NeverEatAlone.com

A thought for people who feel sad and lonely when they eat alone. How about a new website where others will join during meal on a live broadcast. Everyone will be eating their meal and chat with each other if they like. It can work by appointment or without. People on a web cam and a laptop with an internet connection anywhere can join.

It'd be like having an online food buddy or a meal baby sitter join you over meal. It's also great opportunity to meet new people. Bon Appetit! Buon Appetito! Itadakimasu!

Guten Appetit! Bom apetite! Priiatnogo appetita! Kale orexe and...see you over lunch tomorrow!

Ridiculous way to monitor weight

What can be more ridiculous than a weight monitor chair that beeps, vibrates, cracks, moans or otherwise improvises its frustration with every new bite that adds a few extra unwelcome grams to your total weight. Basically, you sit on the chair to eat your lunch/dinner. The chair measures your weight before you indulge your appetite. 90 kilos. Right! Why don't you have a few more bites? 90.5 kilos, Silence..91, beep..91.2, small vibrations..91.5, cracking sounds, 92..loud moans..93, all modes of frustration-expression set loose..100, chair breaks down..there can be many ridiculous ways to lose weight, but few funnier than the one of which I speak. I rest my case..

Kit-Kat in Japan

Today I learned that when Nestle rolled out Kit Kat in Japan, the Japanese couldn't help but notice how close the words "Kit-Kat" were to "Kitto-Katsu" which roughly translates "win without fail". Students began to believe that eating a Kit Kat before they took their exams would result in a higher grade, which was a major reason the Kit Kat brand is doing so well in Japan's overcrowded retail market. Interesting how we can be tricked into consuming a product for its name than its taste. It wouldn't surprise me if for Nestle "Kitto-Katsu" now translates "win without trying" :)

Can you help me hide the last Snickers?

I want the last miniature Snickers for myself and I don't want to eat it just yet. I want to wait until the house is empty and there's no chance of someone coming in and getting a whiff of fresh roasted peanuts when I speak. So I took out the light bulb and replaced it with the miniature Snickers. I'm hoping the darkness can help my cause. Can't think of a better place at the moment. Where would you hide it?

Bar and Restaurant Menus

I was at a bar restaurant recently and I was sitting in a dark area of the store. I could not really read the menu due to the lack of light. I thought it would be good to have menus printed with reflective letters so that they light and make it easier to read them. Maybe only for the name of the drinks and food but not for the prices :-)

Who do they think they are these bartenders??

They are mere employees, their status no higher than that of the cleaning lady but they act as if they own the place. You stand there waiting to give your order and they ignore you. They pretend to keep order but they serve whoever they want first. When you talk to them to remind them it's your turn, they give you that eat-shit look that says I know but I'll serve you when I want. Then they turn around and serve others, usually girls who came to the bar after. Next time I go to that bar I'll bring my own drinks and ask that lowlife to throw them away for me. That should remind this prick of who he is and what he does. Some bartenders are so full of shit they forget that.

Turn off your mobile phone, don't play with your keys but feel free to eat pop-corn or snacks while watching a movie. Silence is gold but gold is hard to get in the movies! Pop-corn munching, paper folding...if the theater is full, then eating corn and drinking pop makes very annoying noise. If silence Is gold, why don't we ban pop-corn and other food in the movies so we can all get rich?
