What is the "other" white meat and where did the saying come from? Question: Having watched the likes of Austin Powers and hearing "its the other, *other* white meat", I wondered about the original. I assume white meat is chicken, so what is the other white meat? Answer: The "other white meat" is pork. In 1987 the U.S. National Pork Board, began an advertising campaign to position pork as "the other white meat" due to a public perception of chicken and turkey (white meat) as more healthy than red meat. The campaign was highly successful and resulted in 87% of consumers identifying pork with the slogan. As of 2005, the slogan is still used in marketing pork, with some variations. |

How many black people can you estimate live in places like: Italy, England, Rome, France, and other places?

Are women attracted to a guy who ignores other other guys? Question: Let's say a nice guy in the group asks him a question and he doesn't answer him? So in other words, he's not sociable with other guys. Is that an alpha male trait? Answer: This has nothing to do with attraction. I think I understand where this question comes from and why you may think this has something to do with being an "alpha male", but in the end this is over-analytical. You should be in your own reality, but I'd say there's a big difference between "I'm going to try and come across as an alpha male, so I'm going to purposely ignore this guy" and just being naturally distracted as a side effect of being the coolest guiy in the room that has everyone clamoring for their attention. |

Daily Controversy: Why do birds sit so close to each other other on telephone lines? Question: Why choose one spot over the other? Answer: Oh my gosh I thought about asking this yesterday! LOL I've always said since I was a little girl.... They are having their meeting to fly south. At the same time each year they do this when it gets cold. Winter is here now so shouldn't they have already flew south? Maybe they've had their meeting and not they are just keeping each other warm. |
