Photo courtesy of Design Packaging, via FlickrGift cards are more than just easy stocking stuffers and
somewhat-unimaginative birthday presents. They're also a cash cow for
retailers. With this incentive, more companies are offering bonuses for
buying their gift cards instead of their competitors'.
Unfortunately,
this tactic can backfire.

I shop online all day long with Savings.com, and occasionally I actually leave the house to buy things locally. But from Thanksgiving till Christmas I try to avoid the crowds at the stores as much as possible. And let's face it, there are plenty of people in this modern world who are not really friends or family members but who you feel compelled to get gifts for.

Last week, Savings.com blogger Allegra clued us into KFC's misguided
attempt to do something nice: selling huge
sodas for a diabetes charity.
Needless to say, their move did not not create the desired reaction, and laughs were had by (nearly) all.
Well, it's another week, and the trend continues as various purveyors of
junk foods run afoul of the media. Read on to discover my personal
favorites.

class action lawsuit against Nutella alleging false advertising. Athena Hohenberg calls Nutella's ads "misleading," because they insinuate that the product is "healthy," when in fact it's chock full of sugar and fat.

With the recent
Taco Bell lawsuit alleging that the fast food restaurant doesn't use all beef in their tacos, burritos and other food items, many people are questioning what other fast foods aren't really food. The class action lawsuit claims Taco Bell users binders and fillers in their products. Well, duh. Did you really think that they would just use beef? How can they afford to when a taco costs a mere
$0.99? Plus, it's expected that beef would include seasonings and other spices. Hello, where do you think the flavor comes from? Beef itself doesn't taste seasoned.
Basically, you get what you pay for. This brought me to other fast foods and what we are REALLY eating. Is the cheap price of fast food worth your health?

By rhino 9 months ago The best deal you can get from Taco Bell is contingent upon getting old. When I was a young buck, I'd order 5-6 items to feed that crazy metabolism. Now that I'm old, I can only fit 3 items in my stomach, and that has saved me a lot.
