My favorite was Coke vs. Pepsi logo, but “bulk bins” gave me food for thought. Now I’ll be checking out the sides and bottoms of bins!

These are actually pulled from my favorite tweets that I post throughout the month (so the readers who don’t follow me on Twitter won’t miss out.) So not long at all. Just reformatting and such.

I just spent 45 minutes going through all the links!! The first one about Pepsi and Coke made my laugh. Love all the Top 10′s and the food safety related ones are really helpful. My favorite is actually the uses for olive oil. Awesome collection.
