Japan McDonalds Now Carries Couple-Sized Jumbo Sodas (Because Japan)

Image Via Kotaku

It seems the sizes of soda cups in certain fast food chains has grown from cup sized single servings to barrells that a small army could live off of for three weeks. Japanese versions of the McDonalds chain is now offering a jumbo sized coke. But there is a slight catch, as you can see from the photo above. The drink is massive, but comes with a reminder that you are either destined to die alone, or that you at least have someone with you who loves you enough to take the journey to the other side with you.

There is, after all, nothing more romantic than the person who is willing to get diabetes with/for you, is there? Also, seems a great way for the fast food chain to remind people they should not be guzzling back that much carbonated sugar water by themselves. Either that, or remind them of the constant looming shadow that is is their epic loneliness.

Either or.

Metafilter Asks: What Are the Worst Songs?

When you think of the worst songs of all time, what kind of music do you think of? What is great about that question is that bad music is subjective. Coldplay being a perfect example because some people adore them, and some people think they are elevator music with lyrics. Though we can say what we think on the subject, there is no right or wrong answer. But Metafilter put together a forum with that exact question, and some of these answers are pure gold.

Just keep in mind, you are going to see a few songs you secretly love on there. I saw "Lady in Red" and got mad for a second, and then remembered it was my parent's wedding song and they divorced, so maybe there is even some truth in the songs you don't want to see on there. Either way, bad music is mostly subjective (but some music is just plain bad).

Microsoft Recreates Their 1994 Website

Do you remember the web from 20 years ago? With its five colors and thin, ugly fonts? Every website seemed to have a space theme, and you could tell people were clearly working on a canvas they were not yet familiar. Though the web has undeniably come far, sometimes it is cool to flashback willingly and see just how cheesy and simplified it was.

In case any of you have forgotten, Microsoft have recently re-released their websites in 1994 format, which you can check out right here. It is exactly as ugly and odd and cumbersome as you would think. Yet, it also stands as a time capsule to how far we have come aesthetically and otherwise in these last two decades.

So check it out. They tell you how they built the site and there are some other cool little odds and ends once you get to clicking. Mainly, though, you will be laughing that we once thought this all looked incredibly cool.

Guy Does Six Part Super Mario Theme Acapella With Himself

It takes a certain amount of confidence to be a solo musician, but what if you are a whole band and still solo? That, we would think, takes even more confidence. Or does it take less because you have a whole bunch of "you's" backing you up? Well, YouTube user csvy attempts to answer that with his awesome, solo, acapella rendition of the Super Mario Brothers theme. Please note, he also looks a lot like the chef from the animated movie Ratatouille. See for yourself and admire his vocal stylings.

I would say that is worthy of an extra guy.
