“Pass on the Salt”

http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/2011-04-15-subway-slashes-salt.htm

Subway sandwich shops have announced plans to reduce salt in in their “Fresh Fit” subs by 28%, the first national food chain to do so.  Their method is simple: their footlongs are now 8 inches.

Two years ago, Subway led the way towards less salty food by being the first company to get their employees to lick their salty fingers before making a sub.

If customers don’t get behind the low-sodium offerings, Subway is going to wind up producing more sodium than ever – in the form of spokesman Jared Fogel’s big, salty tears.

“No Buns About It”

KFC is advertising their new bunless “Double Down” chicken sandwich on college campuses by hiring young women to wear snug-fitting sweatpants with the product name printed on the rear end. Now thousands of college guys can’t wait to eat them.

The National Organization for Women says this type of advertising sends the wrong message. This may be true, as many men who have seen women wearing these pants now want to have sex with fried chicken.

Some men aren’t that impressed with the chicken advertising on women’s backsides. They are assumed to be breast-men.

So, you have women advertising its product on their buns, and you have feminists who oppose the exploitation of those women’s buns. And it’s the men who are squeezed in between them.

Men who were asked if they were for or against using women’s bodies for ads admit that they would prefer to be against them.
