Fried Coke won the "most creative" title at the Big Tex and the City in Dallas last month.

Fried Coke's inventor was a computer analyst most of the year, and the son of a restaurant owner, Abel Gonzales Jr.



16,000 cups of the sticky Coke-battered nuggets topped with cola syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry were sold in the first 2 weeks of the fair.

He had been perfecting his Fried Coke recipe for 2 years, after his success of the fried peanut butter, banana, and jelly sandwich. 25,000 of them were eaten last year.

Eww... I felt my arteries clogging and could hardly breathe.

Can I have a cup to try, please?

A Peekaboo pole-dancing kit has been pulled from the "toys and games" section of the Tesco website, after protests from outraged parents.

"This will be sold to four, five and six-year olds. This is a most dangerous toy that will contribute towards destroying children's innocence," Dr Adrian Rogers of the Family First group told The Daily Mail.

Tesco denied the pole-dancing kit was sexually oriented and it was clearly marked for adult use.

"Pole dancing is an increasing exercise craze. This item is for people who want to improve their fitness and have fun at the same time," a spokesman said.



Peekaboo is now only listed in the "fitness accessory" section.

So curious me went on to the website to check out what exactly caused such paranoia.



The Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit costs £44.99

It comes with a chrome plated, extendable dance pole with no drilling involved. The pieces simply slot together.

A spring loaded mechanism in the top section allows you to extend the pole up to a height of 8 foot 6 inches.

Also included is an instructional dance move guide and a sexy dance garter with 100 dance dollars.

Includes:
- 3 piece chrome pole
- Instructional guide with dance moves
- Peekaboo Sexy Garter
- 100 Peekaboo Dance Dollars

And that's not all.



There's also a Peekaboo Lap Dancer, which cost £6.99.

You can learn all the moves in the detailed manual, slip on the sexy Peekaboo garter provided, turn on some music.

Kit Includes:

Peekaboo Dance Move Manual
Peekaboo Dance Garter
One hundred Peekaboo Dance Dollars

As a marketing graduate, one thing I learn was that advertisers will use models of similar age to their target group.

Can you imagine Coke using an 80 year old man as its spokesperson?

As you can see from the ad, there are no kids were involved at all.

And please, would a 6 year old kid shop at Tesco online? Duh.

Well, maybe it would be be a good idea to dance a little to shake off those Fried Coke, eh?



We went to Beverly Hills for a late dinner. All I can say is this place is nothing like Rodeo Drive I went in earlier in March.

We explored around and decided to try the better decorated Yummy Seafood Restaurant.

This is the first time I've seen a restaurant and its menu with not a single English word on them. And yeah, there were no ang in sight mos too. Ordering was quite a challenge for both of us with only PSLE level literacy.



Rewarding a hard day's work.



Eliss having a mouthful of the good stuff.



Cold cut.



Har lok (deep fried prawn) with bee hoon



Battered white bait with salt and pepper.



Baby bok choy.



Scallop porridge.

We were so full after that and could hardly move. It was worth it.
