McDonalds hero?

Charles Ramsey is a hero. He saved three women and a little girl who were being held hostage in Cleveland. When questioned, he said that he did this while holding a half eaten big mac because he saved them right after going to McDonalds. In response to this major marketing opportunity, McDonalds tweeted "We salute the courage of Ohio kidnap victims & respect their privacy. Way to go Charles Ramsey - we'll be in touch." Unfortunately for Micky D's however, soon after they posted this tweet Ramseys charges for domestic violence, burglary and drug abuse, and his jail sentence back in 2003 were uncovered.

Shrimp

Do you love shrimp? Well apparently so does the rest of America. May 10 is national shrimp day. Just eat shrimp anyway you possibly can. Boil it, fry it, grill it, whatever suits you. 

Here are some good shrimp tips to make your tastebuds dance and really celebrate this minor holiday:

1. cook the shrimp, then drizzle melted butter all over it
1. put a little piece of butter in a bowl and put the bowl in the microwave
2. cook the shrimp, then cover it in alfredo sauce
3. put your teeth right at the end of the flesh so you get as much meat as possible without any tail
4. cover the shrimp in hot sauce
5. if you put all the shrimp in a bowl after cooking it, a puddle of shrimpy juice should collect at the bottom, dip the shrimp in that puddle for extra flavor

Pizza

There's a "rumor" going around the world that americans are the fattest people on the planet. I recently went on google trends and found something that cracked me up. Google trends is a function of google that tells you what the most searched items on the popular search engine. I wanted to see what the top 10 searches were in the United States in 2013 in the "Food and Drink" Category. I was amused to find that four of the items on that list were "pizza", "pizza hut", "dominos", and "papa johns" in that order. Check it out for yourself here.
