McAfrica From McDonald’s
The problem with this product was not in the poor flavor, it was in the poor taste timing of the advertising campaign. This is not the first time McDonald’s made this mistake – in 2002 they released the McAfrika in Norway which contained beef and vegetables in pita bread. The backlash was severe so McDonald’s put donation boxes for famine relief in all stores selling the product.

Welch’s Glass Jelly Jars
In the 1960s, Welch’s was a major sponsor of the ABC primetime animated comedy series The Flintstones; its characters were prominently featured in Welch’s TV commercials on that show, and on jars of Welch’s grape jelly. In the early 1970s, The Archies cartoon characters were on the jars. That then snowballed into Tom & Jerry, The Muppets, McDonald’s characters, etc.

Thong Song
“Thong Song” is a 2000 song recorded by Sisqó of Dru Hill for the Def Soul imprint of Def Jam. The song was issued as the second single from Sisqó’s Unleash the Dragon LP in February 2000, and was its second biggest hit.
A remixed version featuring Foxy Brown of “Thong Song” was made exclusively for the 2000 film Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.
The record celebrates, in a playful way, women who wear thong underwear and bikinis.
It was covered recently by the cast of Glee, for the TV series Glee. Sisqó performed it on Celebrity Big Brother and afterward it re-entered the chart at number 97. The song was also recently remixed by electronic music producer Elephantitan.
