This video is a very clever green initiative. It goes to show that you can think outside of the box and do well for our planet and humanity.

There are a lot of fairy books and fairy toys at the stores this year. I understand that Disney has a series of fairy stories and a movie based on Tinkerbelle coming out. I think that is very cool. We could all use a little fairy dust once in a while.

Today I saw a commercial for Chiquita bananas. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a commercial for bananas before! It was such a surprise to see a banana commercial that I don’t even remember what they were saying except that Chiquita bananas are shipped quickly so that we get the freshest bananas. And at the end they were advertising a new Chiquita product, fresh pineapple spears packaged individually for a healthy fresh snack.

There is an ongoing dispute between Poland and Russia as to which country was the first to invent vodka. There is also a competition between them for the best vodka.

My vote goes to Poland for their Sobieski. Do you have a favorite?

At the gas station this morning I saw a display of “new” Pepsi cans. The unusual thing is that the “new” is because it is old. The new flavor is called “throwback” because they are using the old fashioned recipe that used real sugar instead of corn syrup.

So I bought a can to try it out – it is really good!
