You Are The Bhe'st Lasagna!

Being a Lasagna person made me quite picky with its variations. And many have become to bland, too sweet, or too common that the joys of eating Lasgna has lost its spark. But I found hope with a rising name in homemade Lasagna with Bhe'st Lasagna!

Incidentally, Bhe is the nickname of its owner Rossini Rufon, fits with the word "best" and has proven this with the quality of each pan. Though they don't have a physical store, they would get orders that are available for pick-up or delivery in the metro.

Celebrate real-world connections with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola!

People nowadays have a lot of options when it comes to interacting with one another. All the advancements in technology, smartphones and gadgets allow us to communicate online via messaging apps and social networking sites.

This is why McDonald’s and Coca-Cola, two iconic, global brands and long-time partners, which champion happiness, enjoyment and togetherness, are taking a stand and encouraging people to stay offline a little longer and enjoy real-world connections. Although embracing online connections, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola believe it is our physical interactions which make our digital lives more meaningful—that real-life moments, such as hearing a story in person, receiving a warm hug and sharing a McDonald’s meal and Coke drink face-to-face, are those which create lasting memories.
