A restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, has encouraged patrons to enhance their food or drink by licking a dining room wall made of Himalayan Rock salt, WLBT-TV reported. The head chef at The Mission restaurant brought in the rocks to improve the overall ambiance and add a unique touch for customers enjoying tequila shots. For those who are squeamish about the germs, the rock salt reportedly has natural sanitary properties, but the restaurant staff also regularly wipe down the walls.

Noise complaints are way down at a restaurant in Singapore after it implemented a "Screaming Children Surcharge" of $10, Yahoo news reported.
Angie's Oyster Bar & Grill said that before the new policy was put in place, they were receiving complaints on a weekly basis about children running around unattended or disturbing other tables. Now, parents are trying harder to control their children and 99% of patrons are respectful and understanding.

Yikes re: the salt wall. I wouldn't be licking it, or going there.
The screaming children surcharge could be controversial. Parents can't necessarily control babies or toddlers. I live in a part of the world where you're more likely to get told off for complaining about a screaming child, than for the parent of the child to get asked to control it. Frankly I don't care about the noise because I've worked with children and I don't even notice it really, but my husband just hates it.

I've never seen that anywhere else.
I watched a program once where they looked at the salt lamps. The benefits are alleged to come from the salt getting warm and releasing ions but when they measured it no significant ions were being released. You can buy very effective ionizers for not that much money that do actually create a lot of ions.
Have any of you tried the following bizarre breakfast cereal?
In an effort to better educate the world about the human reproductive system, the "intimate wellness brand" Intimina has introduced Spirit crunch, a breakfast cereal with uterus-shaped, raspberry flavored pieces that will color the milk red. Alongside the startling cereal shape and red milk, the cereal box will feature a diagram of the female reproductive system so that people can learn about its location and function. The company surveyed 2,000 adults and discovered that 48% of women are embarrassed to talk about the menstrual periods and 77% have never brought it up in their households.
"Periods are a natural part of who we are," said Dr. Shree Datta, a gynecologist with Intimina, so it's deeply concerning to hear that so many people remain uncomfortable discussing them when they are just another part of our health."

wtf?
in the states there is a cereal called honey smacks and they look like little labias, not sure if thats intentional though.
has anyone tried fried green tomatoes or tapioca pudding? The pudding has small gelatinous balls in it, like fish eyes.

Amanda Ramirez of Hialeah, Florida, filed a class-action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz Foods company, seeking $5 million. Her complaint? Velveeta's microwavable shells and cheese instructions indicate the dish is ready in three and a half minutes, but Ramirez says that is "false and misleading" because the product takes longer than the three and a half minutes to prepare for consumption."
The suit goes on to say that the three and a half minutes are merely the time needed for microwaving the product, which is just one of several steps. Kraft Heinz told Fox Business that the suit is "frivolous" and that they will "strongly defend against the allegations in the complaint."

Dominican sailor Edward Francois, 47, was rescued by the Colombian Navy on January 18th after surviving 24 days drifting from the island of St Martin in the Netherlands Antilles, NPR reported. Francois said he was repairing a sailboat when currents swept it out to sea. He scrawled "help" on the boat's hull, then survived on a bottle of ketchup, garlic powder and seasoning cubes, and collected rain water while he waited for a rescue.
He finally caught the attention of a passing airplane by signaling with a mirror.
"I thank the coast guard. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be telling the story," he said.
Anyway, the point is that for 24 days he survived on just a bottle of ketchup, garlic powder and seasoning cubes.

Although this news report is about a painting, but it's still about food.
In Parks, Louisiana, a rendering of The Last Supper in the St. Joseph Catholic Church has all the usual elements --plus one regionally iconic extra: a bottle of McIlhenny's Tabasco hot sauce conveniently placed in front of one of Jesus' disciples.
Pastor Nicholas Dupre said after he arrived in the parish in 2019, he heard from Shane Bernardo, a curator and historian from McIlhenny's, who wondered if the urban myth about the painting was true. When Dupre confirmed the product placement, Bernard sent a large commemorative collector's bottle of Tabasco. The artist told The Daily Advertiser that she was asked not to make the painting an exact replica of the DaVinci original; the priest at that time "wanted to make it unique to our area," she said.
