Balance of Food

True you shouldn't get everything about food from TV, but with free baseball and hockey previews combined with an HBO channels preview, there were many more opportunities. -- From Bill Maher's program, talking about McDonald's new Angus Third-pounders "Don't worry about your kids getting fatter. It won't work; they're American kids. They don't know a 1/3 is bigger than a 1/4." We are talking a difference of 1.3 ounces, but it's funny because people probably don't realize a 1/3 is bigger than a 1/4. -- Tim Horton's is a popular donut shoppe in Canada. The donut shoppe in "Wayne's World" was inspired by Tim Horton's. The chain has a new donut, the Triple Chocolate Donut: chocolate filled, chocolate frosted, and drizzled chocolate on top. Alas, the Web site notes that The Triple Chocolate Donut (See above) is currently only available in Canada. But if you're near Detroit, there are tons of locations in Windsor. Canadians and donuts -- a lovely combination. I know the third chocolate is right next to the second chocolate, but I figure if the donut itself was chocolate, then you could have a quadruple chocolate donut. Imagine a chocolate donut filled with chocolate topped with chocolate frosting and drizzled with more chocolate. I'm planning a road trip to Windsor. If I get there, I will try one for you. The things I do for my readers.
