#5. The I HAVE FOOD POISONING Update

EXAMPLES:

"Greg Cho is SO sick from the burrito he just ate at Chili’s."
"Mandy Boule doesn't feel right after that tuna casserole."
"Trevor Kemp always forgets he's lactose intolerant, until it's too late."

People sure love talking about food on Facebook, and the I Have Food Poisoning update is a close second behind the ever-popular I Just Ate Something Great update. In between trips to the bathroom, why not take a few seconds to tell all your friends about the pain you're going through? We've all been there, and chances are you'll ring in some sympathy with the news that you're buckling over with cramps from a meal gone wrong.

#4. The I JUST ATE SOMETHING GREAT Update

EXAMPLES:

"Callie Kent is loving this homemade cheesecake."
"Gwen Aplomb just ate tons of Sorrento's pizza. Mmm."
"Steve Larson just ate large quantities of fresh sushi."

There are so many kinds of eating updates (more to come in future posts), but the I Just Ate Something Great one is probably the most popular. What's the point of telling people about a fabulous eating experience you just had? Maybe it's a way to savor the treat a little longer. It's also something everybody can relate to and appreciate, and we all eat so often here in America that it's no wonder people are always talking about food on Facebook.

... Now, off to that pint of Haagen-Dazs in the freezer.
