Along with my daily intake of protein drinks, creatine, and vitamins, I often have a few eggs at night prior to bed just to squeeze in a few more ounces of protein before hitting the gym the next day. Last night I cracked into my second egg and found that it had two yolks:
I had never encountered this before, but apparently this isn’t an entirely unusual occurrence. From a bit of research I’ve discovered that over 75 billion eggs are produced in the United States, and roughly 3-5% of those eggs are double-yolks. Larger hens, or hens that are overfed at the beginning of their laying cycle, are more likely to produce them. The record for the number of yolks in one egg is nine.
Something to think about next time you sit down for breakfast…
To get into the marketing game you have to be smart, hip, and able to see beyond the next fad. It seems though that, at times, all of the good ideas have been taken, co-opted, and perverted until all hint of what made them special is lost. But, after seeing this clip, I’m renewed with a sense of awe at how “attention getting” this particular advertising gimmick is:
I know that similar ideas have been shared in the past, but I’ve never seen it applied to such affect. I can picture an intern, after having pulled the short straw, sitting alone in his cubicle with a tube of glue in one hand and a struggling fly in the other, wondering what poor choices in life had brought him to such lows…
Spotted this while stuck in traffic on my way to work yesterday. I normally don’t shill for companies, but this one had a pitch that was unusual enough to warrant the exposure
While channel surfing this past Sunday night, I was lucky enough to happen upon the Padres/Giants baseball game. As the batters took their stances, an unusual…something…could be seen in the crowd. I stared for several minutes, trying to make sense of what I was looking at until Karin, who plopped down on to the couch behind me, pointed excitedly at the television and shouted, “Panda!”
Sure enough, it did indeed look like a giant panda was sitting in the stands, getting some excellent TV air time with every batter. WTF? Is this some sort of meme I’m not aware of?
I really wish this game was showing on a high definition channel. Would have loved to have snagged a better pic.
