McDonald’s Big Mac: Two all-beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onion on a sesame seed bun

Web Watch would like to take a moment to salute the marketing geniuses at McDonald’s for continuing the McDONALD’s MONOPOLY PROMOTION.  It combines two great things into a singular quest to find the special missing sticker that will complete your game board.  Boo-ya!

Let’s cut straight to the chase:  there is absolutely nothing for you to do that will affect your ability to win this contest… other than doing everything you can to obtain as many game pieces as possible in the hopes that one of them is a rare chaser piece.

Mariano Martinez.

When you hear his name, you should raise your salt-rimmed glass high in the air and sing his name proudly.

Why?  Because without his ingenuity, we would not be sipping this frozen concoction that helps us hang on.

September 29th is NATIONAL COFFEE DAY. Which professions need the most coffee?


I NEED COFFEE!
I Need Coffee!

In honor of NATIONAL COFFEE DAY on September 29th, Dunkin’ Donuts and CareerBuilder teamed up to identify the PROFESSIONS THAT REQUIRE THE MOST COFFEE.

They asked over 3,600 office workers about their coffee-drinking habits, and found that 32% of office workers require a cup of coffee to get through the workday.  43% said that they are less productive without their morning Joe.  Web Watch figures this is why the majority of offices offer their staff free coffee — it’s a small cost to pay for happy workers.

TODAY WE FOUND OUT is a website that allows you to submit exactly that – things that you just found out about something. 

There are a few rules to what you submit, such as “factually accurate”, “not based on entirely on Wikipedia”, and the common “give credit to your sources” items — but if you truly did learn something interesting today, why not take the opportunity to write about what you now know?

According to Fox News, it’s the worst Laffy Taffy joke ever written


Laffy Taffy
Buy some Laffy Taffy

Web Watch is not beyond sharing a good joke or pun once in a while.  Heck, we enjoy sharing BAD jokes and puns even more.

But we don’t eat Laffy Taffy, so we didn’t know the joy that the jokes written on the inside of the Laffy Taffy wrappers could bring so much joy to so many people of all ages.

That is, until WE STUMBLED UPON WHAT FOX NEWS IS CALLING THE WORST LAFFY TAFFY JOKE EVER WRITTEN.

Because inside every one of us is an eight-year-old kid who like to laugh at fart noices, sometimes just reading a menu or wandering an ethnic grocery store can make you laugh.

Whether it be the PEE COLA or SPOTTED DICK, foods from other countries may taste perfectly fine… but the names of the products will just make you laugh out loud.

Most tailgate party cooks prefer chicken or burgers; Some spend over $1000/year on tailgates

Weber's Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling
Weber’s Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling

Web Watch knows that there’s nothing that tastes better than some meat cooked fresh on the grill.

And when it’s football season, you have to have a grill to really do the tailgate up right.  Web Watch even won a Weber Grill a few years ago in a football tailgating cookoff contest with our grilled steak sandwich with carmelized onions.  One of the judges even came back to our setup and took an extra sandwich with them “for the road” when the competition was over. 

So we have that going for us.

Which brings us back to today’s point – that when it comes to tailgating and grilling, nobody knows their stuff better than the folks over at Weber.

Which is why every year Weber releases their own WEBER TAILGATING STUDY, a look at the tailgating habits that we should expect to see this upcoming football season.
