Is this racist or is this racist?
Available only at their Harvard Square location, Ben & Jerry's is offering a limited edition flavored inspired by LINsanity.
"Taste The LINsanity," features vanilla frozen yogurt with lychee honey swirls and includes delicious little crumbles of fortune cookie.
I feel like this is racist for two reasons.
1) Besides being Asian, there is no real connection between Lin and fortune cookies
2) Lychees are native to Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia is not where Jeremy Lin is from. He is from Northern California.

After a bit of backlash, Ben & Jerry's is rumored to be replacing the fortune cookies with bits of waffle cone - although they claim its because the fortune cookies were getting too soggy.
Again, this flavor is only available in the Harvard Square location, presumably since Lin attended Harvard University.

Tell a girl like doritos thats nacho cheese
In hopes of boosting sales, Taco Bell is trying on a new slogan for size. Taco Bell now wants you to "Live Mas!"
This departure from the company's most recent slogan "Think Outside The Bun" and the previous slogan of "Yo Quiero Taco Bell," also coincides with a menu revamp.
Taco Bell recently introduced breakfast options (aka "First Meal"), a new Cantina menu (think Chipotle-style) and a national launch of Doritos Locos tacos (instead of just your average tortilla shell, the this taco has a shell made of Nacho Cheese Doritos chips).
Why so blue?
Nicki Minaj it totally smurfed out in the March issue of Vogue promoting her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which is due for release on April 3rd.
“I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup, “ Nicki tells Vogue. “I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.”
She is certainly is every bit a bombshell today - even if she does look like an extra from Beetlejuice in these pics :)

Cry Baby
The owners of Grant Central Pizza, a casual restaurant in Atlanta, Ga recently attracted lots of attention after printing a notice banning crying children from their restaurant at the bottom of their menu.
The notice reads:
Dear all present and future patrons: GCP is proud of its reputation as a family restaurant, a title that we will work to keep. Unfortunately a number of our diners have posted unpleasant experiences because of crying and unsupervised children. To ensure that all diners have an enjoyable lunch or dinner with us we respectfully ask that parents tend to their crying tots outside.
Grant Central owner Donnie Palmer emphasizes that he was forced to enact an official policy on crying after customers complained about noise...but really?
However controversial, this certainly not the first time the topic has come up. In July, McDain's Restaurant of Monroeville, PA gave noisy kids the boot via an email sent to customers.
Owner Mike Vuick wrote, "Beginning July 16, 2011, McDain's Restaurant will no longer admit children under six years of age. We feel that McDain's is not a place for young children. Their volume can't be controlled and many, many times, they have disturbed other customers."
Also former Top Chef contestant Dale Levitsky banned kids from brunch at his restaurant in March.
Interestingly enough, there is no law preventing restaurants from banning children; however, restaurants cannot ban senior citizens because they are in a protected class under the law.
Kids just can't get no respect.
Red White and Blues
The East Room of the White House was transformed into an intimate blues club on Tuesday night for a concert featuring blues all-stars B.B. King, Buddy Guy and BARACK OBAMA?
A (surprise) performance by Obama came at the end of the concert - hosted by Michelle Obama to celebrate Black History Month and American songwriting - as the ensemble was playing "Sweet Home Chicago."
Buddy Guy egged on the president, reminding him that he'd sang part of an Al Green tune recently and Obama seemed compelled to comply. Perhaps since the song is the anthem of his home town...or maybe because he's just can't help but be a rock star.
"Come on, baby don't you want to go," the president sang out, handing off the mic to B.B. King momentarily, and then taking it back to tack on "Sweet Home Chicago" at the end.

Vodka for Breakfast
From whipped cream to marshmallow to birthday cake, vodka companies are thinking outside of the box to sell bottles. And now, you can have vodka for breakfast!
Introducing Three Olives Loopy vodka :)
.
Three Olives themselves describe Loopy as “A dastardly delicious medley of tropical fruit and imported English vodka." I'm betting you can pour this stuff over ice and call it a night!
.
If you aren’t a fan of overly sugary spirits (or Froot Loops) then this one probably isn’t for you. The used PLENTY of sugar, and heavy notes of tropical flavor used to re-create the popular Froot Loop brand...which probably means this stuff is likely to be lethal.
