Every year the American’s stage the Super Bowl…

I understand there is some Gridiron football involved and apparently today the New Orlean’s Saints had a famous win… but for the rest of the western world, the superbowl is all about the sideshow event – commercials.

As part of the collective new year’s resolution for the FACTOR168 EVENT TEAM going into 2010 is to eat more fish and in particular oily fish like our pal the Salmon. Insread – we are happily munching on Kit Kat chocolates… We blame ‘geezer’ movie star Jason Strathman.

Well today it’s my birthday (cue fanfare music sting and dancing girls…. and… go sting …go girls) and I thought I’d share a guilty pleasure with you. You’ll like it. I promise.
No not that one… nor the one with the Salsa dipping sauce and Mojo Webb soundtrack… no. It is my Finnish pleasure.
