Skinny Girl is Unnaturally Skinny!

Whole Foods stands by their products and their word that the products they sell are natural!! So much so that this week Real Housewife of New York and Skinny Girl Brand creator Bethenny Frankel's line of SkinnyGirl cocktails have been pulled from Whole Food shelves!

Turns out the Texas based healthy grocer discovered that the "natural flavors" aren't as natural as the company claims.

OH NOs!!! Guess it's back to vodka...=)

Good for Whole Foods for sticking to their quality standards!

TUESDAY JUNE 22, 2010 Stop by any Whataburger for a free breakfast!!

The free Breakfast on a Bun event is part of Whataburger Serves. It's all about building employee team spirit and morale, customer appreciation fun moments with free food and community builders that support groups in need.

Did you know that WHATABURGER is Texas based??

It's soo true!! Whataburger has focused on its fresh, made-to-order burgers and friendly customer service since 1950 when Harmon Dobson opened the first Whataburger as a small roadside burger stand in Corpus Christi , Texas!!

Dobson gave his restaurant a name he hoped to hear customers say every time they took a bite of his made-to-order burgers:  “What a burger!” Within the first week, people lined up around the block for his 25 cent, all-American beef burgers served on five-inch buns. Today, the company is headquartered in San Antonio , Texas , with more than 700 locations in 10 states with sales of more than $1 billion annually.

Now THAT'S a success story DISH can take a bite out of
