The Ice cream vendors are my pick.
Urrr bacon scented shaving cream!!! no me.
Bacon and eggs (and more) this morning! That tiny egg is very precious. I'd treasure it as well. As far as toiletries go, I have a hard time believing that bacon-scented shaving cream would smell as nice as Old Spice.
Glad to see your virtual Advent calendar return!
First, I love your Advent calendar! It's cute and fun.
Second, the milking has made our news, as well. Pretty crazy...
The ice cream battle is pretty funny. I think (sadly) there is a reality show there.
Happy Monday.
:-)

Milk? Expensive prank...

That tiny little egg is so cute! It almost looks like a rogue songbird egg that somehow found its way into the nest.
I guess 'milking' is suppose to be the next planking. I won't be showing my boys this. Crazy people.
Fun articles as usual. I think bacon-scented shaving cream sounds pretty gross.
Hi Tracy,
I don't which of us is more shame faced about the folks who live on our own doorstep and who feature in your news round-up this week.
Is it more cringeworthy to be pouring milk over yourself in Newcastle, or comparing the size of your turnips in Somerset?!
Have a great week,
Yvonne
Did you really have to mention about the foot long snickers Tracey? Now I have to add it to my Christmas list!
footlong chocolate bar? before you finish eating it all, sure nextis a sorethroat. lo
Bacon scented shaving cream? I hope no one eats it! Fascinating news- as always! I love Snickers- but that does seem like a lot. :)
Wait, what? Drench themselves in milk? *-* The deep fried dinner sounds nauseating though I can see it for those on the run I suppose....*blech*. OMG on the ice cream wars....and the super-sized snackage? NOt a surprise actually. Our bk store (yes, bk store) sells the "world's largest gummy...." bear, worm, snake....yeah. Can't say the 5lb critters on anywhere on my wish list though.
When I was a kid, there was a foot-long chocolate bar called a Marathon bar (caramel in chocolate -- woven in braids) and there was a ruler on the back. I loved it!! I wish they still made it. I always look for it but it has never been found again.
Don't understand why anyone would douse themselves in milk, as that's just nasty. But have to admit that the giant chocolate bar sounds good!
