Made with real cane sugar – as it should be – now at Costco (at least here in Northern California). You get 24 BOTTLES (12 oz each) for about $18 + recycling deposit. Does it taste better? Oh yeah. Of course, Coke claims it tastes the same … why did they switch? Because corn syrup […]

You gotta love the packaging for this bag of Doritos from Japan. I guess if you eat these, you’ll feel like you just got kicked in the nads. Now that’s flavor!  I can’t read Kanji but does that say squid flavor?

Sure that ZINK inkless printing is nice – if those guys aren’t beaten to death accidentially with HP, Canon & Epson cartridges and left behind the alley of CARTRIDGE WORLD … on a more pleasant note, finally, the internet are like hands that reach across the ocean to pull you out of the doldrums and […]

So the makers of Jolt cola – you might remember it’s tagline “All the sugar, twice the caffeine” – have repackaged the old school drink and hope to snag the masses. It ain’t kiddin’ about its tagline either. Jolt has more than twice the caffeine as Mountain Dew which gives me a headache. The energy […]

According to the WSJ, Coca-Cola has finally had a successful line extension launch in many years – well 20 years to be exact (Diet Coke was launched 20 years ago). They have sold 100 million case units in the last 18 months. The last few times I tried to buy a 12-pack, most stores were […]

Okay, long day in meetings so all you get is a video of a python being beat with an oar after eating a capybara – and regurgitating it … (Headline says hippo so you get an idea of its size) So … Uh, Enjoy?

“The drink proven to burn calories – Enviga – hits the U.S. market” I’m too lazy to type or even copy the long-length claim from Coca-Cola so you can read the press release yourself. The drink contains calcium, caffeine, and green tea extracts (which apprently contains the calorie burning ingredient). I drank a can of […]

So I was waiting for my passport photos to be developed at Walgreen’s yesterday. While kicking it at the magazine rack (does Oprah have an insatiable ego or what?) I was trying to swallow paying out 10 bones for a copy of the Official U.S. Playstation magazine and another $5 for a copy of Men’s […]

As someone who will eat anything that screams NEW – I had to try out the Hostess 100-calorie pack cupcakes – the mini version. I had pretty low expectations and they even failed that. If you put a little frosting on an oreo, that’s pretty much the size of each one. You get three in […]
