MIX by Sprite Tropic Berry

MIX by Sprite Tropic Berry tastes like sprite with some pineapple tossed in. Wow, that sounds so much better than this! I'm so going to try that some day.

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Tomato Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich from Canada

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Tomato Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich from Canada is not at all Canadian. I mean, where are the waffles? 

This thing is dry and not that great. There are better things you can get at the golden arches than this. Could have use more cheese as well.

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Stroopwafel McFlurry from the Netherlands

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Stroopwafel McFlurry from the Netherlands is what you get if you don't want to taste your soda. After that it was so poorly mixed together that I ended up just eating vanilla ice cream. The other stuff sticks to the spoon. Try harder next time Netherlands.

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger from Spain

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger from Spain is a burger done right. I mean, look at all that cheese and meat. This heart attack on a bun is so juicy that it dripped on my shirt. Great burger, almost as good as In N' Out.

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Cheesy Bacon Fries from Australia

McDonald’s Worldwide Favorites Cheesy Bacon Fries from Australia are what happens when you take an American classic and add substandard parts. These are not as good as normal fries. The cheese is nasty, and the bacon is okay. I would have much more liked just normal fries with some ketchup. (Singing) fail, fail, fail, fail, faaaail.

Dr. Pepper Dark Berry

Dr. Pepper Dark Berry is what you get when Dr. Pepper needs to grab some press. Some folks I've met love this stuff. To me it just tastes like Dr. Pepper. 

It's blue so that could mean blueberry which tastes like nothing anyway. Then again, the fact that they don't tell you what kind of berry is worrying.  

On the other hand, if you drink Dr. Pepper then you have no idea what it should taste like and so not knowing should be just fine. We drink the good old pepper for the caffeine. 

The Hideout Pizza and Grill Corn on the Cob

At the Hideout Pizza and Grill in Anaheim California you can get corn on the cob. It's a little under seasoned so for my taste I needed to add some pepper. Other than that it was rather good.

Dulce Pradera Concha Rosa

Dulce Pradera Concha Rosa is a flavorless bit of thick bread that is covered in rose frosting. Tastes like nothing but may stop up your guts like eating dirt. I got four of these, but I didn't finish eating one. Nasty.

Cultured Classics Old Fashioned Cream Cheese Garlic & Herbs

Cultured Classics Old Fashioned Cream Cheese Garlic & Herbs isn't vary creamy. It's more cheese than anything else and I don't see any part of a man named Herb, or more than one man named herb, as the name suggests. 

After that, I have to admit I liked it so much that I had two bagels of this one right after another. Great stuff this Cultured Classics Old Fashioned Cream Cheese Garlic & Herbs.

Trader Joe's 100% Cranberry Juice

Trader Joe's 100% Cranberry Juice is tart as hell and tastes like it has no sugar in it. I mean, dang that stuff is strong. I mean, not a good drink, but I'm sure I won't have a urinary tract infection after drinking this.

The Hideout Pizza and Grill Rolls

I ordered the fish and chips at The Hideout Pizza and Grill in Anaheim California and these rolls came with the meal. I had to put these in a bag and take them to work I was so full. 

In any case, these were better than I thought they would be. Hardy and good to chew. 

Keebler Unicorn Fudge Stripes

Keebler Unicorn Fudge Stripes are so magical that they attract kitties. Past that they taste okay and go great with coffee. The little candy balls that come in these things crunch in your mouth and these fudge strip cookies are hard for me to say no to. That's really good for cookies.

The Hideout Pizza and Grill 'Chips'

Over at The Hideout Pizza and Grill in Anaheim you get seasoned fries with the meatball sub but these 'chips' with your fish and chips. I found it a bit hard to wrap my had around the idea of just having more than one french fries without it being noted. 

These things are okay. I don't mean to say they kick ass but they are good enough to eat.

Oroweat Original Oatnut Bread

Oroweat Original Oatnut Bread isn't all that original and needs more nut. I mean, if it's the nuts that grow on trees. The other kind of nut I don't want in my bread. This stuff is rather good to be honest. I get it all the time. Hearty bread, could be softer, not bad at all.

H.J. Heinz Vintage 1896 Recipe Tomato Ketchup

H.J. Heinz Vintage 1896 Recipe Tomato Ketchup has a smokey flavor that will be hell to get out of the bottle. For the most part it just tastes like ketchup to all but the most refined pallets. 

I wouldn't go looking for this unless you have a thing for trying new things like I do, because I hardly noticed this wasn't just Heinz.

House Blend Ice Coffee Max Maxwell House 2X Boost

House Blend Ice Coffee Max Maxwell House 2X Boost is one of those products with a long name that pissed me off. I mean, can't you cut something out of that name. 

Past that, stuff works good, tastes okay, and does not go with blueberries.  

In N' Out Well Done French Fries

In N' Out Well Done French Fries are what you get when they double fry some In N' Out Fries. They're kind of like potato chips only in stick form. 

Are they great? Nah, but they are a great change if you want something different, but also want a classic burger. 

Bgreen Organic Black Rice Ramen

Bgreen Organic Black Rice Ramen is a wholly unflavored ramen product. That means no salt which is a good thing, because I get enough salt.  It cooks up in five or six minutes and will turn your soup water black. In fact, the instructions say you should make it in its own water then transfer it to your soup.

I can't say these are way better than normal noodles, but I made them one day and couldn't wait to get home and make them the next.  Good stuff these, flavor as you like.

In N' Out Flying Dutchman

In N' Out's 'Flying Dutchman' is a grilled cheese sandwich with the bread replaced by meat.  Yeah, I don't get it to be honest, but it's a thing. I mean, I walked up and said "Give me a Flying Dutchman" and the girl knew what I was talking about. I guess this is another in the low carb world, but eat too many of these things and you'll be constipated.

Trader Joe's Fair Trade Five Country Espresso Blend

Trader Joe's Fair Trade Five Country Espresso Blend is a dark acidic coffee that I'm using wrong. Then again, I love dark coffee, and this is normally my jam, but I can tell that if I had the whole pot I would feel sick. 

This is some strong stuff not to be had in the natural and with few notes of the original flavor of the beans.  

This is great staying up coffee, but not so great tasting coffee. 

Farmer Boy's Bacon Boy

The Farmer Boy's Bacon Boy is a hamburger with bacon. I mean, that's it. It's not like a big load of bacon, but then it is bacon. Mmmmm bacon.

The Hideout Pizza and Grill Garlic Parmesan Wings

Over at The Hideout Pizza and Grill in Anaheim California you can go get some wings. The website is a little wonky right now, but I know these are garlic something. 

The meat came right off the bone with these, and the garlic is for those of us who don't like it hot. I will say that you need to have a napkin to eat these, but if you like wings these will hit the spot. They are a little drippy.

La Colombe Coffee Vanilla Draft Latte

La Colombe Coffee Vanilla Draft Latte tastes almost nothing like coffee. It has a very milk like flavor. As you can see it has a strong froth and does well over ice. 

Over all, this is a milk lovers drink because it doesn't have the sweet of Starbucks or the grit of coffee. These are okay but I wouldn't get them again. 

The Hideout Pizza and Grill Potato Salad

At The Hideout Pizza and Grill  in Anaheim California this is the Potato Salad. I don't eat potato salad. I gave this to a coworker who said she very much liked the stuff. Me, I fear eating that will turn my insides into a self aware white slime that will take over the world.  

The Hideout Pizza and Grill Fish and Chips

Over in Anaheim California if you have a hankering for Fish and Chips at two in the morning you can get yourself to The Hideout Pizza and Grill and get this plate. This also comes with potato salad, but I have never understood potato salad. 

As fish and chips go this is mid grade stuff. I mean, it's not the best I've ever had and far from the worst. It does not come with a lemon slice.  

This was a lot of food. It was hard for me to finish.  I don't think I'll get it again only because they have better things at The Hideout.

Little Beijing Hot Wings

Little Beijing is my go to for American food inspired by China and the addition of Hot Wings feels out of character. Then again, I'm sure I can only get this kind of stuff in America so hot wings should feel right at home if they add a little sesame.

Now, I keep clear of hot food most of the time and I need a drink to eat these, but you only get three of them. 

Soylent Cafe Coffiest

If you're a Sci Fi geek like I am then you can't help but want to try a product names Soylent if for no reason other than to make a joke about it being made of real people. 

Now, I keep a bottle of this Soylent Cafe Coffiest in my work bag so that when I get hungry I can fill my gut. This stuff makes the hunger go away and that's what it's for. 

How does it taste, it's like coffee with milk and no sugar. Not bad, really, but not great. It can be pricey, so best to consume in moderation. 

Denny's Hash Brown

Denny's Hash Browns are a thing that exist. They are like you get anywhere and are so normal that they represent America's link to English food. They are what one calls bland.

Peter & Pat's Pierogies Potato, Mushroom, & Parmesan

I have to admit I put my Peter & Pat's Pierogies Potato, Mushroom, & Parmesan in the freezer and forgot about them for some time. That means I can take them or leave them.

The potato part can hold a lot of heat so you need to let them cool, and these don't have a lot of protein so you need to add that to them in the form of sausage or something. 

After that, these are good. I mean, mild in nature and can be spiced up with pesto or onions. These Pierogies can be an appetizer or a main starch. 

I love these things, but then the cooking instructions are a bit of a pain. Don't make these for entertaining until you get the hang of them.  

Little Beijing Sesame Chicken

Little Beijing Sesame Chicken could use a good deal more of it's signature flavor. The chicken is there but get me some more sesame. 

Denny's Grand Slamwich

The Denny's Grand Slamwich is a grand slam made into a sandwich. It looks so much smaller then the one on the menu. 

I will admit that these are okay, but I sat there wanting more. I'm one big dude so that's not surprising but the good old Grand Slam looks better to me.
