Review: Olipop

I was in Gelson's and the Olipop cans caught my eye so I tried three of them. Vintage Cola: Awful. Tasted like a horrible diet soda. Could not finish more than a few sips. 2/10. Classic Root Beer: Almost as bad as vintage cola. Had a few sips. 3/

Review: Hamburger Habit Ahi Tuna Filet

Habit claims their Ahi Tuna Filet is 390 calories. And the photo on the menu board looked pretty good so I gave it a try. This thing is really, really good. The tuna was cooked just about perfectly done. The shredded lettuce and mayo and tomato were perfect. This is

Cup Noodles??

Recently Cal was telling a story about how we were stuck in the cabin in Montana in June 2022 during a snowstorm and couldn't drive away because all we had was a minivan without 4 wheel drive. So he explained that we had to eat whatever we had stored in

Review: Nerds Candy Corn

I like Nerds Rope and Nerds and Nerds and Big Chew Nerds. I also like Candy Corn. But Nerds Candy Corn is terrible. 1/5

Review: Costco full size candy pack ripoff

We don't have many trick-or-treaters so we bought a full size candy assortment package from Costco. Some peanut M&Ms were left over so I grabbed a pack. It definitely felt lighter than a full size package should feel so I did some measuring. The scale shows it is 0.

Review: Which Wich Cloud Bread

When I was ordering my Wicked Wednesday sandwich from the Which Wich app (which is now $6 instead of $5) I was offered Cloud Bread. I had no idea what it was but decided to try it. When checking out I saw the $6 sandwich was now $7.50. But

Review: Chic-fil-a autumn shake

Recently a missionary told me that he was told that drinking this shake is "like being on a date with a pretty girl." I don't think it lived up to the hype. Tastes like drinking a shake with some cookies inside.

Review: Christmas Peeps

I remember reading that the Peeps company was expanding into different holidays besides Easter. I tried the Gingerbread and Christmas Tree peeps. The Gingerbread peeps were really good. Instead of plain sugar on the marshmallow it tasted a bit like cinnamon and tasted like Christmas. The Christmas trees were a

Review: Bob Ross Positive Energy Drink

This one actually seems worse than the fun dip. A Bob Ross canned drink. It is called a "positive energy" drink. It didn't taste particularly great. My mood was a bit positive though. But that good mood might have been because I was driving down the Gallatin Canyon toward Big

Bear Paws for Shredding Pork

These bear paws are an essential tool for shredding slow cooked pork. I have also tried some with skinnier all metal "fingers" but they don't work nearly as well.

Givebutter 100% Transparency

At a local high school football game the snack bar had an option to pay with Apple Pay. I chose that option and scanned a QR code on my phone and was taken to a site where I then put in the total for my transaction and could check out.

Review: Bobs Ross Flavor Palette

I picked this up while in line at Michael's. It seemed a little unsavory to use the deceased Bob Ross to sell a Fun-Dip ripoff. But I like Bob Ross and Fun-Dip so I gave it a try. The colors / flavors are not very creative. What about Prussian Blue Raspberry

Modern Apizza

Between Bar, Pepe's, and Modern Apizza in New Haven I believe Modern has the best pizza.

Pepe's Pizza in New Haven

Pepe's claims to be one of the first pizza spots in the USA. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the pizza is great. But Bar in New Haven has a better thin crust pizza in my opinion.

Birch Beer

I had never heard of Birch Beer. At a pizza place in New Haven the waitress offered it to me and couldn't believe I had never heard of it. It is basically root beer but it is clear like sprite.

Mexican Pizza is Back

Taco Bell says the Mexican Pizza is back permanently. I picked one up in Mission Viejo and it was great.

Back to School Night Tacos

Thanks to covid I missed two years of back-to-school nights. This year it was back to normal. 10 minutes in each class and 10 minutes between each class. And tacos before it all starts.

Hot Dog Straw

We saw the incredible beer through a hot dog straw on Instagram and had to try to make something even better. Wine through a hot dog straw. It was surprisingly difficult to bore the hole through a Dodger dog. I recommend using a metal straw or a standard length hot

Best Dessert in the World?

Ghirardelli® triple chocolate cookie, peanut butter, toasted marshmallows, vanilla bean ice cream. 1,580 calories. This might be the best dessert we have ever had. We had it a few years ago at BJ's and now it is back again for what they say is a "limited time." We can't
