Sooner than expected, the great house
retooling of 2013 has ended. At last I can place tea light turkeys
wherever I please without fear of reprisal. This week also marked the
first notable snowfall of the season, which not only melted but was
replaced by one hell of a wind storm. Those events would mark this
week as notable no matter what else occurred yet I was still lucky
enough to get in some new foodstuffs.
White Chocolate Pringles
This little freak show evaded me last
year. It's luck ran out tonight though as it sat in a wally world
aisle next to the cinnamon sugar variety (not bad) and the pecan pie
kind (oh god no! Kill it with fire!). I figured these would be
horrible and as fate would have it, I was proven both right and
wrong. When you first pop one of these in your mouth it is
disgusting, but then it mellows out a little, then it gets kinda
tasty. Plus; the more of them you eat, the more that effect
increases. I have no idea how to rate/rank something like this so I
asked around, and on a scale of one to ten my sister rated them as
banana.
Monster Ultra Red Energy Drink
I'm an open lover of energy drinks. I
will (and frequently do) try as many varieties as I can lay my mangy
paws on, with the exception of any hazelnut coffee entries(...it's a
long story). The low cal/carb versions don't tend to fare very well
but I give em a chance at least. This one did not live up to that
it's potential quite frankly. Honestly the regular monster ultra is
halfway decent. Ultra Red however, is another story. There's nothing
altogether too rotten about it, so much as it's just horribly lame.
Ya know how stuff from taco bell tastes like beige and brown in a
good way? Well this just tastes like low cal red coloring. If that
sounds like something you'd be interested in then go right ahead, but
those who like some flavor with their gank sauce are best off
avoiding this one.
Candy Cane Milano Cookies
For as confusing as the Pringles might
be, this was just pure joy. I love mint chocolate anyway and these
are just so clean and fresh tasting. They go great with coffee as
well which is always a major bonus for me. If you get the chance,
you'd do well to pick up a package.
Sweet Lemonade Peeps
My mother found these at a Shell
station and knowing what a massive peeps lover I am, picked up a
package for me. Oddly enough you only get two peeps for more than it
usually costs to get a full pack of the regular ones. The whole thing
is a tie-in for some childhood cancer foundation that I'd never heard
of before which means that proceeds from these things at least go
towards a good cause. Sadly, the peeps people failed to bring their
A-game to the table as these are kinda gross. As I pointed out
before, I fucking love Peeps but these smell like chemical cleaner
and taste a little bit like what I imagine cat piss tastes like. With
some retooling they might work, but as they stand now I'd only
recommend them to my fellow peep freaks.
I should be back with something else
later in the week, and I'm hoping to bring in something major around
Thanksgiving so keep an eye out folks.
