Hershey's Harry Potter Butterbeer Kisses


 Hershey's Harry Potter Butterbeer Kisses tastes like butter scotch and are not chocolate. I'm not a fan of not chocolate things that pretend to be chocolate and I'm not really a fan of these. 

I'm mean, things are okay, but Hershey's chocolate kisses are magical.  If I had a choice of these or those it's the chocolate all the way. 

Give these to your house elf and get the real thing for your kids.

Chips Ahoy! Mystery Glitch Flavor

Really Chips Ahoy! what is this crap. Your Mystery Glitch Flavor is white chocolate vanilla and tastes vegan. If it were a vegan I would still make it shower first. 

These soft cookies lack the crisp of a real cookie and are soft like cake cookies without a strong finish. They aren't chewy either. I believe this is because they're made without eggs, and so not as cookie as they could be. 

I found these cookies to taste like they came out of a lab rather than a kitchen, and I wouldn't get them again.

Burger King Vampire's Bite Strawberry and Sprite


 Featuring a vampire in pajamas Burger King's Vampire's Bite Strawberry and Sprite is more than four hundred calories with that candy straw and the thing was stale and hard as a rock. 

I guess we stop counting the sugar in October. I mean, how do you go through Halloween without eating enough junk food to make you a ghost? 

Still, this just feels like a bad option. The sour straw was a fun touch I guess but for what I paid for this I just felt it wasn't great. 

In the end the straw was edible after I let it soak a bit and then I had a blood sugar spike, went into a coma, and died. I'm writing from the after life.

Ghoulish Green Snickers


 I have to admit that I love to try really good candy that just has a holiday wrapper. However, here we have Ghoulish Green Snickers which has green nougat. Green nougat in a bar so small that you would never see the nougat in the first place. 

I don't think we should change something that you can't really see and makes my food, and potentially other things, green.  

Look, I love Snickers and I'll try anything Snickers unless my blood sugar is too high.

These, however, I would rather have normal Snickers over these.

Pepperidge Farm Milano Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Pepperidge Farm Milano Pumpkin Spice Cookies remind of of pumpkin spice jelly beans. I don't know what pumpkin spice you folks use but mind has ginger and cloves in it so this is nothing like it. 

That is not to say that these things are bad. I mean, they taste fine, go well with coffee, and have that Milano crisp. I don't think much of them but I don't think much of Milano cookies to be honest. 

Milano cookies are fancy, I guess, but not as good as some more traditional cookies to me. 

If you like these kind of cookies then trying this flavor is a good idea. If your not a fan already this won't make you one.

Burger King Game Day Chicken Fries


 Burger King Game Day Chicken Fries are normal Burger King Chicken Fries only with Nacho Cheese Sauce and I don't care much for Nacho Cheese Sauce.

Further along those lines, the whole thing is so salty that it made my guts ache. I mean, it's fast food and that is to be expected but this out of the microwave tasting chicken really is low quality.  

I'd skip this and get the nuggets if I were you. They taste better.

Burger King Game Day Pretzel Burger


 The Burger King Game Day Pretzel Burger is a sandwich one is supposed to eat during football. You'll be picking those crisp onions out of your couch for months but at least you can say you had a good time. 

Coming with cheese, pickles, bacon, those onion things, and sauces without salad all on top of a Burger King patty this sandwich is salty. It's the kind of salty that needs to be followed up with a beer because a glass of water won't be enough. Most of you folks who eat this with a football game are drunk and alone at this point so that won't be a problem. 

Uber Eats, or whoever the meal service is now days, is going to love this one. 

Past all that, I will say the bun is a big improvement over the crap you normally get with this fast food royalty. Their buns normally turn to mush because of the food grade plastic and grease. This pretzel bun holds up a good deal better and is a lot more filling. 

I have to say there are things about this burger I could live without, but the bun is a thing I'd like to see stick around.  

Liquid Death Murder Mystery

Liquid Death Murder Mystery is the stuff that sounds so fun at your spooky party that you want to have it even if it isn't all that great. Their energy drink line has about as much crick as a cup of coffee but to be honest you can get stronger stuff for the same price. 

Murder Mystery is cherry flavored. I mean, they say there is some other stuff in there, but all I taste is cherry. It's okay, I mean, it works for what it is and I would be happy to finish off what I have.

I drink a lot of energy drinks so I'm always happy to have a few more light or heavy, but I can't say this will take the place of Monster in my life.

Jack in the Box Triple Krusty Burger

The Triple Krusty Burger at Jack in the Box is nothing to write home about. Just as no matter how many teeth you give Krusty he will never equal that real horror of fast food clowns. Hat's off to you Ronald. You've killed so many. 

Further, I can't even call this Simpsons inspired as this is just a cheeseburger. It's a cheeseburger with tomato, lettuce, and BBQ sauce, but still otherwise it's very average.  

So, this is Simpsons branded food that tastes normal and will make you smile if you're top cartoon family is orange. I left that kind of thing behind last century so it's not too big for me.

Kirk and Sweeney Burning Mast Rum


 Inspired by St. Elmo's Fire or Ball Lighting, Kirk and Sweeney Burning Mast Rum is a pepper infused rum that will clear you're nostrils. I can't say it would get you drunk but it will definitely wake you up and get you moving. 

The strong flavor of this rum will not go with everything but for those of you who like it hot it will oblige. I'm not going to say this is the best rum I've had, or that I think you'll like it, but this is a thing you should try at least once in your life.

Jack in the Box Double Krusty Burger of Terror

Ah, the Double Krusty Burger of Terror. As Krusty the Clown took over the Jack in the Box office and now puts out some of the lowest quality fast food you can keep down this is what their double burger looks like. I mean, it is a cheeseburger on the surface. It has a sesame seed bun, Spooky Simpsons Sauce, (ketchup), two slices of tomato, iceberg lettuce, American cheese, and what the say is 100% beef. Doesn't really taste like beef but I guess. 

Jack in the Crack has never been known for good food. I think it's kind of a bad knock off of McDonald's too be honest, and this is right in line with that idea. 

I found this to be small, salty, and of poor quality. In fact I was feeling the salt tingles the next morning.

Ghost Welch's Grape Energy Drink

Ghost Welch's Grape Energy Drink has so much flavor that it will haunt your water bottle for drink after drink once it's been in there. I mean, I honestly had one with a bottle of water mixed in because there was so much grape candy flavor. 

I think this stuff was made to cover the tasted of rot gut. I mean, there is enough flavor in there for you to fit a lot of vodka in and still not tastes it.

Don't do that, could be dangerous.

Jack in the Box Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror

In the Krusty the Clown takeover of Jack in the box, it would be a lot funnier if he took on Ronald, they have this Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror. They do not look to have a one patty version. In terms of mass these are bigger than the Double Krusty Burger because those things have almost no "meat". 

I'm not sure I would call what is on this meat to be dead honest, but it is chickenish more than the Krusty burger is beefy so I'm going to call it a good deal. I mean, it isn't bad, but it tastes like the chicken you'd get out of a microwave. 

These things are on the small and low quality side, but fine. I think they have too much salt but what doesn't now days?

Burger King Chicken Nuggets


 Burger King is currently wrestling with Wendy's for the number two spot in the fast food kingdom. As one of the battles in that war they have remade the chicken nuggets in an effort to make food that reminds you of food. I've had nuggets made of chicken so I have to admit these are, well, not that.

To be fair, I never had much interest in Burger King nuggets so I don't really recall what the old one tasted like. These new ones are a bit more like real chicken than say McNuggets. 

These are a bit darker than the Clown's version with a better crunch to them. I have to admit these are good nuggets. I'd get them again if it weren't for the fact that there are no Burger Kings where I live any more.

2026 Jack in the Box Monster Taco


 It's spooky season, Jack in the Box will roll out the monster tacos and here they are. It's just a taco that's bigger than there normal taco but this year it's got Homer on it to make you smile and he's the same color as the tacos so that makes me feel off for some reason. Homer skin tacos sound nasty. 

Anyway, same as they've always been. If you love um', you love um'.

Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies

Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies are best had hot. I don't know how you would make them hot because I had that experience after leaving them in a hot car on a September day in Southern California but they were totally killer hot. 

I found them to work well with coffee but were lackluster cold and dry. As far as pumpkin or pumpkin spice goes it's mostly the color and I would have never thought of cheesecake when eating them.

Truth is that there are better cookies out there and these are a low quality offering you would get for the holiday. They sound so much better than they are and are just so bad for you.

Jack in the Box Krusty Burger of Terror


 Oh, Jack in the Box, what did I do to deserve this? The Halloween idea for their burger is that Krusty the Clown from the Simpsons has taken over Jack in the Box and filled it with evil food. Here comes a Krusty Burger of Terror which come in three sizes with this being the small one. 

This thing comes with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, what is a very sad little patty, and Simpsons Spooky Sauce which I think is just ketchup. This is a simple little burger for those of you who aren't that hungry.

Can't say it's all that bad but there was so little of it I could hardly taste it. How did Krusty Burgers get so, um, bland.

7-Select Pumpkin Cheese Danish

On July fifth the Halloween candy rolls out and in short order the pumpkin spice. Then there are those things with pumpkin in the name but no spice which make me ask if they're made with the orange squash of have cinnamon in them.

Pumpkin spice is more than just cinnamon and I can not say if this 7-Select Pumpkin Cheese Danish has anything but a hint of that. 

It's not a bad danish. I love danish and would have them more often were I not the size of a bus. So, yes, this has a little more flavor than if it where just a cheese danish but only just. 

Throwing pumpkin in the name only leads to disappointment.

Baby Ruth


 How has it been so long that I have had this blog but not reviewed the Baby Ruth. I always thought it was named after Babe Ruth and frankly looks a bit like the bars this famous big eater would make. Thing looks like a lumpy, um, captains log. 

The official story is that it's named after Ruth Cleveland,  doughtier to Grover Cleveland who was called baby Ruth. Historians say this is not true and that the bar was named after the baseball player rather than the President's child who died young. they attribute the story to copyright issues. 

Anyway, the lesser known candy bar that looks like baseball player byproduct is similar to a Snickers Bar only a little smaller and with more salt to make the flavors pop. I don't know why they're not more popular. 

Maybe it's because they look like poop.
