Buy: Mr. Pibb

Mr. Pibb is a soft drink. I happen to love Mr. Pibb. It’s probably my favorite soda ever.
However, Mr. Pibb is now know as Pibb Xtra as demonstrated here:
So what ever happened to Mr. Pibb?
I have some soda fan fiction to answer this question…
In a small town in Texas, known to the locals as Waco [...]

Buy: Food Friendzy

One of the main problems with Facebook’s actual usefulness as a promotional tool is that most of its applications are really annoying. Yes, I thought it was adorable when my study abroad friend sent me virtual smažený sýr through the Czech Food app, but now it’s merely irritating when every other day I’m notified [...]

Buy: The Pop Rocks Urban Legend

Little Mikey’s disappearance caused the candy to be discontinued in 1980. Most people laughed it off, what a quirky joke.
But let me tell you something: Little Mikey? He was my stepbrother. My stepbrother.
And now he’s dead.

Buy: Top Chef’s Hosea

As another fan of Top Chef on Bravo, I can safely say: eat it Alli. Eat the delicious meal that Hosea prepared. Cause that shit looked amazing.
Hosea was one of my favorites through out the show (my favorite being Fabio). This was not a goatee, morality, or bitching contest, it’s a cooking contest. Hosea made [...]

Don’t Buy: Top Chef’s Hosea

As a loyal fan of Bravo’s Top Chef, I’m equal parts psyched for next week’s finale and bummed that it’s already at an end. The final three chefs are Carla, an awesomely emu-like Washingtonian who makes all her food with love; Stefan, a Finnish badass who can skin an eel like he’s peeling a [...]

Don’t Buy: Milk on Layaway

So milk spoils pretty fast, I guess.

Don’t Buy: Eating Your Sandwich at 10:36

Sigh.

Buy: McDonalds in Bad Times

I love McDonalds. And I’m happy they are doing well in these rough times. Everyone knows when you can’t afford groceries or special organic food, McDonald’s is the cost-effective way to fill up.  In fact, they are doing so well, they have just opened 1,000 stores. How’d they make more money this year than last [...]

Don’t Buy: Hating on the Inauguration Uninterested

So, Obama has been President-Elect for a while now. Bush has been on his way out for a while. And… so…?
On Tuesday, Obama will become President. Haven’t we already decided that? So what’s so OMG about it? He already has the job. I don’t get it. There. Now you know my position on it. I’m [...]
