INKSTAND

This sandwich was okay, which is good for 7 Eleven. The $3.99 price tag is about the same as any other place you can get a pre-made sandwich. I only intended to eat half and save the rest for later but ended up eating the whole thing. I guess that says something. The lettuce was green, not iceberg. That’s always a plus. As you can see from the picture the top part of the bread was really thick. I didn’t dig on that so much. I’d rather have had more roast beef. That might be greedy of me since it had roast beef, turkey AND ham on it. I will probably buy another one if I’m trying to decide on something at the 7 Eleven, just so I don’t have to take the 13 bus up the hill to Safeway.

I like Kit Kats a whole bunch but, like most candy bars, the variations on the flavor didn’t go over so well. Reese’s peanut butter cups seem to by trying a lot of combinations latley as well, putting dark chocolate, caramel, marshmallows, etc in their candy. The problem I have with the inclusion of caramel in these variations is that it’s too thin, like a gel toothpaste. If you like bombarding your mouth with refined sugar, you might like this one, along with the marshmallow Take 5 bar. I like the original Take 5 bar, I think the caramel is a little more solid in that one. The runny caramel reminds me of a Carmelo wich burned my throat the last time I had one.
What I really want to try is the Blood Orange flavor Kit Kat. I found that while looking for an image for this post. Check out this blog that had a rather long list of different and interesting Kit Kat flavors. The Kit Kat I had was one of those big ones, like the first image on that page. I also saw a berry flavored one they are selling in the UK. I’m jealous.

Man, this stuff is nasty. I had one the other day and it’s not as bad as I recall it being a few years ago, but it’s still gross. It’s like chocolate milk made with carob and then diluted with water. Water is actually the first ingredient. It also contains a number of other unsavory ingredients, including the dreaded High Fructose Corn Syrup. I think I’ll stick to chocolate milk, now that I know it’s not regular milk full of cow’s blood.

Have you ever had the Honey BBQ twisty Fritos? Take those, make them not twisty, make them stale, and only use about half the bbq flavoring. Voila! Sundance corn chips. You can get a bag of either for $0.99 and the Frito bag is 10oz, while the Sundance is 5oz.

I got some of these today at the Original Pancake House. Thay are what you’d imagine: chopped up bits of bacon cooked into the pancakes. When I spread rich creamery butter on them it felt so wrong, but that was quickly dismissed by the feeling of it being sooooo right! The problem was the way it was served. You get six pancakes, wich is a bit over the top, and no sides. They were tasty, but I could have done with three pancakes and some eggs and/or hash browns.

Today I went to Uwajimaya with a devilishly handsome man (or is he handsomely devilish?) and looked on in awe at all the asian products and produce that I had never seen before. It was decided that we needed to get a few things that we had no idea what they were. After some browsing Boy Bawang reared it’s hillariously named head. There was no question as to whether this should be purchased or not. We also got a bag of Ding Dong mixed nuts.

I opened up the bag when I got home and immediatley recognised the snack food as something closley related to CornNuts. However, these were garlic flavored and I don’t ever recall seeing a garlic flavored bag of CornNuts. Each peice is a bit smaller than a CornNut and not as hard or crunchy. The garlic flavoring is not too overbearing, either, although I’m sure it still lingers on the breath.
The Hello Boss coffee drink was very good. It was like…coffee in a can.

-Long
-Round
-Nutty
-Suprise at the end
-Close enough.

I don’t know why it’s called an adult energy drink. I though it was alcoholic at first (it’s not), wich was amusing because it had the Superman logo on it. I guess they just don’t want little kids drinking it because it’s incredibly bad for you, but has the Superman logo on it. God, marketing people can be stupid sometimes.
It tastes like all the others, it costs the same as all the others and odds are, it works just like all the others. Poorly. It’ll be hard to tell because I’m drinking it between two bottles of champaigne.

It was a big, cheap cut, but it had been marinating all day. It was good, even if it did set off the smoke alarm at a quarter to four am. It’s made my stomach feel a little better, but I’m sure I’ll still feel like shit when I wake up.

-Tasty!
-It’s as good as any other hummus in a tub, and the roasted garlic flavor adds flavorful character.
-I’ll be eating this spread on hamburger buns for lunch today.
-I don’t remember how much it was, but it wasn’t a bad price for a big 16oz tub.
