The pleasure centers of the brain responded more strongly to pricey wines than cheap ones — even when tasters were given the same vintage in disguise in a recent California Institute of Technology study.
Next up? A more complex study involving differently priced, different vintages of prostitutes.
Battered in recent years by the mad cow scare, animal-rights activists, and health concerns about red meat, Ontario's beef producers need to build a "brand" around their beef
as a top-quality, locally-made product.
For those who haven’t been following our Canadian news, these days Ontario’s other top-quality, locally-made product is crystal meth.
Key for the campaign: new mud-slinging slogans for other meats:
“chicken – they keep them in cages smaller than veal”
“pork – the other, weird white meat”
It’s not surprising that the brand is hurting, after last year’s risky, ultimately unsuccessful slogan: “Beef – it’s what’s for your last meal.”
Business journalist Michael Vaughan told delegates that consumers can be convinced beef is a healthy and convenient staple of meals.
In the same way they can be convinced that Twinkies are food, SUVs are safe and practical family vehicles, and polar bears aren’t drowning and love Coca-cola.
Canadian criminals are dumping MDMA into the United States. RCMP Supt. Ron Allen noted that "it's not something to wear with pride" that Canada is a source for the deadly drug.
You are entirely right. This is a highly destructive, unnatural substance and not to be proud of. Our British Columbia hydroponic, on the other hand, should be on our five dollar bill.
"Obviously we are not recommending people check their MDMA for meth," Allen said. "The only answer is don't do either one."
Stunningly, drug users across North America have arrived at a whole bunch of other answers.
U.S. drug czar John Walters called the deadly mixture "extreme Ecstasy".
In a related development, all the kids are clamoring to try this new "Extreme Ecstasy" they've heard about.
