Where’s Herb?
Burger King launched a $40 million ad campaign in November 1985 called “Where’s Herb?” The idea was to find a character named Herb who’d never been to BK. Other chains pointed out that if Herb wasn’t at BK, it meant he probably liked other chains’ burgers more. Burger King profits fell 40% in 1986.

10 Times Businesses Let Their Signs Speak for Themselves
People who work in customer service roles are truly saints. Human beings, at least some of them, are determined to be as difficult as possible about every little thing.
Which is why employees and owners are getting fatigued with explaining things with words over and over again – and why these 10 signs are absolutely getting the job done now.

I am slow clapping for the people who came up with and posted these! Because they’re the true heroes. Well, and the nurses and doctors and health care workers. Them too.

Things You Should Never Say to Your Partner in Front of Your Kids
It’s good for children to hear their parents debate, split up chores, make compromises, and even argue, as long as it’s done with respect and apologies are also made public later on.
That said, a stable home and a solid partnership between parents is important to children’s development and emotional well-being, so here are 5 things you should never, ever say unless you’re in private.
5. My body is ____.
Image Credit: Pexels
Even if you feel uncomfortable or have gained a few pounds, making comments about your weight can have a negative effect on your child’s self-image.
Don’t talk about being “fat” or “skinny,” but it’s ok to say things about making healthy and good choices most of the time.
Your kids are always watching and listening, and they will internalize the messages you post about yourself.
4. You’re too sensitive.
Image Credit: Pexels
We’re never allowed to tell other people how they can feel.
Saying something like this invalidates the other person’s feelings and tells them they’re wrong to feel upset.
3. You never do anything around here.
Image Credit: Pexels
Work-life balance, and the unpaid labor we all have to do at home, is a sensitive topic.
In front of your kids, though, you should always strive to acknowledge how each partner contributes in different ways – even if the same person always makes dinner or takes out the trash.
2. I don’t care.
Image Credit: Pexels
If your partner is asking for your opinion, there are better and more polite ways to say you’re indifferent rather than saying “I don’t care.”
Try to give at least a little feedback.
1. Look what you did.
Image Credit: Pexels
This phrase makes the mistake into a big deal, which is rude and disheartening to the person who made it. Instead, you can try focusing on a) how the mistake can be fixed, and b) what we can learn from it for the future.
I’d like to think most of us didn’t need to be told, but you never know!
How careful are you about keeping things behind close doors? Tell us how you handle marital conflict in the comments!

‘Pride and Prejudice’ Jokes That Fans Will Truly Love
There are people in the world who still hate on Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice, but if you as me, it mostly just smacks of either envy or somehow thinking it makes you cool and superior to not like the thing everyone else enjoys.
Because the story, the characters, and the adaptations have endured for so long, there’s really no arguing they don’t have merit!
There are also ample jokes, which of course means you’ve made it, and we really love these 16.
16. I don’t think Jane did, either.
They existed only in her mind.
15. With less costuming, sadly.
I love that the GIF is Colin Firth.
14. I don’t know why this made me laugh so hard.
But here we are.
13. It helps more than you would have thought, too.
Especially when you are out of other options.
12. That first one is slaying me.
But…I agree with them all.
11. They don’t want any of that.
Not the first time around, anyway.
10. Talk about playing to your audience.
Or your customers, I guess.
9. Proof that some things about romance were better back then.
But no, not most things.
8. The magic of a good book.
It’s like an old friend and a new lover at the same time.
7. Take note authors and filmmakers everywhere.
It works every single time.
6. How did he suppose that would go over?
Ah, right. He’s Darcy.
5. I don’t know about sexier, but…
There’s definitely something about it that gets you going.
4. Why is this so scarily accurate though.
The Office is just so relatable.
3. Give me more of it, please.
I will watch it all day long.
2. I mean how dare.
This cracks me up.
1. Our expectations are high.
Great, even, one might say.
I’m a fan of the story, and now I’m a fan of these 16 jokesters. Ha!

15 Times Kids Had Hilarious Names for Everyday Objects
