Fast Food Gets a Little Kid-Friendlier...

Friday July 11, 2008
Okay, so I have to ignore how creeped-out I get about the Burger King mascot guy in the commercial I just saw long enough to be happy about what they're now offering... "apple fries"! Don't worry, they're not fried apples, which is what I feared at first, but simply apples sliced to look like fries as a side option in kids meals.

Maybe it's one small step toward childhood obesity prevention, but every little step is a good thing, if you ask me. Way to go, creepy plastic-faced-king dude!
