Colon Flavor? Ew

So we got Kool Aid, Flavor Aid, lemonade, cherryade and so on. Now we have Colonaide.  Now usually the first part of the name denotes the flavor or at least a clue of what it will taste like.

After a closer look at this package we noticed that nothing states the flavor. So it must be colon flavored, right? Perhaps. Maybe they chose the name because it help out your colon. I mean Gatorade doesn’t really taste like an alligator does it? I guess it’s better than jumping on the 3D bandwagon.

Its just an odd choice for the product name. Also this is now on clearance at the drug store so we were not the only one to look at and said “ew”.

So tell us, does the name of odd drinks help you understand the flavor?

Melty Club?

The menu item we picked was called a turkey club melt. What was in it you ask? well there was carved turkey, bacon, melty cheese and some kinda dressing. We’re thinking it was 1k island.

On the side we had a pickle and fries. The bread was toasted but there was NO THIRD PIECE OF BREAD. However there was a toothpick. Though the toothpick wasn’t doing much. In a true club you need the toothpick to keep the sandwich together because this was a turkey melt “club” the cheese held it together.

So we ask you is this a club?

There, Now It’s A Club

The club sandwich discussion continues. Lets take a look at the ever so popular Big Mac. We all know that it has two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

In that little jiggle they’ve seemed to leave out that it has three pieces of bread, which is a key feature in the club sandwich. Now we realize that there is no bacon on the Big Mac. What’s not stopping you to ask to through some bacon on there? Maybe the .50? Either way you can get some tasty bacon on it.

Ok so you got your Big Mac with bacon. Now bring it home. Grab your knife. Cut it into forths. BAM! Now it’s a club sandwich.

Are we right?

We seem to think so.

Discuss.

Lost List Number 3

Well, here we go again. One of our bloggers was shopping at the store, grabbed a shopping basket and stumbled upon a lost list. First things first lets break it down.

• Non clorine bleach
• laundry detergent
• poligrip
• fruit cups
• pily cheese
• pies
• chocolate MY
• 4 baking soda
• 2 baked beans
• Kleenex
• eggs
• cereal
• assorted pies?

Now spelling aside, this is interesting. It would seem there’s going to be some cleaning and cooking happening. Again this is a bit vague, so let pretend that this list was given to us and we are off shopping. In the meantime we’ll think of what all these items will be used for.

Non chlorine bleach and laundry detergent, well thats simple, they’re getting a jug of clorox 2 and some name brand detergent.

Poligrip. Thats for dentures. This must be an elderly person or an unfortunate younger person. However there is about 6 different varieties of this product. So we’ll grab the most expensive. You don’t want to skimp out on your teeth.

Fruit cups. We’ll assume (and yes we want to make an ass out of you) they want mixed fruit. A six pack will do.

Pily cheese or Philly cheese. Again this a bit vague. Do they want a brick, a tub, whipped, chives, strawberry? There’s just to many options. In fact there’s about 4 feet of this crap. This list looks like they will be doing some baking so we’ll grab they regular brick of regular philly cheese.

Pies. We love pie. Up at the top of the list we saw “assorted pies” then Pies again at the bottom. Since it is plural we are going to grab one of each pie that we see.

Chololate MY.  This doesn’t make sense. We’re grabbing a regular Hershey bar at the check out.

4 Baking soda. I do hope they are on sale and they are stocking up. Unless this person has multiple refrigerators. Unless they are using it in some large recipe.

2 baked beans. We asked around the market. Unfortunately these beans come in cans and no one knew how many beans are in the cans. We do know that each can does have at least 2 beans in them. One can it is.

Kleenex. Simple enough.

Cereal. They clear state that they do not want cheerios. We did notice the Oh after that. So lets grab some Oh’s, those are good.

Eggs. One dozen it is.

Ok what could all these Items have in common?

Perhaps they are making some kind of cheesy chocolate bean dip to go on pies. They know it will be a messy task so they are planning ahead with the detergents.

Would you have shopped differently?

Let us know!

 

 

Lost List #2

Oh we found another lonely shopping list this week in a basket

Each time we find these list we like to imagine that the list was given to us and we are to go out and shop with no other information except for the list. This is where we let our imaginations wonder.

First things first lets break it down

• Figs
• Milk
• Cake
• #7-5-9
• yogurt + ice – cream

Figs.  We enjoy figs, in fact we do have a delicious recipe for figs on the grill. Now there’s no specific number of poundage of figs so we’ll pick a pound of figs.

Milk. Then there’s some milk but how much milk? A gallon? A pint? Perhaps just a single serving. Have you seen the selection these days at the market? It’s a whole damn aisle. We don’t know the person very well, in fact we don’t know them at all so we now have to pick out some milk..If it were a flavored milk it probably would have been specified. With that in mind we going with the whole milk. As far as size, They’re getting a gallon and we are not going cheap. Grab that light blocking carton because that damn fridge light is always on…

Cake. Well, there’s just to many option now. In fact just thinking of what to grab hurt our heads. It could be crab cake, angel food cake, red velvet cake or even this little cake that mom use to pack into our lunches. The list could go on. I guess they getting a very small coffee cake from the checkout.

#7-5-9 Well this has to be lottery number to get. That’s the only thing that comes to mind. Hopefully the market sells lottery tickets that only have 3 numbers…

Yogurt + ice – cream. Or is it yogurt + ice = cream? If so they should have check their math. Maybe it means yogurt, ice and cream. They already had milk on the list. I would think if they wanted cream it would have been up at the top near milk. With that in mind we’re picking up a tub of plain yogurt and a some coffee ice cream.

Well, how do you think we did?

Would you have done anything differently here?

What could those number represented?

Mr. Pibb VS Dr. Pepper

Are you a pepper or a pibb? Just recently Mr. Pibb has made his way to the northeast area. We have never seen it before in these parts. After our first sampling we noticed a similarity to the good doctor.

It’s hard for us to decide seeing that Mr. Pibb is kind of new to us. So we ask you the people to be the judge tell us you who think is the winner!

Double Dogs!

So Have you ever opened a pack of hot dog buns and found a mutant roll? Most people will just preform an operation to create one roll. Whats the fun in that? if you plan on eating two hot dogs why not make it interesting? Plus you save eating time as well.

The Candy Bar Line Up Part II

Welcome back to the candy bar line up! This time we take a look at plain ole chocolate bars. We have been wanting to find a Nestle bar for some time now, never would have though to check to dollar store.

Hershey has a strong rep here. The fact that is comes in my varieties helps it win. (kisses, minis etc) As far as Nestle, well the chocolate is a part of our favorite bars like Chunky and Baby Ruth.

When opening the bars I noticed that the Nestle bar seemed thinner but the large Nestle logo looks much better than the Hershey titled logo. The Nestle bar is one piece unlike the scored Hershey making the Nestle bar a bit of a mess to eat when breaking off a piece. This also tells me something.

Hershey = share   Nestle = MINE!

The Hershey is definitely the winner. Sadly the Nestle bar didn’t have the smoothness or sweetness that the Hershey is known for. The Hershey weighing in at 1.55oz and the Nestle at 1.45oz  it doesn’t seem like a big difference But the Nestle felt and appeared thiner. When biting in it cracked up and flaked.

So the winner this time is Hershey. Nestle we love the Chunky bar but by itself the chocolate is weak.

 

Not A Club?

Here we have a sandwich from Denny’s. The call it The Super Bird. It’s made up of thinly sliced turkey breast with melted Swiss cheese, crisp bacon and tomato on grilled sourdough. From what I have asked from friends a common answer of what makes a club sandwich true to it’s name is the bacon. Others claim it’s the sliced turkey. With that said, why isn’t this called a club sandwich?

Quick Poll For Everyone

It’s an old argument I have had with some friends. So I want to know what the people think.

I will post again at a later date with the results.
