I thought it was candy

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I’ve had this “Meal Replacement Bar” in my desk for a couple weeks, and finally got desperate enough to try it. (One for hate of the extra weight I’ve put on in the past month, two for lack of money to go get anything else.) It’s the South Beach Diet brand made by Kraft. Chocolate and Peanut Butter ‘flavor’. I have to say… it was good! Really good! I took the first bite after bracing myself and found myself savoring every bite. Wow… I didn’t know diet food was this good! LOL.
Stats, for those who must know:

210 Calories
19g Protein
6g Fiber
23 Vitamins and Minerals, all but one being 25% RDA

Wow, that’s no joke! I might have to get some more of these.

Text Messaging Dinner

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Gotta love it when big companies embrace practical technology!

Papa John’s now lets you order by text message! Cool!

And Domino’s lets you order via cell phones with internet connections.

I think Papa John’s wins that showdown, but at least they’ve both done something, as opposed to the one that shall remain nameless.

Hmm… and then there are the companies who make things difficult and user unfriendly, like Yahoo! I tried taking direct links to the companies mentioned in order to see if they are promoting their new options on their websites (Papa John’s is, Domino’s is not) , and all Yahoo would do is give me a pop-up box that I actually have to navigate through! And as if that weren’t pain-in-the-ass enough, once I finally click on a link, they don’t accept my decision. I still have to close that pop-up window manually! Come on, Yahoo!

Well, two thumbs up for Papa John’s, anyway. :)
