Would you drink candy corn flavored beer?
October 12th, 2018 under Junk Food, Odd. [ Comments: none ]


While I am not a fan of beer, I do like apple cider and pumpkin spiced beer. When it comes to Halloween candy, I love it all…but candy corn. I do not know anyone who likes it.

That is me, it is not Westallion Brewing Company in West Allis, Wisconsin. The brewery has a new flavor on tap and it is candy corn flavored beer. They describe it as, “We created a cream ale using lactose sugars to keep some sweetness, but added Simcoe hops to create a bit of a bite and a balance (and maybe help remind us that it’s still beer?). Instead of smashing up some candy corns and throwing them in our beer, we made our own candy corn out of less beer destructive ingredients and threw them into our beer!”

Is it wrong of me, but I so want to try it. It sounds weird enough to be delicious?

BTW did you know candy corn is created by the company now known as Jelly Belly? Before they were known by their name, they were called chicken feed. Which it totally looks like when you think about it. Thank you to the Westallion Brewing Company for sharing that sweet piece of information.

Would you eat Wasabi or Hot Chicken Wing flavored Oreos?
August 29th, 2018 under Fast Food, Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]


There have been a lot of strange Oreo flavors over the last few years and China is getting the weirdest ones of them all. According to Mondelēz Intl, they released Wasabi and Hot Chicken Wing flavored Oreo.

I just do not see either cream going with the chocolate cookie. Yet, I want to try them so badly.

Too bad Trump has created a trade war with China for no reason. Otherwise, America would be able to import them. I am sure I am not the only one who wants to try those spicy cookies.

Would you eat a Dirty Dishwater or Stink Bug flavored Jelly Belly?
August 13th, 2018 under Junk Food, Odd. [ Comments: none ]


Jelly Belly has two new flavors for their fifth edition of BeanBoozled. They are Dirty Dishwater and Stink Bug. Who would want to eat those? Well, you won’t know you are eating them, because they look like Birthday Cake and Toasted Marshmallow, respectively. Therefore, you think you think you are eating the sweet flavor, but you are actually eating ones that make you want to hurl.

On that note, that is one of the old flavors from BeanBoozled. The 20 flavors in this edition are Barf, Berry Blue, Birthday Cake, Booger, Buttered Popcorn, Canned Dog Food, Chocolate Pudding, Coconut, Dead Fish, Dirty Dishwater, Juicy Pear, Peach, Rotten Egg, Stinky Socks, Spoiled Milk, Stink Bug, Strawberry Banana Smoothie, Toasted Marshmallow, Toothpaste and Tutti-Fruitti.

As nasty as they sound, I want to try every one of them. Just to see what they taste like. Then, after I had one of each, I will put them all in a bowl and give it to my friends. But I won’t tell them about the yucky flavors, I will just let them think they are all the yummy ones. Is that wrong?

If you are not evil like me, then you can add BeanBoozled to your game night. For just $13.99, you can buy the game that comes with two packs of the jellybeans and a spinner. Imagine how much fun it will be to play after a few drinks? Maybe not because one or more of those flavors will make them want to barf! Most likely the one that tastes like barf!

How can we have Valentine’s Day without candy Sweethearts?
July 26th, 2018 under Junk Food, Uncategorized. [ Comments: none ]


Remember when you were a kid and every Valentine’s Day, you looked forward to someone giving you a box of candy Sweethearts. You could not wait to see what was written on those little hearts. You actually enjoyed eating them even though they tasted disgusting.

Why am I telling you all of this? Well Necco the company that makes those Sweethearts, Neeco Wafers, Mary Jane, Clark chocolate bar and so many of the other candies we love, abruptly closed down their factory in Boston on Tuesday. The Boston Globe says that the company filed for bankruptcy in May and were bought by another company who bought and sold them. It looks like the new owners deiced to pull the plug on the them and now we do not know if they will ever reopen.

Since we do not know who the new owners are, we cannot petition them to reopen. I mean, how do we have, Valentine’s Day and Halloween without them? It just won’t be as sweet. There has to be a way to tell them we need our Necco candy! Save the Sweethearts.

Oreo is debuting 3 new flavors in May
December 13th, 2017 under Fast Food, Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]


I don’t know about you but every time Oreo adds a new flavor, I have to try it out. Except for the Mystery Flavor (aka Fruity Pebbles) and Caramel Apple, they have all been pretty gross. Since most of them have been duds, Nabisco decided to ask their fans to tell them what flavors they want and in May we will get to taste them. According to Today, it will be Cherry Cola Oreos, Kettle Corn Oreos, and Pina Colada Oreo Thins. Yes, I will try all three, but I think the only one that won’t be thrown out after one cookie will be Cherry Cola. What do you think of those three limited edition flavors?
