MI6 and the Attack of the Cupcake

Britain’s MI6 weapon of choice: a cupcake recipe of the Most Banal kind.

In a move that’s reminiscent of Bond-James-Bond’s whimsy side, The Telegraph reported that Her Majesty’s intelligence peeps hacked a 67-page colored newsletter written by al-Qaeda and replaced it with a coded message.

Instead of the original content, which included bomb-making and jihad concepts for newbies, the decoded message cheerfully gave cupcake recipes from a web page of “The Best Cupcakes in America” published by the Ellen DeGeneres chat show.

 

Mars Cuts Down 15% Fat

Take note, that’s SATURATED fat.  Apparently the trend of dieting has reached the chocolate industry.  Mars the company swears that they’ll taste the same as the old Mars chocolate bar.  What I’m curious about though, is if it makes the new bars more “wholesome” to eat than the old one.  If it does then that’s really a great improvement!

Oh, and did you know that the Mars brand also produces three Pet food products: Pedigree, Whiskas and Royal Canin? That surprised me, since I’ve used all three (I wonder why Royal Canin doesn’t give allergy to my dog but Pedigree does then?).
