Heinz has come up with a new “dip and squeeze” ketchup packet that will replace those “tear at the corner” ones we’ve used for decades. I couldn’t care less since I don’t use them, but the best line in the story is:
“To develop the new packet, Heinz staffers sat behind one-way, mirrored glass, watching consumers in 20 fake minivan interiors putting ketchup on fries, burgers, and chicken nuggets.”
Darwin on cats and humble bees.
Years ago I used to post a lot of funny and unusual road signs. This one wins.
Perhaps you have not seen Mad Men. They frequently watch people behind one way glass to study products and ideas. Many of the subjects seem know they are being watched.

Nope, but it's on my list of things to watch on Netflix.

The first season is just okay but after that it is excellent. The treatment of women and just about everyone else is incredible.
