Truth in Advertising
This might be the most honest advertisement I've ever seen! Although it is also a bit astounding: are those calorie counts
per donut? And really, is that supposed to be an inducement to buy, or a warning to run three laps around the block first?!
Dunkin' Donuts, I think you might have missed the mark with this one. But for those looking for to channel their creative energies into the magical field of donut-making, definitely check-out their latest promotion: the
Create Dunkin's Next Donut contest. Hey, you could win $12 grand!

I can admit this because, ridiculous though it is, it works: a few weeks ago, we bought the
Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar.
It was late at night, we were tired and watching TV. There was an ad. We egged each other on, and the next thing we knew, we'd ordered it. After hanging up the phone, we wondered whether we'd just spent a bunch of money ($49.99 when all was said and done) on something that wouldn't work.
Imagine my surprise, then, to discover: it really does work! And it's basically small enough that even in an NYC apartment, we have room to stash it.
For anyone interested, though, it's
now available via Amazon, which might be an easier place to order from, since the phone ordering process forces you to say NO to all sorts of other options (like monthly services) you probably won't want.
(Oh, and I'm up to five consecutive pull-ups now. How 'bout you?)
