THE WEEK IN REVIEWS – 2/6/2010

Written by | February 6, 2010

Topics: Candy, Carl's Jr, Cereal, Energy Drink, Taco Bell

Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.

There’s a cereal that tastes like cupcakes, which I believe justifies all those times I ate actual cupcakes for breakfast. (via We Rate Stuff)

Japan has a Corn Kit Kat. I wonder if, just like eating actual corn, it comes out looking the same way it went in. (via Jen Ken’s Kit Kat Blog)

A grown man reviews the Easy Bake Oven. It sounds pedophile-ish, but I should admit I’d review it too if I got my hands on one. (via Everyview)

I wonder what the packaging would look like if the product was called Thorntons Lovebirds XXX. (via Jim’s Chocolate Mission)

Carl’s Jr. combined a grilled cheese sandwich with a burger, and called it a Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger. Or as it’s more commonly known — a cheeseburger. (via Junk Food Betty)

Rockstar now has an energy cola and an energy lemonade to help us “Party Like A Rockstar.” But I wonder if they’ll ever create a beverage to help us deal with STDs or become a one-hit wonder like a rockstar. (via ED Junkie)

Mexicans or Philadelphians? Who do you think should be more upset with the Taco Bell Mexican Cheesesteak? Or should the only things that get upset are the stomachs of those who ate the Taco Bell Mexican Cheesesteak. (via Would I Buy This Again)

THE WEEK IN REVIEWS – 12/19/2009

Written by | December 19, 2009

Topics: Coffee, Energy Drink, McDonald's, Soda

Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.

James Cameron’s Avatar will probably make a billion dollars. But what’s even more impressive is that it doesn’t have a Celine Dion love song that will be played ad nauseam on radio stations. (via Pajiba)

If you think a sandwich Frankensteined together using a Big Mac, Filet O Fish, McChicken and Egg & Sausage McMuffin looks scary, imagine a McDonaldland character with Ronald McDonald’s head, Grimace’s body, Mayor McCheese’s arms, Birdie the Early Bird’s legs and the Hamburglar’s voice. (via Eating the Road)

I will state the obvious. A beverage that comes out of a worm’s butt will taste like something that comes out of a worm’s butt. (via Everyview)

A coffee called Wake the Fuck Up doesn’t really sound like an effective coffee. Do you know what would be? Punch to the Face Coffee or Replace Your Alarm Clock With A Growling Lion Without a Snooze Button Coffee. (via Energy Fiend and Possessed by Caffeine)

Never mind the fact that there are only six more shopping days left until Christmas. More importantly, there are only a few more days left for you to enjoy IHOP’s Holiday Hotcakes. (via We Rate Stuff)

WIBIA reviewed five chili dogs. (via Would I Buy It Again)

When I think of “Hot Lips,” soda doesn’t come to mind. Two acronyms do — M*A*S*H and S.T.D. (via The Soda Jerks)

THE WEEK IN REVIEWS – 12/12/2009

Topics: Candy, Cheetos, Chips, Energy Drink, McDonald's

Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.

The Cheetos Giant White Cheddar Snowballs have a yellow hue. They will now be known as Cheetos Pee. (via X-Entertainment)

Never mind that the Euro is stronger than the US dollar. While the US has a 100 Grand Bar, the UK has candy worth much more. (via Chocolate Mission)

Can’t afford real lobster? Then purchase one of the least expensive lobster flavored products on the planet. (via Dave’s Cupboard)

A creme brulee chocolate bar that doesn’t taste like creme brulee or burnt sugar. Would a blowtorch to it help? (via Foodstuff Finds)

Yes, the two fruits I imagine when I think of “xtreme” are strawberry and guava. (via Screaming Energy)

No words can describe how I feel about a Big Mac Snack Wrap. (via Grub Grade)

REVIEW: Go Girl Bliss Energy Drink

Written by | November 3, 2009

Topics: 8 Rating, Beverage, Energy Drink

Is there anything inappropriate about a man wearing a woman’s deodorant? Smelling “powder fresh” might not be the optimal scent for a man, but the sour smell from going au naturel is even less so.

Is there anything wrong with a man using menstrual cramp reliever Midol to help ease the pain of being kicked in the balls? After all, it’s a great medicine that specializes in lower region pain.

If a man can do those things, then there shouldn’t be anything wrong with my manly self drinking the Go Girl Bliss Energy Drink…or putting on a tight leather dress, stiletto heels, a black wig, makeup, shaving my entire body, going out to pick up rich Asian business men in Waikiki, charging them $1,000 an hour to strap them in a hanging restraint harness while I whip their half naked bodies or making them pay $750 an hour to pin them to the floor and gingerly dance on their bodies with my stilettos on.

Go Girl Bliss is the third energy drink from Go Girl’s estrogen-friendly line, which consists of the original Go Girl Energy Drink and the complexion-helping Go Girl Glo. Just like the first two, it also contains an ingredient Go Girl calls Super Citrimax, which is a mild herbal appetite suppressant.

Out of the three Go Girl flavors, I have to say Go Girl Bliss is by far my favorite. It has a pleasant peach scent and a nice balance of peach and tea flavor. The Yerba Maté tea leaves in the beverage also provide the caffeine, which, along with the added taurine, gave me a decent energy kick. The peach flavor comes from peach juice concentrate, but it tastes kind of artificial.

It’s sweetened using organic agave syrup, but it also contains Sucralose, which gives the non-carbonated Go Girl Bliss a slight artificial sweetener aftertaste. However, I highly recommend drinking it cold because if it warms up, the artificial sweetener aftertaste gets worse.

The 35-calorie Go Girl Bliss Energy Drink is tasty enough that I see myself purchasing more in the future. Now you may think a manly man like myself would be embarrassed to purchase women’s energy drinks, but I am not. Of course, that’s only because when I purchase any of the Go Girl Energy Drinks, I throw in a box of tampons, so instead of looking like a weird male who enjoys women’s energy drinks, I look like a chivalrous man picking up items for his cramping and menstruating woman.

Unfortunately, I now have several unopened boxes of tampons, which I could either giveaway or, if I feel like rioting, use them as wicks for Moltov cocktails.

(Nutrition Facts – 1 can – 35 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of protein, 8 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of sugar, 30 milligrams of sodium, 40% riboflavin, 125% vitamin B6, 25% pantothenic acid, 50% niacin, 40% vitamin B12, 5% magnesium. It also contains 400 milligrams of taurine, 100 milligrams of garcinia cambogia, 50 milligrams of inositol and 65 milligrams of caffeine.)

Item: Go Girl Bliss Energy Drink
Price: $1.50 (on sale)
Size: 11.5 ounces
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Nice peach tea flavor. Uses organic agave syrup to help sweeten it. Provides a decent energy kick. Only 35 calories. No strong artificial sweetener aftertaste, unless you drink it warm. A portion of the proceeds are donated to breast cancer research.
Cons: Peach flavor tastes kind of artificial, despite using peach juice concentrate. Hard to determine if Super Citrimax is effective as a mild herbal appetite suppressant. Having to slip into a tight leather dress. Trying to find other uses for tampons.

Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.

Seriously, Mountain Dew? Is this purple soda your way of teasing us Mountain Dew Pitch Black lovers? Just bring it back already. Please. Pretty please. Pretty please with high fructose corn syrup on top. (via BevReview)

I have one of these in my fridge. It’s been sitting in there for over six months. I hope it gets better with time. (via ED Junkie)

Chocolate shaped like Lego? I know how to stop the big bad wolf from blowing down my house. Instead of blowing it down, he’ll eat the chocolate, then get sick from it and then I’ll blow him away with Lady Gaga blasting from huge ass speakers. (via Candy Blog)

With the number of meals Lean Cuisine introduces every year, mathematically, they eventually had to combine bacon with alfredo. (via Yum Yucky)

Something named Jungle Joose that tastes bad? Doesn’t all jungle juice taste bad? (via Possessed by Caffeine)
