Eeewww: Canned Wine
This decision might explain why French wines are losing to American Varietals- they want to sell them in a can.
From French24 here:
Canned wine has been proven to work in markets like Japan and Germany. A French start-up wants to replicate this success in France, a country where tinned wine is virtually unheard-of, in a bid to “democratise the sale of quality wine”.
Purists will wince. A French start-up hopes to revolutionise wine consumption in France by selling produce from quality-assured vineyards – in tin cans.

Drunken Caped Invader
The people who wrote this letter seem much more understanding about a drunken home invasion than I would be. Drunk dude breaks into home wearing a cape and winds up urinating on the carpet and couch. Some people just call that Thursday.

Japanese Prove Beer Staves Off Infections
Good news for those beer drinkers- an ingredient in hops may stave off bacteria that causes pneumonia and other illnesses according to a study by Sapporo, a beer maker in Japan.
From the DC here:
Consuming large quantities of a key ingredient in beer can protect against winter sniffles and even some serious illnesses in small children, a Japanese brewery said citing a scientific study.
A chemical compound in hops, the plant brewers use to give beer its bitter taste, provides an effective guard against a virus that can cause severe forms of pneumonia and bronchitis in youngsters, Sapporo Breweries said Wednesday.In research with scientists at Sapporo Medical University, the compound — humulone — was found to be effective in curbing the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus.
And I’m no doctor, but the women in this photo look VERY healthy to me.

I Want This Nifty Tie Flask
Hate having to wear a tie everyday at work? Ever feel like you need to sneak a drink? Then this would be the perfect tie for you! Its a flask hidden into a common necktie.
From the DailyMail here:
Baxdo, the company responsible for creating the tie, sells the tie using the slogan, ‘The FlaskTie is a fashion statement of thirst quenching proportions.’
Ray Couch, from AG Distribution Ltd in the UK, who sell the FlaskTie, said: ‘This is the only tie in the world which doubles as a flask, it’s completely unique.‘The FlaskTie adds to the need of an every day object and is also a bit of a giggle at the same time.
‘We think British people are renowned for being big drinkers so adding an alcoholic connotation to something like a tie should go down really well.

Bacon-wrapped Twinkie for the win! But thanks to greedy union members, Twinkies will go away or likely be made in China now.

Armageddon Beer Stronger Than Whiskey
130 Proof. Its 50 bucks per bottle and is freeze-brewed to get the high alcohol content.
From OddityCentral here:
Appropriately named Armageddon, the new beer from Scotland’s Brewmeister Brewery will probably end your days if you drink too much of it. The potent concoction has an alcohol content of 65% by volume. That’s stronger than vodka or whiskey.
Although the Guinness Book of Records has yet to certify Armageddon as the world’s strongest beer, that hasn’t stopped Brewmeister from slapping the unofficial title on the label. And who can blame them, after all, that’s what makes their drink so special. Company co-founder, Lewis Shand says Armageddon “is closer to a liquor than a beer, but it is classified as a beer and we are pleased with it.” He added that “it delivers a supersonic-charged explosion and delivers the drinker to Drunksville”. That’s probably why Brewmeister’s brewers have cautioned that the beer should be sipped and served in small doses.
I’ll take a shot or two of that.

Burning Squid Sperm
In the Western World, squid is prepared by cutting off the beak and turning the critter inside out like a sock, and dumping all its internal organs out. Not so in Korea. A woman there bit into a cooked squid and live sperm cells spurted into her mouth. Bad, yeah, but squid sperm has hooks that shoot out to attach to tissue. The woman was in loads of pain.
From ABCNews here:
A semi-cooked squid inseminated a woman’s mouth, according to a paper published in the Journal of Parasitology. After experiencing “severe pain in her oral cavity” when she bit into her seafood, the woman spit out her meal, but continued to feel a lingering “pricking” sensation.
Doctors found that the 63-year-old woman had “small, white spindle-shaped bug-like organisms” lodged in the mucous membrane of her tongue, cheek and gums.Despite having been boiled, the dead squid’s live spermatophores, or sperm sacks, were alive and penetrated the woman’s mouth. The sacks, which contain ejaculatory devices, forcefully release sperm and a “cement” that attaches the sperm to a wall.
Sexy.

Burger King’s Bacon Sundae?
Two things that Burger King does poorly, combined into one! Crappy soft serve, drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with a limp piece of bacon? Hmm, no thanks.
From the DailyMail here:
Now Burger King have come up with an eye-watering rival product of their own that combines sweet and savoury: the Bacon Sundae.
Stomach-crunching: The new Burger King Bacon Sundae, which will go on sale in stores in Nashville, Tennessee
The new product by the fast food giant boasts vanilla ice cream, slathered in fudge sauce and topped with chunks of cooked rashers of salty bacon.
It is currently being tested in Burger King, Nashville, Tennesse, but its popularity will be measured in a selection of their stores across the city to gauge appetite for the product.
The $2.49 dessert is one of a series of new releases by the chain, including sweet potato fries, Caesar salads and strawberry and banana smoothies.

Hot Dog Pizza Crust? Thanks Pizza Hut!
Not sure why we need this. But pizza hut is known for its Frankensteinian creations.
From the DailyMail here:
Nutritionists have slammed Pizza Hut’s invention as ‘completely unnecessary’, warning that the increased levels of salt and saturated fat will make it more unhealthy than a standard pizza.
The retailer has decided to roll out the stomach-swelling offering in the UK instead of the US market.
British pizza lovers will be able to order the dish for delivery only, for the next six weeks.
Since Pizza Hut became the first company to stuff their crusts, there have been a string of copycat varieties, including those with cheese, BBQ, cheesy bite versions and even the garlic bread stuffed crust.
