A new business just opened two doors down from our local Nothing Bundt Cakes (with the typeface that looks like it says "butt" and the logo that looks like poop).
What's the new place called?
It's called...
iCream Yogurt & Crepes
Slogan: you don't want a butt cake? Okay, I (will) cream (in your) yogurt.

Why would you want to associated any shop (with the possible exception of an adult store) with condoms?
They don't even have any products that feature lettuce, they are fucking bakeries.

What is SoyFACE?SoyFACE (Soybean Free Air Concentration Enrichment) is an innovative facility for growing crops under production field conditions in an atmosphere that has higher levels of carbon dioxide and ozone, higher temperature and altered soil water availability. SoyFACE was designed to discover the effects of atmospheric change on the agronomy and productivity of Midwestern crops as well as to find solutions that will lead to crops better adapted to this future.
