Web Watch knows a girl who only eats chicken fingers, cheese, french fries, and ketchup.
Yeah, we know – it’s a little weird. But she’s happy with it.
Asked her once what she would do if the world ever ran out of ketchup… and she wasn’t happy. For her, ketchup makes the world go ’round.
Similarly, we have many friends who wouldn’t dream of eating watermelon without a little salt on it. It’s their thing.

How well do you know your dog?
More importantly, how well does your dog know you?
Have you ever noticed that your dog does really well with sensory clues around them to react to? Web Watch remembers a former pet we had that would sleep in the corner all night long… but the one time that we knowingly get up to go to the refrigerator for a snack, they would wake right up and follow us to the kitchen.
Every. Single. Time.
It’s like they knew something, sensed something about what we were doing – and acted upon it.
Turns out, our observation isn’t that far from the truth discovered by scientists.

A few years ago, Web Watch wrote about how ARTIFICIAL VANILLA CONTAINS COAL TAR.
It ends up that there are many different artificial food products that contain ingredients that we may or may not know about.
Take, for example, the simple cinnamon stick.
Did you know that there really are three different products that are commonly sold as “cinnamon sticks”?
Did you know that only one of them is actually really considered “cinnamon”?
Having food poisoning is not pretty, either for you or those around you.
Web Watch knows – the one time it hit us, we were trying to enjoy a group outing while on a trip away from home. You’d be surprised how quickly getting that ill, that quickly will identify who your real traveling companions are (hint: that number is close to zero during that time period — when it comes to food poisoning, you’re going to be mainly on your own).
So what can you do to avoid getting food poisoning?
Unfortunately, the majority of food poisoning occurs while you’re away from home, eating at restaurants with poor health scores or who happened to receive tainted food themselves.
In other words, when you’re eating out, there’s not much you can do if someone serves you bad food that really, really disagrees with you.

Web Watch agrees that this type of thing can happen to anyone.
Everybody has some odd roommate story that they can share. We went through 6 months of one roommate never doing their own laundry.
What?
Yeah, it’s true. Many years back, we shared an apartment with two guys… and one of them, apparently, didn’t have any socks of his own. He would “borrow” socks from Web Watch (we shudder to think if he was “borrowing” underpants from our other roommate), and then toss the dirtys into the appropriate hamper for the unsuspecting soul to wash on laundry day.
For a while, Web Watch could never understand why we were always running out of clean socks ahead of where we thought we would be in the laundry cycle. Sure, we figured it out – but by then, it was too late. A use pattern had set in.
Luckily, we were able to kick him out – and laundry returned to normal levels.
Web Watch isn’t the best to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be eating, most likely because we would never listen to a thing we say about this (“do as we say, not as we do” doesn’t apply to us, it seems).
But our good friends over at EAT THIS, NOT THAT have come up with a list of the FIVE GROSSEST THINGS YOU’RE EATING that will probably make you think again about the crap that you’re putting into your body every day.

Web Watch learned the hard way how to appreciate wine.
For years, we avoided wine like the plague – preferring vodka, beer, or other alcoholic alternatives to all types of wine. We just didn’t enjoy it as much as we were told we should.
Then one day, we received a $125 bottle of wine as a gift.
That is when our opinion on wine changed dramatically.

When you go out to the club, are all eyes on you?
Are you with the Party Rock Crew, where all drinks are free?
Well, to run a successful nightclub – you can’t make a habit from giving your drinks away to just anybody. Handing them out for free to Web Watch? Sure – that’s to be expected – but not everyone can get away with that like we can.
Still, when you’re making millions upon millions of dollars a year on $500 bottle service, it’s okay to throw out a free drink on occasion. Grease the celebrity wheels, if you will.

A few months back, Web Watch wrote about the TOP 100 RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD.
Now, while you may not be able to travel all around the world to eat at one of the top 100 restaurants, you could always try treating yourself by eating at one of these MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS IN AMERICA.
One thing that these restaurants don’t do that makes them so special? All the things that Web Watch looks for in a quality dining establishment, perfect for date night:

Celebrity Chefs are a unique entity, unlike any other profession.
Where fans can watch a professional sports event (football, golf, tennis), we know that we can never be as good as they are in their particular field of play. We’ll play those sports for fun, with the full realization that we would never be able to do anything even close to what those folks are able to pull off on a regular basis.
But celebrity chefs? They’re just cooking. We can cook, too.
It doesn’t take that much skill to grill a steak to perfection – Web Watch does this all the time, and our steaks come out absolutely fantastic.
Restaurant-quality, if we do say so ourselves.
Granted, we need to pay a little more for some higher-quality ingredients on occasion to really pull off some incredible meals, but that’s a choice that we consciously make. In any case, the average home cook does have the exact same tools available to them as the Celebrity Chef does, so in some ways it really is an even playing field here.
First dates are always rough.
Especially if it’s a blind date.
You’re typically going to meet at a bar (a “safe place” for some), and order a couple of drinks and have a few laughs.
The hope is that you want to hit it off, and maybe Get Some later tonight. But you may have completely ruined your chances before you even opened your mouth.
Why?
Because First Impressions are a key element to having a successful First Date. And there is one thing you can do to ensure that your first impression is a good one.
And that’s to be careful with what you’re seen with as your first drink.

Are a WORDS WITH FRIENDS junkie?
Do you have multiple games going at one time, and fantasize about playing the exact same word on all the boards at the same time?
Do you have all the LEGAL 2-LETTER WORDS memorized, regardless of whether you actually know the definitions of those words or not? Do you know the exact number of letters that are available in the baggie, or know the difference between REGULAR SCRABBLE RULES and TOURNAMENT SCRABBLE RULES?
Yeah, you’re a word game competitor, and you’re always looking for an edge. Something to really carry your gameplay to the next level, because you’re sick and tired of losing out on that Triple Word Score because you couldn’t come up with a more creative way to use that “P” in your rack.
Web Watch has something for you. We can help you win.
All all you have to do is one simple thing…
So what is the ULTIMATE SECRET TO WINNING “WORDS WITH FRIENDS”, Scrabble, or any other popular word game?

Are you a breakfast eater?
Web Watch has always been told that the key to a good day and good health is a good balanced breakfast. After all, our body has just woken up from what is likely 9 hours from the last meal it received, and it needs nourishment to keep going until lunch. Continue reading "Survey: How often do you eat breakfast?"

Eat like a man – don’t be a vegetarian
If you’re like the majority of people today, you’re a meat-eater.
A carnivore. You’ll eat chicken, steak, pork.
You know, all that good, tasty stuff.
A few of you may go fish-only, deciding that being a pescatarian is more your style.
Even fewer may decide that, for various reasons, being a vegetarian is the right lifestyle choice for you. And then there are the vegans, who eschew all animal products (including dairy, eggs, and honey).
We’ll let the vegans be, as they’re not hurting anyone.
But the vegetarians? Those people we’ll chat about today. Read on…
