Dear blog

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Dear blog,

I’ve neglected you for some time now. Longer than in the past, but I want you to know that I haven’t forgotten about you. I still sign in and clear your insides of offers for drugs, vitamins, casinos and insurance.

Have faith, as I’ll return soon enough and continue to waste space, right here on the internet.

Thanks for understanding.

Food for thought

Friday, February 1st, 2008

With Super Bowl Sunday just around the corner, most of us are planning our menus now. With that in mind, I thought I’d share a few facts on the food a lot of us will be eating.

On Sunday, Americans will nibble on:

  • 11.2 million pounds of potato chips
  • 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips
  • 4.3 million pounds of pretzels
  • 3.8 million pounds of popcorn
  • 2.5 million pounds of nuts

and that all totals up to about 27 billion calories.
