Cory’s Cookies sound delicious !

Little 10-year-old Cory is the proud owner of a cookies company. He started business a few years ago, when he decided that he wanted his mom to have a car, which she couldn’t afford. He had the idea to sell cookies in order to get enough money, she helped him make them and sell them.

Those cookies have been very popular, and now, they have a car !

Good job, Cory !

An unusual advertising campaign…

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a chain of restaurants in the USA, UK, Canada, Germany and France which specializes in burritos and tacos. Its name comes from the Mexican word chipotle which stands for the traditional dried and smoked chili pepper.

This food company asserts its efforts to use organic ingredients and meat of animals raised in decent conditions, as can be seen in this interesting ad.

The company communicates a lot about that on social media, even creating a game application called “The Scarecrow”.

Infomercials have been broadcasted as well on TV et on their Youtube channel.

Are they sincere in their adoption of this sustainable policy ? Or is this just another communication strategy ?

Coming soon : The Hundred-Foot Journey

At least, there is something for which the French are liked : their food. Swedish director Lasse Hallström likes making movies about food and love (Have you seen Chocolat, with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche ?), and his latest movie seems to illustrate that inclination. An American movie, shot in France, with Indian, English, French and Canadian actors. It’s a movie about differences, and different cultures, and how people overcome their prejudices by finding what they have in common. Sharing their passions.

In the USA, films are released on Fridays, so this one will be released in theaters tomorrow. In France, it will be released on September 10.
