Sharpie Twin Tip Permanent Markers, Fine and Ultra Fine, Black

Sharpie Twin Tip Permanent Markers are a little more expansive than normal Sharpies but I figure it had to be worth it for me to be able to mark the date I got something on my clothes. Yeah, that's what I use these for. I like to know how old my underwear is so I can buy more if it lasts. 

So, what am I saying? These are better than one tip Sharpies!

Old El Paso Bold Spicy Cheddar Flavored Taco Shells

There is no radioactive bee pollen on these Old El Paso Bold Spicy Cheddar Flavored Taco Shells. That's how you know you have the real deal. Don't believe me? Eat some Doritos and look at your hands. Radioactive Bee Pollen.  

Anyway, the lack of this pollen on these and the lack of flavor when you bite into them tells you that these are a bad idea. Then again, taco shells are for putting stuff in and should taste like corn really.

Duncan Hines Perfect Size for 1 Breakfast Muffin & Cake Mix, Buttermilk Pancake

Duncan Hines Perfect Size for 1 Breakfast Muffin & Cake Mix, Buttermilk Pancake has a long name that drags the product down. I mean, why don't we have a snappy name for these yet. How about Small cup cakes? These things are small, good, but leave you wanting more.

Coffee Mate Snickers

Coffee Mate Snickers is the most kick ass thing I've put in my coffee for a long time. A little of this stuff goes a long way and it tastes great. I have to say, I love this stuff. Then I love coffee and snickers. Put the two together, and I need new pants.

Farfalle Alla Bietola Rossa Tarall'Oro

Farfalle Alla Bietola Rossa Tarall'Oro is some kind of beet pasta. I can't say much for it save that the color fades when you cook it. It works okay in salad. I have to say I like this stuff, but there isn't that much beet.

I never thought I would say "more beet", but well, more beet.

McDonald's Minute Maid Pink Lemonade Slushie

McDonald's Minute Maid Pink Lemonade Slushie is a mix of syrup and ice that can be on the one hand too rich and on the other hand just cold. It's not as refreshing as maybe it should be. I think these things are okay. Not great, but worth trying to get the heat out of your head.

Cascadian Farm Organic Fruit Infused Wild Blueberry Lemon Bars

Cascadian Farm Organic Fruit Infused Wild Blueberry Lemon Bars taste, well, fruity. I guess fruity bars are a good thing but, well, I mean, I normally don't do fruity. 

These are okay, I wouldn't refuse to eat them if I was hungry but I wouldn't buy more.

Sweet Earth Awesome Grounds

Sweet Earth Awesome Grounds is a substitute for ground beef. It takes longer to cook and is not as satisfying as the the real deal. That said, it is a reasonable response to meat. I mean, I'm never going to forget  real meat but I could live with this for a time. 

Fake meat is getting better and better. Good job, hippy meat hating cow lover. You're almost there. Keep trying.

SE Grocers Instant Pudding & Pie Filling French Vanilla

SE Grocers Instant Pudding & Pie Filling French Vanilla is one of those products that lies to you right off the bat. How do you have French Vanilla pudding? French Vanilla is a kind of Ice Cream!

After that, how do you go wrong with pudding? I mean, I never had a pudding I didn't like.

Buddig Black Forest Ham

I can't say that I have a strong opinion of this Buddig Black Forest Ham. I mean, what should a ham from the black forest look like? Do fairies fly around it? 

In any case,  it tasted okay but had no magical properties.

Albert's Mexican Food #4 Cheese Enchilada & Bean Toastada

At 'Albert's Mexican Food in La Puente California this is a number 4. I ask myself why they even bothered putting this on the menu. It's not that filling and the cheese Enchilada needs to be cooked a bit more to make the cheese run.  

All and all, this is unoffensive American Mexican food. You eat this to fill your gut not get the authentic Mexican experience of having way too much time to play on your smartphone, because you can't leave the bathroom.

La Terra Fina Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip & Spread

Do you like raw onions? If you do then La Terra Fina Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip & Spread is for you. If you don't like raw onions they will mess the whole thing up for you. It says Spinach and Artichoke you idiots! If you're going to put onion then have that in the name. It's not like the name isn't already too long.

Bauducco Panettone

I will admit ignorance in the world of Penattone but from what I gather it is Italian fruit cake. Some folks dig it and some don't. This Bauducco Penattone showed up in my life and I didn't care for it but the woman at the homeless shelter I dropped it off at swore it was great with coffee. 

Then, the food there was rather bad. You open up their pantry and the smell of tuna threatens to pull you in and smother you.

Albanese World's Best Sherbet Gummi Bears

Albanese World's  Best Sherbet Gummi Bears are softer, more interesting, and better than most gummies I have had. They coast like it as well. 

I have to say, if you're a gummie person you should try these because they are very good but note that they are likely a lot more than your normal gummie thing. It's all about quality.

Dos Rios Cooked Beef with Taco Sauce Traditional

You can't see much of the cooked beef in these Tacos because I needed to ad vegetables. Vegetables make a meal worth eating. In any case, this is fine stuff. It flavored my vegetables and got me to eat at least four servings of them. 

If you want to know, yes I am still fat, yes I am trying to get better, no it is not working.

Monster Punch Energy Drink Baller's Blend

Monster Punch Energy Drink Baller's Blend tastes like any other punch out there. I don't know what a baller tastes like and I'm betting salty but why would you flavor a dink with that anyway. 

Come on, Monster, I'm here to take on my workload like a beast, not drink some dude you put in a blender.

Keebler Whoopsy! Fudge Stripes

Keebler Whoopsy! Fudge Stripes are meant to be a mistake that got packaged anyway. If the goal here was to undermine the dunk-ability of this cookie then good job. Otherwise, Fail!

These little monsters don't soften in coffee as they should and they don't store well in heat. 

They taste okay, but for me the cookie is for coffee.

Young's Flipper Dippers

Young's Flipper Dippers are potato fish. It's a funny thing to think about. Potatoes and fish don't go all that well together. To top it off after the allotted time in the oven these are not hard enough to pick up and can be wobbly. One would hope your fish potatoes would be stiff enough to dip without braking in half but not these. 

The flavor is okay. I would eat these again, but I wouldn't serve them at a party or anything because the don't dip well.

AHA Sparkling Water Citrus +

AHA Sparkling Water Citrus + is caffeinated sparkling water. It won't do much to keep me up at night because I drink the hard caffeine, but it sounds like it would be a great thing for a hangover.

Fresh Cravings Kichin' Queso Style Cashew Dip

The Cashew is lost in this Fresh Cravings Kichin' Queso Style Cashew Dip and all you really get is a spice flavor. This dip isn't going to bring the party but it will do it's job just fine. Like anyone is having a party right now anyway.

Luma Premium Soda cherry Cola Flavor

I couldn't stand Luma's Cola which is why I was so surprised when I tried their cherry cola and liked it. I'll give it more cherry than cola but then most colas taste bad and make you see why Coke is king. Give this a whorl. It's not  bad at all.

White Claw Hard Seltzer Ruby Grapefruit

White Claw Hard Seltzer Ruby Grapefruit is very grapefruit. If you like grapefruit then you have a grapefruit beverage that can't get you drunk. I'm not sure I get the point of these things.

Frontline Flea Spray

I've been using Frontline Flea Spray for years now and I have to say I'm disappointing. It's good at getting the cats off the table but past that and you can spray all you want to no real avail. 

It kind of works at first but the fleas just get used to it and you really need to work it in their with a struggling cat.

Guan's Mushrooms Shiitake Lentin

Guan's Mushrooms Shiitake Lentin have a bad smell when raw but that disappears when they are cooked. These will add elegance to your meal but not much else and are no better flavor wise than normal mushrooms. They are softer and have less of a texture. . . They do not get you to trip. Yes, random green koala in my work room, I'm sure. Now get out of here and take that yellow donkey with you.

Last Week Tonight Stamps

I received a horribly depressing email this morning informing me that the photo stamp program of the United States Post Office is shutting down. I received this email because I had purchased stamps featuring "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. These stamps will be available until the 10th of June so I needed to show them to you. 

After all, who's life would be complete without this stamp of a Middle Aged Mutant Safety Zebra holding is stop sign. Doesn't he look so happy and helpful?



And who could forget Mr. Nutterbutter
the prophetic squirrel who foretold the fall of Murray Energy. This evil coal mining company did it's best to ignore regulations and cut safety measures. Who would have believed that a squirrel could take them down? 

 Then there's Chiijohn, the love child between a Japanese otter mascot and a live action un-funny beaker with spiders for hands. He is so lucky he didn't inherit his fathers hands, and he is so vary happy about it. Look at that thing. It's an adorable nightmare come to life. 

Finally, showcasing just how
creative the last week tonight team can be, we have 'And Now... A Stamp'. I mean, who would have known it was a stamp if it hadn't told you?

Yes, these wonderful works of postage art are only available for the next four days. So get yours now. God bless the post office and let's all get through this together.

White Claw Hard Seltzer Natural Lime

White Claw Hard Seltzer Natural Lime is the best flavor of White Claw I have tried at this time. It's crisp and natural. I still can't get drunk off the stuff, but it tastes good.

Albert's Mexican Food #3 Enchiladas

Over at Albert's Mexican Food in La Puente, California this is what passes for an Enchilada. They are ready in about five minutes and, well, just don't taste cooked enough to me. They are full of cheese without onions and a fine thing to eat, but not as good as the super nachos. I really like those super nachos.

Dr. Teal's Pure Epson Salt Therapeutic Soak

There is no scientific evidence that Dr. Teal's Pure Epson Salt Therapeutic Soak works. Yet, I soak in the tub with this stuff all the time and my brother loves to soak his feet in it. It doesn't work great but it does work. I guess it works at least as well as normal salt would.

Luma Premium Soda Blood Orange Flavor

Luma Premium Soda Blood Orange Flavor looks so much better than it tastes. Tastes okay, and could use a shot of vodka. The elegance and wonderful color of this beverage draw me to it and the detergent aftertaste goes away as you keep drinking. 

I look at this stuff and think this is not the best flavor of Luma. I can see why Luma hasn't taken off.

Garden of Eatin' Multi Grain Sea Salt Tortilla Chips

Garden of Eatin' Multi Grain Sea Salt Tortilla Chips are okay. What can you say about a Tortilla Chip anyway? Yeah, if I had normal chips or these I would take these because they have more texture and fiber, but I don't know if I could make the distinction blindfolded.

Bella Rose Classic Selection Everyday Flavors

Bella Rose Classic Selection Everyday Flavors is a plate of cheese too small for sandwiches and not small enough for crackers. I had a good time with these cheeses but I'm not shore the selection is all that great. I mean, I wanted cheese for crackers to start with.  

In any case, if you're a normal person who wants cheese these are good for you, but I guess if you're a snob these are to everyday.
