Online food traffic generator

How many Americans visit blogs? Answer - 5 out of 10. How many US adults are obese? Around 25% !! Is it any wonder that some of the Pisstakers' food-related posts generated the most online traffic.
Last year the MyBlogLog site showed that over 300 visited The Pisstakers in one day in search of gummi bears. Some bloggers actually found them. Hundreds kept coming back looking for more.
The tasty Polliwog found quite a few haribo gummi bears, which was good, seeing as she has 6 kids to feed. And with 6 kids to entertain, did she search for Gummi bears Cartoon Pictures?
Out of interest, how do you eat your gummi bears? Head first? That says something about you, you know!
At Easter, a flood of traffic came looking at my anecdotal research into shrinking Cadburys creme eggs
The marketing decision to shrink a product when everyone else is upsizing was too much for some. It was definitely too much for me. I felt ripped off by the puny size of my favorite creme-filled milk chocolate egg, and there was no one to complain to. So for therapy, I had to blog about it - and go buy twice as many eggs as normal.
I was happy, munching my way to chocolate heaven, bombarded by readers, but later that month, it wasn't such a happy scene at Funny HQ. My dentist was pissed at me for willfully damaging my gums - but I can assure you, he was not as pissed as I was by the cost to rectify the damage.
On a healthy note, the flood of gummi bear and chocolate egg traffic did not upset my web hosts. It doesn't surprise me. They are known as A Small Orange (ASO). They are a healthy bunch and their citrus servers are resistant to all known strains of food related hits.
If you are a blogger, here's my advice to stay healthy, avoid obesity, and attract lots of readers.
1 - Post about eating gummi bears and chocolate eggs in moderation
2 - Totally load up on small oranges.
3 - Live the dream and blog healthy.
I did all this, and me and my blog are healthy now.
