What!?! Candy Bars I Won’t Eat!?
I’m boycotting this candy bar. Why, you ask? Well, Jezebel sums it up ever so nicely in their blog from February.

Allure Preservation
Linda Wells, EIC of Allure, is quoted in WWD yesterday as saying: Although one person’s voice is very entertaining, bloggers don’t have all the research to give a real assessment of a product.

WWD also says Laura Morante, another Frenchie actress, will be the face of Rénergie.
