Consumer Product Report (again):

Here is me, helping you consumer types out there with my own brand of unsolicted advice.

This week I tasted Diet Mountain Dew Code Red. I'm not really drinking caffeinated sodas anymore so I just had a sip. And a good thing too. This had a totally rank aftertaste that made it seems as though i were washing down some sand with my soda. Gross. H likes it though, so go figure. Myself, I'd rather drink cold Evian than pretty much anything else. Although my favorite soda of all time is this one : the most delicious soda I have ever tasted. I drank it every day for almost 2 years and never got sick of it.

Next up are these yummy Champagne and Strawberry candies H got from WizzyWig. these I can sum up in just one letter repeated several times: Mmmmmmmm. They taste kind of fizzy, but are not. Like most asian candies, they are bite-sized and not too sweet. I advise that you not chew these though as the taffy-like center is stickier than the stickiest thing you can think of.

Moving on, I know it is a little late for this, but a few of you local types wanted to know where I thought the best place to go for Paczki's is. And I'll tell you: it's Dom's Bakery on Washtenaw in Ypsilanti. You will recognize this place by it's giant sign, it's closeness to the Lover's Lane store, and the one or more cop cars that always seem to be parked outside. Sadly though, they know they are the best bakery in Ypsi, and as such, [profile] pak_man78 ended up paying $9 for a dozen assorted Paczki's. Myself, I like the bavarian creme or the custard.

This week, H tried Peanut Butter Toast Crunch Cereal. I must tell you that it's very tasty. Cinammon Toast Crunch is one of our fave cereals as it has a good shape, good crunchiness and makes the milk taste sweet and delicious. Expect a similar experince from this new variation, with a bit less powder falling off into the milk.

Lastly, for you consumers who just love cute things to consume: Consume yourself (or your sweetie) one or more of these before they are gone!!!

This has been me, [personal profile] wednes, for Consumer Product Watch.

That's an AWESOME cereal! It's like candy it is!

Oh and also, Pet Sematary rocks. Nasty and scary (and only a little bit silly).

I agree totally about Pet Sematary. It's disturbing and ugly with some very real horror. Very underrated by serious horror fans and i don't know why.

I have to find that soda! I loooove all things lemon!

I used to buy it at Whole Foods market. So any of your high end gourmet or health food shops should have it, or be able to order it for you.

it's totally worth the hassle.

You inspired me to take the quiz.

Damn, you've out-nerded me by quite a sizable margin here.

Don't let my outer facade fool you. The insides are quite nerdy.
