A burger wrapped in a pizza

3-4-2013

The Canadian pizza chain ‘Boston Pizza’ has launched a new bun-less menu on April first. The Pizza salad, Choco pizza and the Pizza Bread Pudding of the menu were a joke, but the Pizzaburger is apparently, not a joke! The Pizzaburger is not just a burger with a pizza topping, but it is an actual bacon hamburger wrapped in a pepperoni pizza with a hand-pressed crust smothered in pizza sauce and mozzarella. There is also a five-cheese Pizzaburger available

Baby shower for men

3-4-2013

Beer and Bubs is a one-night session for expectant dads to learn how to support their partner through the birth of their baby. The session is held in pubs in Australia. The program is perfect for first time fathers who don’t know what they’re in for and it helps men gain the practical knowledge they need to be involved in the births of their children. During the session the man will meet dads who recently became father and other expectant dads. The Beer and Bubs is run in local pubs in all major cities of Australia. Seems to us a hilarious subject for a good night out for bachelor parties or baby showers for men.

A cup of coffee or an ice cream on hold.. At ice cream parlor Mezzo in Amsterdam it is possible to order a cup of coffee or ice cream and put it on hold for someone who can’t pay it. It does not necessarily have to be a cup of coffee, it may also be a (hot) drink, or in this case an ice cream. A simple way to do something for others, without knowing who it is. This tradition began in Naples (Italy) but starts to spread across the world rapidly. Earlier we saw that consumers could put a cup of coffee on hold for someone at Coffee Company (The Netherlands).
