experiment,” AdAge reports.
“Breakfast accounts for 25% of McDonald’s business and has been one of the biggest opportunities for the restaurant industry – the only area of growth in the past decade, according to NPD.
“And consumer trends in food, including the desire for speed, convenience, portability and more-healthful, fresher options, are driving chains such as Denny’s and even Pinkberry to cash in on the $50 billion restaurant-breakfast category.”
4. Hot Slut Of The Day!
5. The History Of Baseball Stadium Nachos.
6. New Twinkie Maker Shuns Union Labor.
Then I shun Twinkies. I stand with Golden Cake Makers and Creme-Fillers Local No. 1.
7. Venture Capitalists Are Making Bigger Bets On Food Start-Ups.
Sure, now that they’re non-union.
8. Applebee Is For Bankrupt.
“At least eight of Applebee’s 33 restaurants in the Chicago area are expected to close as its local franchisee seeks to reorganize its operations in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a spokesman said,” the Tribune reports.
“The casual-dining chain has 2,000 U.S. restaurants, of which all but two dozen are owned by independent business owners. On April 22, AppleIllinois LLC filed for bankruptcy in the Eastern District of Kentucky. Today, many consumers are trading experiences at restaurants such as Applebee’s for cheaper, faster fare or they’re splurging for a trendier experience.”
Plus, Applebee’s pays more in taxes than Apple.
