Denny’s Calls Out ‘Man v. Food’ Star Adam Richman

Denny's Calls Out 'Man v. Food' Star Adam Richman

In a fun piece of marketing, Denny’s throws itself into the ring with Man v. Food host Adam Richman, calling him out to fill up at the iconic diner. For the price of a press release, Denny’s gets to hype its menu via Twitter and Facebook. Plus, if the Travel Channel actually accepts the challenge, Denny’s will donate money to a worthy cause. Even if it is a prearranged bit of hype, the idea is pretty good–and makes me wonder how much it would really cost to fill up on biscuits and gravy. And french fries. And Grand Slams. And…

Spherical Pie For Pi Day

Spherical pie for Pi Day.

It’s that time of year again: 3/14. Or, as some might say 3.14. Whatever Pi Day means to you, what better way to celebrate than with a spherical pie? Instructables user starshipminivan has it all mapped out for you:

FOMZ, Zero Gravity Fruit in a Can

There are never-ending options when it comes to mixers. This is a good thing, as a little squirt of this or a dash of that can change the entire complexion of an alcoholic beverage. Usually however, those mixers don’t come in foam form. Enter FOMZ, a new foamy alternative to traditional mixers. The innovative edible contains no alcohol on its own, so it can also be used for virgin beverages. Using nitrous oxide as a propellant, the foamy goodness comes out of the can similar to how a whipped cream canister operates. Just point and squeeze.

Press release and in-action video after the jump.

Majority of Respondents Start Their Day with a Hot Breakfast and Conversation, Though Many Have Invited Gadgets Like iPads and Mobile Devices to the Table

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In honor of National Hot Breakfast Month, Log Cabin Syrup released today the results from its first Breakfast Table Traditions Survey. The poll of more than 1,000 respondents, intended to create a snapshot of modern American family views and behaviors towards breakfast, revealed that the first meal of the day remains an integral part of everyday life – 94 percent start the day off with breakfast.

More than half of those polled stated they make a conscious effort to choose breakfast options they feel good about for themselves and their families (56 percent), with nearly half (49 percent) stating they are trying to remove high fructose corn syrup from their family’s diet.
