Coca Cola Super Chilled Confession

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

My name is Beth, and I am a Coke whore. And now that I know about Coca Cola's latest soft drink innovation, I may need to go ahead and submit my application for an Intervention.  Launching early next year in the UK, Coca Cola fans will be able to enjoy a Super Chilled Sprite. The drink bottle will contain technology that will cool the drink by creating ice from the Sprite when the top is twisted off. 

One word of warning, dropping a Mentos into a Super Chilled drink might put an eye out.

Today: Chocolate Covered Strawberries on a Stick - This food on a stick is not your run of the mill State Fair fare. Gourmet in both taste and presentation, chocolate covered strawberries on a stick also have natural endorphine boosting qualities. The only draw back to this food on a stick is that, while you can eat it with only one hand, you will need to use the other to catch the juices and chocolate drippings as you eat. This gives it a slight disadvantage over other food on a stick mainstays.

The next time you get a hankering for the old In And Out, check out FastFoodMaps.com, and their completely insane fast food mashup.  With over 50+ cities to choose from, you should be able to find a burger or a chicken leg before you can even say, "Fast Food Mashup!"

But before you start salivating, you might want to watch Morgan Spurlock's documentary, Supersize Me, which you can order here from Amazon.com. (For only $6.99 now!)

Except from the Amazon Editorial Review:
"Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, rejected five times by the USC film school, won the best director award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival for this alarmingly personal investigation into the health hazards wreaked by our fast food nation. Under extensive medical supervision, Spurlock subjects himself to a steady diet of McDonald's cuisine for 30 days just to see what happens. In less than a week, his ordinarily fit body and equilibrium undergo dark and ugly changes: Spurlock grows fat, his cholesterol rockets north, his organs take a beating, and he becomes subject to headaches, mood swings, symptoms of addiction, and lessened sexual energy. The gimmick is too obvious to sustain a feature documentary; Spurlock actually spends most of the film probing insidious ways that fast food companies worm their way into school lunchrooms and the hearts of young children who spend hours in McDonald's playrooms. French fries never looked more nauseating. " --Tom Keogh

I know that Supersize me is old news, but seriously, if you're even thinking about bookmarking FastFoodMaps.com, you might need a fresh look at the film!
