2. That is so funny! I heard a DJ on a Christian station talking about the “Secret Menu Items” article too! When I heard that I said, “I have read or heard about this story so many times! And it all started with mental_floss.” Interesting that out of all the incredibly interesting stories you post, one about food is what gets everyone’s attention! So glad you are getting recognition!!!

5. Jason, quick question. Did NBC have to contact you in advance to get permission to use the article as a segment?

   If so, did they call you yesterday?

   If so, did they refer to the show as “The Today Show” or “The Tomorrow Show”?

6. I hereby authorize NBC to talk about our stories whenever they want. Just get our name right. (That goes for the other networks, too.)

7. I asked for a neopolitan shake at my local McDonald’s, and they looked at me like I was insane…I’m dissapointed.

8. Something not sure got mentioned, I love gordita’s from Taco Bell, but they got rid of the Gordita combo a long time ago. What you can do though is order a chalupa combo and ask them to replace the chalupa’s with gorditas

9. So, was the post in the magazine, or are they calling the blog Mental Floss Magazine?

17. Congrats Stacy! Read this post when it first came out and the other morning while driving and listening to the radio, one of the hosts mentioned this and i thought to myself “wow, that is just like Stacy’s post. What a coincidence” — well of course, it wasnt a coincidence, they were actually discussing your post. Keep up the AWESOME work!
