AwesomeMillion.com is Really Awesome

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

Okay. So a friend of mine and a friend of his created a web site called AwesomeMillion.com.

You can certify yourself, someone else, somewhere else, or something else as awesome on a subdomain like Andrea Bocelli’s (whoever that is) page.

My immediate instinct was to see if I could slip Hitler through, in blatant violation of […]

A Placed Called Heaven

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Ok, so I bought this pass from Continental Airlines called the “Privilege Pack.” It was like $125 or something. It came with maybe 7,000 miles, a $99 companion ticket (why I bought it), a coupon for airfare, and rental car coupons, which make great pieces of toilet paper.

My favorite part of this book was 2 […]

Um, corn syrup is NOT “the best stuff on earth”

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

I admit Snapple is not bad-tasting, but how they get away with calling sugary, fruit-flavored tea “the best stuff on earth”, as if it is: 1) unusual and 2) high quality, is beyond me. Can’t you just say it tastes good? Anything that has corn syrup as the second ingredient […]

Vanilla Brey’
(or…Ice cream manufacturers, you fickle little whores!)

Friday, July 14th, 2006

Whatever happened to “vanilla bean”? Remember, not too many years ago, when ice cream makers discovered that adding actual vanilla bean to ice cream made it taste…oh, what was that word again…FAN-FRUCKING-TASTIC? Remember that? What happened?
Even Paul Newman’s “Mean Vanilla Bean” is long gone from store shelves. […]

Import Specialists in PA - Not Recommended

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

Recently, I had a negative car-buying experience I’d like to share.

My girlfriend wanted to buy a car. Online, she found a listing from a company called Import Specialists in Fairless Hills, PA. I guess there’s one in Burlington, NJ, as well. See here.
Anyhow, she finds a used Honda Civic, the VP “Value Priced” package. The […]

Whole Foods, half a website

Monday, March 27th, 2006

WHOLE FOODS, of all companies, couldn’t afford a fully-functioning website??? Just try their “Store Locator”. Can you type in a zip code and find the nearest store? No. The best you can do is pick your state out of an infinite drop-down box and get a list of every […]

My little cannellini - where have you bean all my life?

David DeAngelo’s DoubleYourDating - Product Review

Friday, February 24th, 2006

I have cross listed this as a product and a book because, well, it is an e-book. For reference, you can buy DoubleYourDating products here.

Somehow or other, this guy, David DeAngelo, got stuck in my head over the course of a couple years, like a smaller actor you recognize in different movies. (Note for searchers, […]

Get your microbes on with Lifeway probiotic Kefir

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

So I got suckered into buying a strawberry kefir by some company called Lifeway, which I’m really not familiar with. But the bottle wrapping was fancy enough to turn me on and here I am, 12 shots later, my stomach presumably overrun with beneficial lifeforms.
I don’t really know how to judge the effects of […]

Health Valley Spicy Black Bean Chili - BLAH!

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

How did Health Valley make a canned, spicy black bean (fat free vegetarian, etc, etc.) chili this bad? It is amazingly tasteless. No, actually, I think I’ve identified the dominant flavor…1000-year-old canned kidney beans.
This product has 13 grams of protien, 12 grams of fiber, and only 7 grams of sugar. Unfortunately, it […]
