September 12th Is #FRYday -Free Small French Fries At McDonalds ~~Giveaway~~



September is National Potato Month and as a way to say thank you to our customers, local McDonald’s restaurants in Connecticut (excluding Fairfield County) and Western Massachusetts will offer the ultimate surprise giveaway - a FREE SMALL FRENCH FRY on #FRYday, September 12 between 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (limit of 1 per customer, no purchase necessary).

McDonald's french fries are a secret obsession of mine, so I have every intention of taking full advantage of Fryday!!!

Here are some fun french fry facts!!

*Golden on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Made with quality potatoes and cooked in our Canola oil blend for zero grams of trans fat per serving.  A small serving is only 230 calories.

*Their potatoes are inspected by hand and each potato must meet McDonald's high-quality standards.

*Only nine suppliers produce McDonald's french fries globally.

Some History on how those yummy french fries have gotten here-

*1955- Mid 1960's- French Fries were made fresh in restaurants with employees peeling, cutting, washing, blanching in oil, and frying them.

*Mid 1960's- The frozen french fry process was introduced by Food Scientist Ken Strong, and Food Researcher Edwin Traisman.

*Mid 1970's- New technologies like the steam peeler, new cutting systems, and automatic defect removal equipment are introduced.

*2008- McDonald's completely transitioned to the new 0-gram TFA canola blend cooking oil.

The good folks at McDonald's want to add more to the fun of Fryday, by giving one lucky reader a cool McDonald's prize pack with all sorts of fun goodies!!



You get- a $25 McDonald's Gift Card, fry playing cards, a fry mouse pad, Free Medium Fry coupons and a Free Extra Value Meal coupon all loaded up in a branded McDonald’s fry tote bag.

This Week Is "Bark Week" On The #HubNetwork



Fresh off the heels of “Shark Week,” “Bark Week” is a week full of fun canine programming for kids and their families to enjoy together starting this Sunday, August 17 to Friday, August 22. The tail-wagging week will feature four popular series from Animal Planet — “America’s Cutest,” “It’s Me or the Dog,” “Bad Dog!” and “Too Cute!” — airing for the first time on the Hub Network, as well as a different dog-themed family movie each night.



LOS ANGELES - Fresh off the biting adventures of Discovery's "Shark Week" comes the Hub Network's celebration of a furrier creature - dogs. Starting Sunday, August 17 to Friday, August 22, the Network is bringing everyone's favorite family member and best friend to its air with "Bark Week," a special week full of fun canine programming for dog-lovers of all ages to enjoy. The tail-wagging week will feature four popular series from Animal Planet, a sister network also owned by Discovery, called "America's Cutest," "It's Me or the Dog," "Bad Dog!" and "Too Cute!" airing for the first time on the Hub Network, champions of family fun and the only network dedicated to providing kids and their families with entertainment they can watch together. It will also feature a different dog-themed family movie every night, including "Cats & Dogs," "101 Dalmatians," "102 Dalmatians," "Snow Buddies," "Good Boy" and "Scooby-Doo."
"'Bark Week' is fun new way that Hub Network delivers on its brand promise of making family fun by celebrating dogs and their special relationships with families," said Dena Kapan, Chief Marketing Officer, Hub Network. "By packaging popular, family friendly dog shows and dog-themed movies together with dog-umentary interstitials, the Hub Network is providing comical, clever and relatable content that the whole family will enjoy watching together."
"Bark Week" kicks off Sunday, August 17 with special presentations of the movie "Cats & Dogs" followed by the Animal Planet series "Bad Dog!" "It's Me or the Dog" and "America's Cutest." Beginning Monday, August 18 to Friday, August 22, the Network will also air an episode of Animal Planet's "Too Cute!" followed by a dog-themed family movie. It will cap off each night with an episode of "America's Cutest," an episode of "Bad Dog!" and an episode of "It's Me or The Dog." Please see below for a detailed schedule. "Bark Week" will also give viewers a humorous look into the wonderful world of dogs with fun dog-umentary pieces airing as interstitials throughout the week. Much like the brave explorers of "Shark Week," who lower themselves into shark infested waters in the name of science and learning, the pieces will feature the Hub Network intrepidly entering a dog-infested bark park to study the habits of the domesticated canine it its natural habitat.

Victoria brings her unique approach to American families.
About "America's Cutest"
Can dogs be inspired by music to dance? Which breeds can walk on their hind legs? "America's Cutest" counts down the cutest doggie clips in the web-o-sphere and introduces some of the cutest dogs ever seen.
