Why is the Green M&M the Horny One?

Lucia Reich - categorie articol: For my friends abroad

 Mars Company has been producing M&M Chocolate Candies since 1941. Various rumors have since been attached to different colors of the candy: the green ones are an aphrodisiac; if the last candy out of a bag is red, make a wish and it will come true; if the last candy out of a bag is yellow, you should call in sick and stay home; orange M&Ms are good luck, but brown ones are bad luck. M&M/MARS notes that consumers, not the company, developed all these rumors. Continuare…

De ce este verde M&M-ul “afrodisiac”

Lucia Reich - categorie articol: Curiozitati

Compania Mars produce bomboane de ciocolata M&M din 1941. Zvonuri diverse au fost asociate diferitelor culori ale bomboanelor: cele verzi ar fi afrodisiace; daca ultima bomboana din punga este rosie, pune-ti o dorinta si ti se va indeplini; daca este una galbena, da telefon la birou, anunta ca nu te simti bine si stai acasa; cele portocalii aduc noroc, iar cele maron, ghinion. M&M/MARS spune ca aceste povesti sunt opera consumatorilor, iar compania nu are nici o legatura cu ele. Continuare…

Beware of the other WOMAN

Lucia Reich - categorie articol: For my friends abroad

 I ended up with an older woman at a club last night. She looked OK for a 61 year-old. In fact, she wasn’t too bad at all, and I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter.

We drank a bit, and had a bit of a snuggle, and then she asked if I’d ever had a Sportsman’s Double. “What’s that?” I asked.
“It’s a mother & daughter threesome,” she said.
I said “No” excitedly. We drank a bit more, then she says that tonight was “my lucky night”.
I went back to her place. She put on the hall light and shouted upstairs:
“Mum, you still awake?”

De ce sunt republicanii rosii si democratii albastri?

Lucia Reich - categorie articol: Curiozitati

 Anterior alegerilor prezidentiale din 2000, schema culorilor nu era universal recunoscuta ca reprezentand partidele politice din SUA. Schema culorilor de baza a devenit raspandita odata cu aparitia televiziunii color in anii ’60 si aproape omniprezentelor ziare cu reclamele lor. O schema de trei color – rosu, alb si albastru, culorile drapelului American – facea sens, iar a treia culoare, albul, folositoare pentru ca putea arata statele indecise in sondaje. Inca demult, cea mai comuna – desi din nou, neuniversala – schema culorilor propunea sa foloseasca rosu pentru democrati si albastru pentru republicani. Continuare…

Why are Republicans Red and Democrats Blue?

Lucia Reich - categorie articol: For my friends abroad

 Prior to the 2000 presidential election, there was no universally recognized color scheme to represent political parties in the US. Color-based schemes became widespread with the adoption of color television in the 1960s and nearly ubiquitous with the advent of color in newspapers. A three color scheme — red, white and blue, the colors of the U.S. flag — makes sense, and the third color, white, is useful in depicting maps showing states that are “undecided” in the polls and in election-night television coverage.
