No more small sodas or Junior Chickens. Just healthy foods. McDonald’s has already been adding healthy choices to their menu for a few …Read More

The fine folks over at RobotNine have posted up an nifty collection of photos of strange McDonald’s locations from around the world. The real highlight? This McDonald’s in Piteå, Sweden opened the world’s first (and to the best of my knowledge, only) snowmobile-specific drive thru. While you might not think there’d be much call for …Read More

Do you even bother trying to get out of the car at this point? This is why you also keep a book in the car. This could take awhile. So are you ready to start captioning, or are you feeling “sheepish”? 😛

On March 31st, Ontario raised their minimum wage from $8.75 to $9.50. On April 1st, Ontario McDonald’s raised the price on all of their sandwiches by 20 cents.

This picture couldn’t be any more apt to describe the mood I’m in. Over the long winter we’d accquired some patio furniture and other outdoor furnishings that have turned our backyard from “that place behind the house” to somewhere I’d actually want to spend some time this summer. I was just thinking about how nice …Read More

If this article looks familiar, it’s because it was originally posted on the SmartCanucks Tech Deals blog. If it doesn’t, why aren’t you reading our geeky sister site? 😛 Not too sure of the last time you’ve looked at a payphone (if you’re like most of us, the year likely started with a “19”), but …Read More

The McDonald’s near my house closed at the end of March. Whether it’s a sign of the economic times or just a final response to the endless complaints about rude service and filthy conditions isn’t for me to say. All I know is that this location has weaved a thread throughout my life; When I …Read More

I don’t know what a Corbin Bleu is. Wikipedia tells me he’s one of the stars of High School Musical, and I have no reason to doubt it. Based on that, I’ll assume that any of you reading this with a girl in her tweens at home could probably become the hero parent of the …Read More
