Much Ado About Magnum

Did anyone miss me? Probably not! Mwahahaha!

I wasn't blogging for awhile because I really couldn't care less about what's going on in social media. "Same old, same old," that's what I said. If it's not the latest viral video hating the Philippines, it's people criticizing Charice for her new Korean-inspired look. I felt that there wasn't something worthy to write about.

Then came Magnum, an ice cream brand from Unilever. Or should I say, then came the buzz--both negative and positive--about Magnum. I'm not really interested with an ice-cream bar especially since I'm on a diet but heaven knows, I'm so interested and overwhelmed with how people are reacting online about this brand. The sentiments range from extreme and pure loathing to blind and hysterical fascination--all because of an ice cream bar.

In a nutshell, here are the 10 stupid things people do on social media (and my comments in red!)
