Some funny camera pranking. But they should have done it the opposite starting off with two guys and ending up with hot girls.

The company that owns the Applebee's restaurant chain said on Monday it was immediately retraining its workers nationwide after a server at a suburban Detroit location accidentally served alcohol to a toddler.

The company, California-based DineEquity Inc, said it would also change the way it serves juice to youngsters to eliminate the chance of any mixups that could result in any more toddlers receiving mixed drinks.
On Friday, Taylor Dill-Reese went to an Applebee's in Madison Heights, Michigan, where -- among other things -- she ordered her 15-month-old son Dominick an apple juice.
What the little boy apparently got instead was a margarita. His mom told WDIV-TV that she only realized something was wrong when Dominick "kind of laid his head on the table and dozed off a little bit and woke up and got real happy."
The little boy reportedly began hailing strangers, too.
Applebee's released a statement on Monday saying it was relieved that Dominick was "not seriously injured as a result of accidentally receiving the wrong beverage" and apologizing to his family "for the stress and worry this caused them."
It said it would begin to serve apple juice to children only from single-serve containers at the table and would "retrain all severs on our beverage pouring policy, emphasizing that non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages must be stored in completely separate and identified containers."
And in other news after the kid got drunk he got laid too.

The Aston Martin DBS receives a Superior Black Edition makeover from the folks at Anderson Germany. On the exterior, the car sees a matte black paint job, bright red brake calipers and a set of 21″ rims. The interior matches the outside with carbon fibre elements, black leather and red trim – a bit much to be honest. The guts were treated to an exhaust system upgrade, bumping the HP from 510 to 560 at 6500 rpm.
Very cool.

WHAT'S IN TACO BELL 'S MEAT

USA Today and others are reporting of a lawsuit against Taco Bell for the meat in their Tacos. The suit claims that the taco meat at Taco Bell is only 36% beef, which is less than the USDA minimum of 40% for taco meat filling. The suit seeks to have Taco Bell either rename their products or add more beef. Besides the fact that Taco Bell could be below the 40% standard, there is also the aspect that most people are not aware of the USDA labeling definitions for meat filling being only 40% meat. People are also unaware that Taco Bells labels their Taco meat as beef filling. Although I think most people know that fast food is not good quality food. However, Taco Bell is going below already low standards to qualify for the "Where's the beef ?" lawsuit.
This is why I don't eat Taco Bell. If I want to go somewhere and not know what I'm eating I will just go to the local Chinese restaurant.

IF YOU LIKE MRS WINNERS GOOD LUCK FINDING ONE

Massive closings of Mrs. Winners were reported in October, 2010. The company posted this statement on its website on October 19, 2010:

"To our valued customers: We have been forced to close a number of our Mrs. Winner’s company-operated restaurants which have long been operating unprofitably. The surviving core of 16 company restaurants, along with our 15 franchised restaurants, combine to provide us with a profitable base from which to retrench and to retool the Mrs. Winner’s brand. After years of battling so many problem locations, we can now finally focus on opportunities and not just problems. And we will do so with a renewed focus on restoring and rebuilding Mrs. Winner’s. We have an action plan that includes new and exciting products in addition to the proud staples of our past. Please know that Mrs. Winner’s is not going away. Instead, know that better days are ahead. We may be a smaller brand, today than yesterday; however, that will allow us to be much more nimble and proactive in introducing the new products, new design and, other initiatives in the pipeline.
Now I couldn't find the statement on the official Mrs Winners website and calls were not returned. So I guess I will have to get my super cinnamon swirl somewhere else.
