Mark your calendar for Sugar-Free Slurpees.

I had to add one more post tonight before shlepping off to bed because I just read some breaking news on Foodbeast. Beginning in June, 7-Eleven will introduce SLURPEE LITE, sugar-free Slurpees sweetened with Splenda for frustrated diabetic junk food screwballs like moi. Mark your calendar! June’s sugar-free flavors will be Mango and Watermelon-Lime followed by Strawberry-Banana and Lemon Creme in July and Cherry Limeade and Orange Xplosion in August. Holy crap, I’m ready to stand in line for mine TODAY because I’m having an advance brain hemorrhage for the Mango and Lemon Creme.
From our World’s Stupidest Restaurants department, please take a minute from your busy schedule to check out the following photos. The first is “Dinner in the Sky,” featuring a table for 22 that’s suspended by crane 50 meters above the street in Brussels. Let’s hope nobody has to pee. The second is “Un Cafe con Perón” (“A Coffee with Perón”) in Buenos Aires, where you can dine with a wax statue of the former dictator who actually died in 1974. Posing with Señor Faux Perón is Lorenzo Pepe, director of the Juan Perón Institute. They’re both pretty damn scary and it’s hard to tell which one’s the statue.
Don’t forget to send an email if you’re interested in that great 20% discount deal from Schwan’s (see my earlier post). Thank you for reading this.
