Stuff we like today:
Fast food reality. Pictures of real fast food products compared with how they’re shown in ads. Ew.
The best-selling beer in the world. Ever knocked back an icy-cold can of Snow beer? No? Believe it or not, this Chinese lager is the best-selling beer in the world, recently knocking Bud off the top spot.
We’re right to judge Susan Boyle’s looks. Scientists reckon humans can’t help judging a book by its cover, so while our snap judgements about Susan “Hairy Angel” Boyle may have revealed how shallow we are (and, in fairness, also how responsive we are to reality TV editing), it’s just how we are.
How Jack Daniels is made. We’re quite obsessed with videos of things being made. Especially in factories. I can’t speak for the rest of the Crikey team, but my personal addiction goes back to that footage they would show through the windows (go arched!) on Playschool of the ’70s Ansell rubber glove factory when I was a kid. Anyway, this is how they make Jack Daniels.
A whole chicken in a can. That’s right:
The verdict?
The white meat was a bit more cottony than the dark meat, but it all tasted like all the flavor had been cooked out. Sort of like the little bits of chicken in condensed chicken noodle soup. I thought before cooking it that I might use the meat in some sort of chicken salad, like you’d use canned chunk chicken breast but this is seriously lacking and I don’t think anyone would eat it.
