Pop secret: Turns out McDo’s secret sauce isn’t much of a secret after all. You can find the recipe right here, along with reasonable facsimiles of Grape Nuts Cereal, Starbucks Frappuccino and A&W Chili Dogs. Turns out there’s more to it than mixing ketchup and mayonnaise and leaving it out in the sun. So why go out for junk food when you can make it at home at www.recipeinsider.com/find/Secret-recipes.html.
Hang up, try again: The number you have dialed may not be in service, but this Web site sure is, and it serves up all the “classic” operator recordings you hated to hear back in the day, like American 800 numbers you can’t call from Canada and aggravating reminders to dial an area code for local calls from back before you were used to it. What’s this good for, other than geeky nostalgia? Techno remixes, confusing voicemail greetings, podcast filler, ringtones. Really, it’s up to you at www.payphone-directory.org/sounds.html.
