Lobster Tail Bouquets Are Back For Valentine’s Day
The Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative is bringing back their infamous Lobster Tail Bouquets for Valentine’s Day. The “bouquets” are actually kits that come from three different Maine companies. The kits include lobster tails, skewers, burlap wrap, festive wax paper and an original Maine Lobster Valentine tag. Here’s how the shell cracks:
- Lobster Trap Company – Their bouquet kit comes six lobster tails and clam chowder for two for $99.
- Hancock Gourmet Lobster Company – These folks offer a six-tail kit for $199. And if you’re a procrastinator, they’ve got an option for overnight and priority overnight shipping.
- Lucky Catch Lobster – Their bouquet kits start at $89 (for two tails)…and go all the way up to $359 (for 20 tails…hey, who knows how many sweeties you’re looking to impress).
If you want to really impress your Valentine with your lobster cooking skills, the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative suggests skewering the tails and put them in salty boiling water. The number of tails and weight determine the time they need to cook.

A Pizza Chain Ran a New Ad and Didn't Realize It Included Porn
A pizza joint near Philly ran an ad last week because they wanted some exposure. But this wasn't the kind of exposure they were looking for . . .
There's a family-owned pizza chain called Chiaro's that has a few locations near Philadelphia. This month, they ran a new ad in a local magazine that was mailed out to thousands of people. And somehow, no one noticed it included PORNOGRAPHY.
Chiaro's sells pizza, but also fancy coffee. So they included a photo of someone pouring cream into a cappuccino. Apparently they just pulled it off the internet.
And unfortunately, they didn't realize it was photoshopped . . . so the swirling foam on top was actually a NAKED GUY who's VERY well-endowed. (Here's the UNCENSORED photo.)
As soon as you see it, you can't unsee it. But no one at the restaurant or the magazine noticed before it went to print.
Chiaro's just found out about it last week and posted an apology on Facebook. They said they pride themselves on being a family-friendly business, and were devastated when someone pointed it out to them.

(The image itself is sort of infamous online. It's of a now-dead porn star named Wardy Joubert the Third. People prank each other with it by pretending to link to something important. Then you click, and it's just Wardy in all his glory.)
