The Supreme Court in Ireland rules Subway sandwiches too sugary to meet legal definition of ‘bread’

In Case you missed it

From a report at the link below:

Ireland’s highest court isn’t sweet on tax breaks for footlongs.

The country’s Supreme Court ruled that the starch used in Subway sandwiches is too sugary to meet the definition of “bread” — a legal distinction that would have saved the firm some dough.

In deciding whether to give the fast-food chain a tax break for serving a “staple” food item, the five-judge panel ruled that the bread’s sugar-to-flour content is roughly five times too high to qualify, according to the Irish Independent.

For a company to be taxed zero percent, under the Value-Added Tax Act of 1972, the weight of sugar and fat in a bread product must not be more than 2 percent of the total weight of flour in the dough.

No tax breaks for Subway unless they change their dough to save dough in Ireland.

Hmm, lets see now - how long does it take to thaw tater tots in a microwave?

Burger King debuts giant crowns to encourage social distancing

Burger King has launched giant social distancing crowns to make sure customers keep 6 feet apart.

The fast food chain introduced the creative new way to keep customers socially distant as franchises began to reopen dine-in services in Germany.

Restaurants now reopening their doors after weeks of lockdown are looking for ways to ensure customers maintain their distance.

Burger King tweeted an image of two customers digging into a meal outside the store while using special “social distancing” crowns to stay safe.

The photo was captioned: “Distancing, but make it fashion”.

The oversized headgear is meant to extend far enough off the wearer’s head to ensure they are 6 feet from other customers.

Remembering the 1984 Wendy’s “where’s the beef” commercials with Clara Peller

With a meat shortage many Wendy’s restaurants have taken hamburgers off the menu.

Cadbury comes clean on Creme Egg chocolate change

That day in January, 2015 when it was revealed that Cadbury’s Creme Eggs changed, the entire candy world changed.

No longer was the egg shell made from delicious Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. Instead it is made from sub-standard cocoa mix chocolate.

The candy changed but thankfully the Cadbury advertising trucks didn’t.

An MSN report claims Culver’s is one of America's best burger chains

From a report at the link below:

Culver's started as a family-owned restaurant in Wisconsin with made-to-order cheeseburgers, frozen custard, and cheese curds, and it's since expanded to over 700 restaurants across the US.

Not long after a Culver’s opened up here in Loveland, Colorado we went there for lunch. We each ordered a Butterburger and frozen custard.

The Butterburger’s (I can think of a more appropriate name) had a rancid grease taste. The frozen custard was an afterthought. They were rock hard and we didn’t wait for them to thaw enough to eat.

We left and went somewhere else for lunch

The writer of the MSN report said “going into Culver’s felt cozy and peaceful, like stepping into a Midwestern grandma's home.” He should have been with us when we ate at Culver’s. Grandma never made burgers with a rancid taste.

Cheese curds? Puhleeze! Would they have a rancid taste as well?

We wonder how much Culver’s paid the writer to publish that slobbery article?

Crocs, the footwear company and frequent collaborator with unusual artists and brands, has joined forces with KFC.

The two brands teamed up to create the KFC X Crocs Bucket Clog, a limited edition shoe covered in a fried chicken print said to be available this spring.

Shoes that smell may not be that uncommon but smell like fried chicken?
