Chester’s Chips BBQ

It’s not easy being cheesy and Chester Cheetah has taken a brake to make these BBQ things. I can’t call them chips because they are not sliced from a potato. These are okay but I would never get them again.

They feel kind of odd in the mouth because of how they’re made so it could be a matter of getting used to them. I don’t need to get used to this kind of food.

Jarritos Soda Mandarin

Mandarin Soda by Jarritos has a bitter flavor compared to say a naval orange. I found it be acidic with a real fruit like flavor. It wasn’t just like drinking a mandarin and wasn’t made for us American sugar lovers.

I have to say this was into resting and it would go very well with vodka. I don’t know about tequila but I think it is robust enough for vodka or even whisky.

Christy's Donuts Chocolet Chip Bar

Over at Christy's Donuts in Hacienda Heights you can get this thing which I believe is a chocolate chip bar. The staff there doesn't speak enough English to tell you the real name and there is no website with a clear menu that I could find.

 I will say that my time at Christy's Donuts was punctuated by a number of women in tight pants and the butts made it a better experience.

As for the doughnut, well, it was okay. I can't say it was wonderful but it was okay. I would have liked the chips to be more spread out, but how much do I expect from a doughnut?

Burger King Moca Iced Coffee with Cold Foam

Burger King Moca Iced Coffee with Cold Foam is not all that much better with cold foam. The coffee part I like. I mean, it tastes like coffee. I love coffee so coffee that tastes like coffee as opposed to coffee that tastes like chocolate milk is a good thing.

 As for that cold foam on top, just makes it taste less like coffee.

Frosting Devil's Food Vodka

Frosting Devil's Food Vodka is a strong spirit that should never be taken as a shot. I mean, as a shot this stuff is harsh and foul. With orange soda you have a cocktail that will impress your holiday guests but I'm told this stuff is what hangovers are made of. 

I use this to make chocolate orange cocktails and they would be better garnished with a chocolate orange slice but they are amazing. 

Frosting Devil's Food Vodka is a drink in moderation sort of thing but it will really get people talking at a party.

Chuckanut Bay Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake

 I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this Chuckanut Bay Plant Based Raspberry Cheesecake but I can say it’s not as good as the real thing. I mean, it is good, not like great, but it is good enough to be a fair substitute for cheesecake if you just got to have it and can deal with a product that is not as smooth rich or tart. I would even say that to some this may be better than cheesecake, but I would also say that even the crust wasn’t as good as a normal cheesecake crust.

It was a dark shadow of the real thing but close enough to get the job done.

McDonald's Chips Ahoy Frappe


The McDonald’s Chips Ahoy Frappe is okay. It has a cookie crumble on top. It has a cookie flavor about it so I will say that if you want something cold, coffee, and cookie then this is a fine thing to get. I will admit that it’s just too much sugar for me. I would drink this all the time if I weren’t a big fat dude who can’t have too much sugar.

McDonald’s Strawberry Shake

They don’t make um like they used too, but I can’t say that it’s a bad thing in this case because the old way was a food grade polymer that is the same thing the used as the blood of  the Xenomorphs from Aliens.

Anyway, this McDonald’s Strawberry Shake tastes like strawberry candy. I grant that you don’t get the same joy of dipping your French fries in this the way I did as a kid because the thinner shake doesn’t get on the fries as much.

Oscar Myer Chicken, Beef, Pork Baloney

Oscar Myer Baloney was my go to lunch meat as a kid. I don’t know if it was this everything but the farm’s dog kind, and this doesn’t taste right to me so I don’t think it was. I couldn’t say what kind I got back then because my mom had passed an the old man would just take me to the store to buy what I wanted.

This has less flavor than the Baloney I had as a kid, but I did have that with white bread that had almost no flavor to go with it at the time.

Truth be told, I guess one should have low expectations of baloney. It’s the food of the poor to start with in a country where even the poor can have meat. Makes me remember how lucky I am and how ugly the world can be.
