Remember McDonalds Irish Artisan Burger which featured Bacon, Cabbage, and Potato? The one released yesterday? Well It’s no longer Artisan. The new burger called The McMór might have seemed like a parody of Irishness but McDonalds were very serious about it. They printed tons of material explaining how it represented Ireland and, most importantly, how…

If you grew up during the 70’s you can probably still sing the whole of the Safe Cross Code; 1 look for a safe place, 2 don’t hurry stop and wait… During the 1970’s when Rte was the only channel throughout most of the country all children hear the Safe Cross Code. Using these six…
Irish are the third highest consumers of chocolate in the world. Surprising but true. Only two nationalities eat more. We each eat 7.4kg or 16.3lbs each year. That’s a lot of chocolate but only 82% of what the Swiss eat. Then again the Toblerones are probably cheaper there. The Germans are the 2nd biggest consumers….

We like to complain that it’s always raining in Ireland. Now thanks to an Italian Astronaut we have proof of how bad things really are! Look at that picture again. It was taken in June!! Now consider just how many other countries in the world have clouds that hug their borders? Not many I bet….
Austerity has been hard. But if we only knew what our mud is worth we could have paid off Anglo and still partied. QVC is selling Irish mud for $59 per 5oz jar. This is a huge bargain as it normally retails at $129 for the same amount. The mud was dug up by Peter…
