Dog Food : Ice Cream :: MSN Search : Bing

Microsoft is sick of the term dog food. Why? Because it's the term used to signify software a company tests on its employees before it's ready for release. Eating your own dog food, essentially. So they made a euphemism. More »

Stealthy Colgate Ad Ruins Ice Cream Forever

In Bangkok, Colgate advertised oral health by passing out something a bit more cruelly creative than mere toothpaste samples. Instead, advertisers loaded sweets like lollipops and cotton candy with wooden toothbrushes. Low, Colgate. Low. [IBelieveInAdvertising via InspireMeNow]

Flower Pot Ice Cream is my Personal Chocolate-y, Worm-Filled Fantasy

The Ice Lounge: Custom Seating to Enhance Ice Cream Eating

I like ice cream as much as the next guy, but all I need to enjoy it is a spoon or a cone and a nice hot day.
