Pepsi’s Slim Can Is Nothing New

Pepsi recently released the new ‘skinny can’ to package their zero-calorie diet version, and in doing so has created a media shitstorm. Although the concept of a slimmer can seems innocent enough, it is far from new, and Pepsi’s timing and marketing might have stepped on a few well-painted toes.

This Valentine’s Day, Say It With Bacon

Valentine’s Bacon by 4four

Valentine’s Day draws nigh. And, if you’re the type of person who has a hard time expressing yourself the other 364 days of the year, then February 14 provides the perfect opportunity to at least do it half-assedly.

One thing that cannot be denied, is that there’s no better way to appease your partner with minimal effort, than with a folded piece of card stock containing a message written by a stranger.

However, this year doesn’t have to involve an ordinary card or generic message. With help from Foodiggity and a few crafty Etsy users, make up for a year’s worth of emotional vacancy, and show your partner that you appreciate them in the greatest way possible — by comparing them to bacon. You’re welcome.

 

You Are Greater Than Bacon Card

This card by Etsy user cottonflowerpress gets right to the point. Tell your lover that they’re greater than the almighty meat candy — unless they view this as an emoticon, in which case they’ll just be confused.

 

I Love You More Than Bacon Card

Bacon love runs deep, and this card by bjoytomac establishes that the love for your human partner is even more so. Who’s the big winner this Valentine’s Day? Anyone who can present this card with a straight face.

 

Bacon and Eggs Card

The good old ‘we go together like…’ approach — it never fails. This card, by dancingant, plays matchmaker with the greatest of dynamic duos. Although, as we all know, bacon goes with everything. So you might have to try a bit harder.

 

You Know I Love Bacon Card

The suspense is killing me… What will the answer be? Well if you actually present this card by PaperPlatesPress, then the real answer is probably either ‘beer,’ or ‘more bacon.’ But because it’s Valentine’s Day, you get a free pass to lie.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody.

5 Popular New Year’s Resolutions and Why They Will Fail

Monina Velarde's Resolution Generator

With the New Year comes a fresh set of 365 days and empty promises. Some people will strive to make the new year the best ever, and it all starts with making their New Year’s resolutions. Unfortunately, once the resolution-maker realizes that a new year means nothing more than having to buy a new calendar, most will revert back to last year’s undesirable form and behavior by Valentine’s Day.

We explore a few popular resolutions that are consistently heard every year — usually from the same people — and provide some insight on why they end up a steaming pile of failure.
