Foghorn Leghorn protects the ladies for KFC

Like most other fast-food outlets, KFC uses partially hydrogenated oil in its foods. This oil contains relatively high levels of trans fat, which increases the risk of heart disease. The Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a court case against KFC, with the aim of making it use other types of oils or make sure customers know about trans fat content immediately before they buy food. Michael Jacobsen, director of the Center describes KFC content of trans fats as: “It recklessly puts its customers at risk of a Kentucky Fried Coronary.”

Foghorn Leghorn is the name of a character appearing in numerous Warner Brothers animated cartoons, especially Looney Tunes. He is a large, anthropomorphic adult rooster with a strong southern accent and a penchant for mischief. He first appeared in 1946 in a Henery Hawk film entitled Walky Talky Hawky.

In September 2004, it was rebranded as “Diet Sprite Zero.” Since then, it has become “Sprite Zero (Sprite Z)” in Argentina, Europe, Peru, Brazil, China, Australia, and New Zealand. “Diet” was dropped from the product’s name, to become simply “Sprite Zero,” when new logos debuted in June 2006. The “Zero” designation for low-calorie sodas from the Coca-Cola Company was first used on Diet Sprite Zero, before being used on the flagship Zero product, Coca-Cola Zero.

Frank’s Red Hot is a hot sauce made from Louisiana Sunlongs, a variety of cayenne pepper.

Its history dates back to 1896 to the Frank Tea and Spice Company founded by Jacob Frank near the banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio. Frank would in 1918 contract for the Estilette Pepper Farm in Louisiana where Adam Estilette and Jacob Frank became business partners. The two men mixed spices, vinegar, garlic and cayenne peppers; they blended them and allowed them to age, and created the original blend of Frank’s Red Hot as it first appeared on the market in 1920.

A nipple piercing is a piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple. It can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or – less often – vertically. Also it’s possible to place multiple piercings on top of eachother. A nipple piercing typically takes 3-6 months to fully heal. Some people have noted that they can take up to a year and a half to fully heal. It’s recommended that if stretching a nipple piercing, the piercee waits at least the healing time of their piercings between stretches.
