How To Wednesdays: Work At Wendy's

If you're about to start a job in the food service industry then you should make sure to watch these incredibly helpful training videos. If you are simply a fan of catchy jingles that really tell a story you should also make sure to check them out. If you just so happen to be starting a job at Wendy's and love awesomely bad songs with instructional lyrics then congratulations, we've got some internet nirvana below.

If knowing how to serve chili and hot drinks left you wanting more there is a fourth video on youtube, but it focuses more on jingle than instruction which apparently is where Wendy's hides the awesome. Who knew?  [via tdw]

How To Wednesdays: Eat A Flat Chicken Wing

I really wanted to title this Eat A Flat Chicken Wing and Not Drive This Guy Insane, but it would have taken up two lines and made things look a little funny.  Truth be told I literally had no idea about this process, and I will clearly be putting it to the test the next time I am faced with a pile of chicken wings.  I just hope the guy that made the video isn't there in case I do it the wrong way.  via

Awesome Graph: Distance To The Nearest McDonalds

Here is a visualization of the distance to the nearest McDonalds across the contigous US.  (You can click on the image above to enlarge it if you are on the site and not in a news reader or anything)  From the site Weather Sealed, who put together this doozy:

As expected, McDonald’s cluster at the population centers and hug the highway grid.  East of the Mississippi, there’s wall-to-wall coverage, except for a handful of meager gaps centered on the Adirondacks, inland Maine, the Everglades, and outlying West Virginia.

For maximum McSparseness, we look westward, towards the deepest, darkest holes in our map: the barren deserts of central Nevada, the arid hills of southeastern Oregon, the rugged wilderness of Idaho’s Salmon River Mountains, and the conspicuous well of blackness on the high plains of northwestern South Dakota.  There, in a patch of rolling grassland, loosely hemmed in by Bismarck, Dickinson, Pierre, and the greater Rapid City-Spearfish-Sturgis metropolitan area, we find our answer.

Between the tiny Dakotan hamlets of Meadow and Glad Valley lies the McFarthest Spot: 107 miles distant from the nearest McDonald’s, as the crow flies, and 145 miles by car!

I am pretty sure McDonald's executives are already rectifying this clear lapse in their taking over the world business plan. 

Awesome Stuff: Canned Bacon

I have always had a hard time preparing for disaster because I am a really picky eater. I'm not saying I am above canned foods, although most people would say I am, I just hate the razor sharp lids because one time I almost sliced off my finger with one. That being said I feel that I could now adequately prepare for a disaster thanks to Tactical Bacon, which comes in a can and lasts up to 10 years. 10 years if you are a vegetarian only, otherwise that shit doesn't last an hour. The site claims 18 servings a can, with a serving equal to three slices of the glorious canned bacon.

Why Americans Are Better Than Everyone Else, Exhibit A

America rules for many reasons. But let's prove it one by one, starting today. Here is a competition. The task? Make drinking easier. We have two ways to go about this, the Asian version you see here in the form of the Asahi robot, or the refrigerator beer launcher. Now I am not a Dr or anything, but that is the lamest robot I have ever seen. I can't believe how many things you have to do manually to make it pour your beer, not to mention it takes like 4 minutes to pour. Below we have an example of the American way.

America 1, Asia 0
