A Taste of New York Chips from Western New York
It’s been some time since I posted and while I’ve thought of a number of different things I wanted to write about I haven’t found a lot of time to do so. I recently bought a house, moved back from California, started working on a startup, and in my spare time I’ve learned to code. Needless…

Toss Your Soylent Snack Bars
So remember when I reviewed Soylent 2.0 and talked about the companies energy bars? As it turns out you might not want to eat those after all. The company has vaulted production of the bars and has told anyone who still has some to throw them out. Customers around the country have been complaining of gastrointestinal…

The Most Detailed Review of Soylent 2.0 in Existence
Last week I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in awhile. We decided to get lunch and reminisce. While we were eating one of the things he mentioned was that this was the first solid meal he had eaten in days. I was a bit shocked, but he went on to explain that he…

SO Delicious Coconut Chocolate Mint Milk for the Holidays
I don’t have (much) of a problem with milk, but I couldn’t resist picking this holiday coconut milk up in the stores this month. Heck, I grew up in dairy farmer country. I’m all for milk, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try something new now and then. I’ve been drinking this stuff like a…

Wine Ice Cream in NY
You may have had wine ice cream before, but what you might not know is a little ice cream shop in Central NY had to fight so that you could! In fact, to my knowledge, this is the only place that makes wine ice cream. It gets shipped across the globe! I had had it…

Alternative Jelly Beans
Yes, I’m a grown-ass adult who still gets an Easter basket. You’re clearly just jealous. Anyway this year the Easter bunny left a number of different types of jelly beans but one stood out as clearly the best. Have you ever had a nerds rope? They taste amazing! It’s chewy and crunchy and just the…
