3 for $3.33 (Der Wienerschnitzel Restaurants- 2005):

1. Original Chili Cheese Dog
2. Chili Cheeseburger
3. Chili Cheese Fries

Note: Awhile back I had sent copies of the "Threes Poster" to the Der Wienerschnitzel Corporate offices as part of a reply concerning an unrelated complaint about the reduction in chili given on hot dogs that has taken place over several decades. The 3 items for $3.33 came some time after my letter was sent. (I had received a complimentary gift certificate in response to the complaint.)

Note: At this writing, Der Wienerschnitzel recently (Oct./Nov. 2005) came out with a 2 for $2.22 offering. (you can view this as a three 2's, or as a three to one grouping of twos... unless you prefer something else.)

This morning 2/4/2008, as I was taking a walk just after 3:30 AM, I noticed a poster in the window of a nearby Der Wienerschnitzel: 4 for 5 (with six items shown)... in other words, 4-5-6.

Shick came out with a four-bladed (Quattro^TM) razor in September of 2003 and was quickly sued by Gillette which said that Shick (Energizer) violated their patent for "progressive blade geometry" technology used in Gillette’s three-bladed Mach 3. Gillette asserts that the Quattro uses the same technique to stack the blades in the cartridge as Gillette’s top-selling Mach 3 three-bladed razor. In commercials aired in December of 2003, there is a representation of a 3 + 1 distinction along with two anti-nick strips instead of the usual single strip being used on 3-bladed razors.

Look at the 3-symbol (repeat) on a Monster brand energy drink can.

Note: While the repetition of "3" can clearly be seen in the Monster Energy drink example, the repetition of other products can not be easily seen unless you appreciate the repetition with respect to the placement of multiple items in a single location such as a box of gum displaying several packages on a shelf.

Activated carbon is the most effective odor-eliminating substance known to man. The American College Dictionary uses charcoal in their definition of the word adsorb: to gather on a surface in a condensed layer, as when charcoal adsorbs gases (suck in)”. Militaries around the world use carbon in chemical warfare suits to protect soldiers. While these military suits are designed very different from a Scent-Lok hunting suit, their basic applications are the same. Carbon is also used in multitudes of filtration systems for filtering not only air but liquids as well. It should also be noted that Scent-Lok branded clothing use 100% coconut carbon, which is more porous and therefore more adsorbtive than charcoal.




The bonding process in the Scent-Lok products: The odor adsorbing linings are designed so that the human odors, gases, and moisture pass through the fabrics, make contact with the activated carbon, and are then expelled as "filtered" air. Once through the suit the air no longer contains human odor. The scientific name for this molecular attraction to carbon is called the Van der Waal’s bond.




How much carbon is enough? A very thin layer of activated carbon is all that is needed to adsorb the odors released on several hunts. Too much carbon is overkill and cuts down on the permeability and overall comfort of the garment. The ideal scenario is to have enough carbon for the suit to function as designed, but not so much that the suit is uncomfortable to wear during warm weather due to lack of airflow through the suit.




Scent-Lok Technologies spends a lot of time and money on research and development to assure that their odor adsorbing technology, along with comfort in the field, is the best in the industry.

ABC's about whole grain (found on the back of an Albertson's bite size frosted shreaded wheat cereal box):



1. -

   Just what does "whole grain" mean? It means the whole grain, including all of its good parts.
   
   What are the good parts? The bran layer which is fiber-rich, the germ and the endosperm. These parts contain nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and complex carbohydrates.

2. -

   Why is whole grain important? Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may help reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.

3. -

   How can I take advantage of the benefits of Whole Grain products? There are many ways to obtain the benefits of whole grains. We suggest that in addition to eating whole grain cereal for breakfast or a snack, use great tasting whole grain cereal as an ingredient in your recipes. USDA's (United States Department of Agriculture) "The Food Guide Pyramid" recommends 6-11 servings per day of "breads, cereals, rice and pasta- all foods from grains." As part of your 6-11 servings per day, the USDA suggests "several servings a day of foods made from whole grains, such as whole wheat bread and whole grain cereals."




Note: Notice in "A" that it states the whole grain AND all of its good parts. This suggests that some bad parts are also included.

Sears department stores 2005 television advertisement phrase: Cooler Every Day It shows a woman's fashion change through the seasons (from summer to winter). The "coolness" associated with a drop in temperature as the season's change is used as a metaphor to describe a cultural word usage of "cool" that is defined simply as being desirable.

3 entertainers of 2003 MTV awards have been referred to separate "philosophical" categories of viewers due to various self-promotion (advertising) antics:



1. The 3 dodo birds.
2. The 3 monkeys/chimps.
3. The 3 DLC's (desperately lost creatures).



(Note: I used the more euphemistic kinds of labels in describing them.)



1. Britney Spears (aka, Bimbo Spears) ~ A recent example cited by many is her unthinking impulsive act of marrying an old friend (Jason Allen Alexander) in a Las Vegas Chapel on 01-03-04 and then having the marriage annulled a few days later. In a television interview, he gave the impression of having the common sense and IQ of a prepubescent youth having snuck out of his parents house to get drunk with friends.
2. Madonna (aka, MaDUH!na) ~
3. Christina Aguilera (aka, Cookoo Aquilera) ~

3 wedding Dramas of Britney Spears in 2004:



1. January- she married friend Jason Alexander in Las Vegas. That marriage - described as a "joke" - was annulled 55 hours later.
2. September- She and Kevin Federline were reported to have faked their wedding on the 18th, (seen by some observers as a means to thwart media coverage that had been advertising the wedding for October 16.) She said they were married in a "spiritual" sense.
3. September- She and Federline agreed on a pre-nuptial agreement and signed a marriage license but filed the marriage license and signed the pre-nuptial the following week (after the 18th).
