Review # 287: Chaser Plus
Monday, May 11th, 2009
I always wanted to try these. My friend Josh tried them years ago but he was already drunk, and you’re supposed to take the pill with your first drink. After I bought these recently I tried them but then didn’t drink enough to get a hangover anyway. This weekend i think was a real test. Now I had more than one or two drinks when I took two pills, but I’m sure that was fine. I had more drinks and later took two more pills. The instructions say to take two every 4 to 6 drinks.
How did it work? Was I hungover? Yes and yes. I still had some hangover symptoms…nausea mostly, low energy. But I really feel that I would have been feeling much worse if I hadn’t taken the Chaser. Between that, a bong hit, and a few Mother’s Day pancakes from Jeremy, I was prepared to coast through a mind-numbingly slow work day.
When KC first told me about this I wasn’t sure if it was a drink or not. Honestly, I hoped it was. But alas it was still a candy bar and it tasted just like a Butterfinger. Shortly after eating it my stomach didn’t feel so hot but later in the day I was feeling pretty good. That could have been the caffeine from the candy, but I can’t confirm that. Odds are if you want a Butterfinger bar you’d like a boost of energy as well so I’d just say go for it.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Crackers - Much like Better Cheddar crackers but in a long crescent shape like macaroni.
I’m not a huge jerky fan, it’s too tough for my taste. I like it when it’s all soft and moist, almost to the point where it’s no longer considered jerky. Nonetheless, I had to try
The size of these mini bags is perfect. The usual size of microwave pop-corn bags is way too big for one person. I assumed that with the “natural” theme of the product the butter and salt aspects would be played down. I was right and that’s fine with me since most microwave pop-corns are way too buttery. What I did not expect was just how much they over compensated for it with the pepper! Holy Cow! I thought “Gosh, this is spicy,” but, since it’s pop-corn, I kept munching on it. Naturally. All the while my mouth was all a-tingle with pepper. It was way too much. I will finish the other three bags of the four pack of course, but I might choose a different flavor if I ever buy these mini bags again.
Tropicana orange juice has recently started using a new design including the popular, plain, sans-serif font that many other brands like Quaker Instant Oatmeal have been using lately. It gives the package a more modern look, and the incorporation of the juice glass is subtle and well done.
This holiday season we went through a lot of appetizers. Jeremy, after weeks of vigil, was finally able to purchase Pillsbury’s
