It’s raining, men: Bachelor parties just aren’t enough any longer. Women get bridal showers and bachelorette parties. Now men are throwing “man showers” to honor the groom.
Talking guys into a shower isn’t as tough as you might think. Just say the magic words: hardware store gift registry. Fill the punch bowl with ice-cold lager. And substitute ESPN for those goofy games.
Hold the burger, not the lettuce: Burger King is trying to appeal to moms with a new healthier kids meal that includes macaroni and cheese, and apple slices shaped like french fries.
But the food isn’t the problem in appealing to kids and moms; it’s that creepy plastic-headed Burger King clown. That goes for you, too, Ronald.
