Back in 2002, Pepsi released Pepsi Blue, a berry flavored cola building off the hype that was Crystal Pepsi. Pepsi Blue ended production in 2004 and finally made its return here in 2021. If you have been waiting approximately 17 years to get diabetes, now is your chance. My local Target did not carry this […]
Pringles Halo Moa Burger chips is one of the most obscure products ever created. It has no business even being a thought in someone’s mind, let alone an actual product you can buy. Sold exclusively at Walmart for a limited time, I think these chips were originally supposed to be a marketing tie-in for Halo […]
Wendy’s, probably best known for their Frosty dessert treats and heart attack inducing baconators, is coming after McDonald’s, BK, and Taco Bell with their new line-up of breakfast items. Although the breakfast sammies available are in-line with the rest of the fast food offerings, there is one secret weapon Wendy’s provides with every item sold […]
Starved for Fun It’s no secret that I’m a huge party game fan. In my opinion, gaming reached a certain peak right around the time that couch multiplayer reigned supreme. It was a simpler time, back when four controllers and a couple large pizzas were all you needed for a memorable game night. It seems […]
Salty Carbs The back of this Nissin Cup Noodles packaging states “for the very best ramen noodle soup.” However, instead of calling this “soup” or “noodles,” a more accurate statement would be to call this dish “salt mixed with some other stuff.” If you want increase your blood pressure, Nissin has your meal ticket right […]
Tasting Mario’s Mustache Nintendo and the Mario brand are no stranger to the food industry. Whether it is Super Mario amiibo cereal or McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, Mario and the crew have been making terrible food choices since the mid-80s. One of the latest Mario related snacks are these Kellogg’s fruit snacks, or Assorted Fruit […]
Digital Breakfast Mario not only saves the princess from the clutches of evil lizards, he also has been saving stomachs from hunger pangs for many years. Outside of fruit snacks and McDonald Happy Meal toys, Mario is actually no stranger to the breakfast cereal category. Back in the 80s, Nintendo released a dual pack, limited […]
Yellow and Thick Browsing through my local grocer, my eye was drawn to colorful new packaging that seemed different but yet familiar. Hostess has now entered the ice cream market by taking three of their unhealthy snack foods and converting them into a high sugar and saturated fat frozen dessert. Like a mirage in the […]
Now With More Dieabetus Ah yes, spring time. You know what that means – allergies, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, and marshmallow Peeps are on the way. Never satisfied with the status quo, Oreo is not afraid to branch out into uncharted territory. Peanut butter, red velvet cream cheese, and even Swedish Fish […]
They Are Brown, Not Orange The idea of mixing artificial salty snacks with artificial fast food is nothing new. Taco Bell has been doing it for years with their Doritos Locos taco and has even been sneaking Fritos in their burritos lately. Burger King has jumped on this bandwagon to compete with these other unhealthy […]
Chemicals And Sugar Back in the early 90’s, Pepsi released Crystal Pepsi, a clear alternative to their popular caramel colored soft drink. While initial sales were solid, the fad quickly died and only remained in circulation for about a year. Fast forward to 2016 and Pepsi has brought back their secret recipe more or less […]
Does Chicken Belong in Fry Format? – Breasts. Fingers. Strips. Tenders. Nuggets. Rings. Dinosaur. Buffalo. BBQ. Fried. Grilled. Chicken comes in many shapes, sizes and types. My question, however, is – does chicken really need to be in fry format? I am pretty sure to answer to that is resounding no. Burger King, cockily the […]
Food For Younglings – Like the rest of planet Earth, I am excited about Star Wars Episode 7. The expectations for this movie are sky-high to say the least and Disney wants to capitalize on this money-making opportunity. It is impossible to walk into any mass merchant retail environment and not see Star Wars propaganda […]
F**king Your Mouth With Flavor – Doritos Jacked 3D Bacon Cheddar Ranch is like the badass renegade you see in the movies. No one stands in their way. They will kick your ass and never apologize. They don’t help old ladies cross the street. They have full sleeve tattoos. They ride motorcycles without helmets. They […]
Balls in Your Mouf – Over a year ago, we covered Taco Bell’s new breakfast menu. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to cover the Cinnabon Delights, little bite sized cinnamon puffs, mostly because we were still sick from the Waffle Taco. Taking what they have learned from their original Cinnabon model, Taco Bell […]
Blue Sugar – Like all other Pop-Tarts, including the special 50th Anniversary version, this new Blue Raspberry “breakfast” item is shockingly sweet and features some poor packaging decisions. Smothered in a white frosting with blue glaze, these tarts are on par with pretty much every other Pop-Tart out there only the inside goo is now […]
Coke Now Makes Milk – When you think of the white liquid that comes from cows, you probably don’t think of Coca-Cola, the company that makes brown chemical based beverages that are extremely high in sugar and is pretty much poison to humans. The times have changed, however, as Coke has recently dipped their toe […]
Ghettos – Transitioning from a cheese puff to a cinnamon sugar puff might seem like a natural evolution for America’s favorite processed cheetah endorsed snack but this is one poisonous puff that never should have been. For a limited time only, Sweetos are cinnamon sugar puffs that are baked in tears and sorrow. Not quite […]
Not Cream Cheese… Cream Cheese Flavor. – Oreo has been expanding their library of flavors over the last year or so, establishing new twists on America’s favorite cookie from birthday cake to lemon varieties.

‘Tis the Season – Getting into the holiday spirit, Pringles goes all festive on your ass with two limited edition flavors: White Chocolate and Cinnamon & Sugar.

Adding Sugar To Your Fruit – Have you ever bitten into fruit and said “man, this fruit just isn’t sugary enough”? Affy Tapple, not to be confused with taffy apple, has solved this lack of sugar conundrum with their famous caramel covered apples each and every Halloween season. Since 1948, their products have evolved from […]
Merging Worlds – Coke or Pepsi? Toilet paper over or under? Salt or Pepper? Ketchup or mustard? Great debates like these have plagued mankind since the beginning of time. Knowing that consumers are always faced with life altering tough decision like these, Nabisco decided to make life a little easier by blending the best of […]
YOTO: One Only Toast Once – Kellogg’s is celebrating the 50th anniversary of their world renowned Pop-Tart with a “flavor flashback” chocolate vanilla crème design. Personally, I think it is kind of a weak way to celebrate a 50th birthday but these are tasty treats nonetheless. These limited birthday edition tarts come with the standard […]
Fighting Hostess – Taking the fight to Hostess’ doorstep, SaraLee has started a cupcake war with their new Chocolate Crème Cupcakes. While they probably won’t win this pastry melee against the Twinkie Kings, they at least can level the playing field. Just like the Hostess cupcakes every American has been shoving down their pie-holes since […]
Peel Down to Throw Up – Instead of focusing on their unforgettable candy empire, Wonka is dipping their toe into the ice cream realm with these new Peel-A-Pop popsicles. This Nestle owned company really should just stick with what they are good at because this is honestly one of the grossest things I have ever […]
That Medicine Flavor – Nabisco is starting to take the world famous Oreo into new directions by offering a slew of new flavors including mint, chocolate, birthday cake, ice cream, peanut butter, and even watermelon. Truth be told, it is getting a little out of control and no one can keep up with all this. […]
The Slider Goes Waffle – A couple months ago I wrote an article about the new Taco Bell breakfast menu. Now, after trying the new White Castle Belgian Waffle sandwiches, which are also competing for the consumer breakfast dollar, I can say how much fast food just sucks all the way around. Without question, the […]
Now You Can Hate Yourself All Day! – Giving McDonalds and Burger King a run for their money, Taco Bell has just started to play in the breakfast food category. What exact does this have to do with games, technology, and other geeky stuff? Nothing really, I just wanted an excuse to blog about this […]
If you are like me, you played the original [i]Lego Star Wars[/i] to death, and have been eagerly waiting the sequel. You cheered when LucasArts said that you would be able to import characters from the original game to the PS2, Xbox, PC, and GCN versions. However, since the 360 version has been announced, the […]
