How To Figure Out How Much Your Sandwich Costs

Noon rolls around and you have to ask yourself – what do I want to have for lunch?

Do I buy that $4.59 sub sandwich at the grocery store?

Do I get the $2.99 Extra Value Meal at the local fast-food restaurant?

What about bringing my lunch to work?  Everyone says that it’s cheaper to bring a sandwich than it is to buy one while you’re out… but the expense and planning of having to get a loaf of bread, some cold cuts and cheeses, a condiment or two… that’s a pretty expensive outing too, isn’t it?

Lawsuit over the World’s Largest PEZ Dispenser

Adult PEZ CostumeThe WORLD’S LARGEST PEZ DISPENSER is getting sued.

Well, not the dispenser itself, but the Burlingham, California people who built the World’s Largest PEZ dispenser and included it as a display in their INTERNATIONAL PEZ MUSEUM.

The company behind PEZ didn’t like the perceived copyright infringement that’s taking place, especially after this unauthorized reproduction received a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the Largest Candy Dispenser.   The reason behind the lawsuit is that it’s not an official PEZ product, so therefore should not be eligible for being recognized as a valid PEZ dispenser in the first place.
