New KFC Cheese-Topped Chicken Burger Leaves Us More Confused Than Hungry
Sure there is the odd cheese-hater out there, but for the most part we can all agree that a slice of the dairy product is only going to make a burger better.

If you look at a lot of YouTube videos — as we do — you’ve probably noticed that the number 301 appears much more than any other figure in the video’s counter. This is particularly striking in cases where the view count is seemingly stuck at 301 while the like and dislike indicators suggests the video has been viewed many more times than that.
Are Hot Dogs Still an American Favorite? – Survey of the Day
July is National Hot Dog month, which makes sense since patriotic folks barbecue an estimated 150 million franks on July 4th alone. But a recent survey from organic meat producer Applegate suggests that the hot dog’s status as an American staple could be in jeopardy.
