Twitter index: Douglas Adams fans celebrate Towel Day, Denmark bans Marmite
German Douglas Adams fans on Twitter are celebrating Towel Day on the morning of May perhaps 25 with one of Twitter's leading topics as well as the German word for towel ("Handtuch").
Towel Day is celebrated annually on May well 25 as a tribute to the Hitchhiker’s Guide towards the Galaxy author Douglas Adams.
Microbloggers are outraged that the Danish government has banned the importation of New Zealand’s well-known breakfast spread Marmite for the reason that it can be "fortified with added vitamins."
"Cant think they've banned #marmite in denmark for getting too numerous vitamins stupid danish bastards," "Denmark banned marmite. The brits are now worried that it may well spread..." and "So Denmark has banned #marmite. That is sufficient grounds for a declaration of war in my book!" tweet outragedTwitter users.
The best 3 hashtags in Twitter’s most talked about topics list are "#wecanttalk," "#dospalabras" (Spanish for "two words") and "#incollege."
Twitter users can't get enough of "Alex Gaskarth," the lead singer of American punk band All Time Reduced. The singer is "is hot and sexy" and "more lovely devoid of a shirt" tweet microbloggers.
Former Cleveland Cavaliers coach "Mike Brown" will become the subsequent head coach with the Los Angeles Lakers in accordance with Twitter users.
The Spanish phrases "CALLATE SIRVIENTA" and "Situación Sentimental" are in fourth and ninth locations on the chart.
Twitterers are talking about ice hockey’s "biggest prize" with ninth place term "Stanley Cup Finals."
Marmite-loving Brit expats living in Denmark have expressed their shock and dismay in the government's selection to ban the legendary yeast-based spread, on the grounds that it contains "too quite a few vitamins".
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration has invoked a 2004 law concerning nosh "fortified with added vitamins". Based on the Guardian, Marmite has joined Vegemite, Farley's Rusks, Horlicks and Ovaltine on the list of proscribed foodstuffs.
the ban demonstrates the "absurdity" in the EU, which can declare Marmite perfectly legal, but can't ram it down Danes' throats.
Absurd it may perhaps be, but the choice may have deadly critical consequences for British tastebuds. Shaken ad executive Colin Smith, who's lived in Denmark for six years, mentioned: "What am I supposed to place on my toast now? I nevertheless possess a bit left in the cupboard, but it is not going to final long."
Yorkshire-born graphic designer Lyndsay Jensen, resident in Copenhagen, reckons the clampdown is much less about excess vitamins, and more to perform with very simple culinary xenophobia. She splendidly thundered: "They do not like it for the reason that it is foreign. But if they want to take my Marmite off me, they'll have to wrench it from my cold dead hands."
Jensen stated she was already preparing to procure supplies of Marmite from abroad, suggesting the scrumptious prospect of a thriving black-market trade in yeasty black gloop
