Resolved Question: why do we love mars bars so much when its the cost as gone up and as been size down?
In 2002, the UK Mars bar was reformulated and repackaged.[4] The nougat was made lighter, the chocolate on top became noticeably thinner, and the overall weight of the bar was reduced slightly. This was met with outrage from Mars purists, as in a sales pitch to local media in Slough, the change in ingredients was to follow the trend of its sister the Milky Way bar, the Double Decker and 5 Star bars. Product designers at The Mars Candy Company in the US, put this down to nostalgia over the past hugely popular Starbar which also contained the same reinvented 'light whipped nougatine.' The packaging was also redesigned with a less-bold and a more cursive logo.
The famous slogan "A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play" was written by William Dagnall as a competition tie breaker in 1966 but often erroneously attributed to Murray Walker[5] This was replaced with "Pleasure you can't measure", a re-branding intended to appeal to a more feminine, youthful market.[6]
Various sizes are made: miniature bars called "Fun Size" (19.7g) and "Snack Time" (36.5g) (both sold in multiple packs); a larger multi-pack size of 54g; the regular sized single 58g bar and a "king-size" (also called Adam-sized) 84g bar which has since been replaced by "Mars Duo" (91g) - a pack that contains 2 smaller bars instead of 1 large one. The regular 58 gram single bar contains 259 calories.
In the second half of 2008, Mars UK reduced the size of regular bars from 62.5g to the current 58g. Although the reduction in size was not publicised at the time, Mars claimed the change was designed to help tackle the obesity crisis in the UK. The company later confirmed that the real reason for the change was triggered by rising costs.[7] [8] In the UK, most Mars bars are still made at the Slough Trading Estate.

I have to translate a French article in English, my translation is very likely to have grammar and “syntax” mistakes. Thank you for your help.
General Motors, an exhausted giant
Ann Arbor special correspondent in Michigan
Famous, the sentence had been said in 1953 by the CEO of General Motors (GM), Charles Wilson: “What is good for America is good for GM, and vice versa”. At that time, it was more than a slogan, it expressed a national conviction. Until the 1980’s, the car manufacturer was holding itself more than the half of the family car’s domestic market in the United States. It has only 22% of it left. But its power is not the only thing which has been affected, its image is also deeply damaged. Is it too late to boost a giant which does not appear bled white as much as exhausted? Craig Fitzgerald, car consultant for the company Plante&Moran, in the Michigan, admits that the question is well-founded. Beyond the cost, he wonders “Can they succeed in? Do his managers have the talent and the will to make it?” A lot of people begin to doubt it. And far more people fear that the failure of a reflationary policy, after having cost astronomic amounts of money, is hugely more damaging. Even the public opinion does not come to the car manufacturer’s expectation, as if the two letters GM, or even the word “Detroit”( the name of the big city of Michigan where are the headquarters of car manufacturers, which symbolized the very idea of power) were smeared, discredited.
moreResolved Question: engagement ring...?
I want to propose to my GF... but do I need a DIAMOND ring? why can;t it be just gold? It's not the money, it's just the message it sends. I wan't her to like me for me, not because I can buy her jewelry. A marriage should be based on trust and love, not on stuff i buy her. The ring symbolizes a lot of things, but marriage symbolizes everything between 2 people and I just don't think a diamond is necessary. Besides, diamond rings for engagements only started maybe 50 years ago by the diamond company Debeers. Wikipedia says:
"The diamond engagement ring did not become the standard it is considered today until after an extensive marketing campaign by De Beers in the middle of the 20th century, which came to include one of the most famous advertising slogans of the 20th century: “A Diamond is Forever”... look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engagement_ring
I think a $50 gold ring for each of us would be fine. What do you think?Wow, you can really tell a lot about a person by their answer to this question.

moreResolved Question: Would Cameron Diaz wear a bag with a Swastika symbol in Israel?
Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion crime in Peru.
They suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring there on Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong's favourite political slogans.
While she explored the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in Peru's Andes, Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words 'Serve the People' printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao's most famous political slogan.
While the bags are marketed as trendy fashion accessories in some world capitals, the phrase has particular resonance in Peru.
The Maoist Shining Path insurgency took Peru to the edge of chaos in the 1980s and early 1990s with a campaign of massacres, assassinations and bombings.
Nearly 70,000 people were killed during the insurgency.what is the American liberal's fascination with communist regimes responsible for killing 100s of millions of people?
Are they really this evil?

I have to do make this advertisment in English, and I have to market or sell a real "celebrity". The point is I have to get their name out there, and make the target audience (10-17 year olds) supposedly want to buy the record or whatever the celebrity is famous for. I choose to represent Lillix. I need a slogan advertising Lillix, and what their all about. The problem is I cannot think of a good slogan, without it sounding cheesy. I thought Lillix was a good choice because they, in a way represent "whole-some" things...I mean they don't support being stick skinny, they support being healthy. And they care about world issues, as well they have normal hobbies like snowboarding that people can actually relate too. IIf you don't know who they are, think of an up and coming artist and you have to make up a slogan that will apeal to teenagers. You want ppl to buy the cd. So if any of you can think of a good slogan representing Lillix or whoever and any ideas you have for the script.
