Just today I was asking myself what would make this world a better place? I know I probably should have answered World Peace, but I just kept thinking about food (I probably should have eaten before asking this very important question). Which led me on to the most important question in the world: “What [...]
If the world didn’t end when Cheeseburger in a Can showed up on the market, then it certainly won’t end now. This is a “food” item that is catering to a target market that I just can’t seem to figure out. Who exactly are they trying to sell this stuff to? Is it lazy [...]
Considering how big Hello Kitty is all over the world, a normal sized Pez Dispenser just wouldn’t do. It had to be big - really big. As a matter of fact it had to be XXL. Pez says the new XXL Hello Kitty Pez dispenser has just arrived.
I couldn’t find it a direct link [...]
Who can resist candy like this? I just love these! They are 8.5″ of sugary goodness that you can use to have lightsaber duels. These are definitely something that I need to get. They come 12 to a box - I think that means that they could at least last for six duels. I [...]
Dairy Queen has just introduced a new Blizzard. They call it the “Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookie Blizzard Treat” (I left out all the trademark and registered symbols in the name - it was already too much to type). I saw a commercial for it last night on TV (even though there isn’t a Dairy [...]
We all have our own guilty pleasures in life. Some people have chocolate; others watch bad movies; I have marshmallows (and yes I love bad movies - but who said I couldn’t have more than one guilty pleasure?)! My love affair with the sugary fluff is long-standing and even more intense when that fluff is [...]

Pioneer Press: 1st Place - Honoring the Peep in All Things, Namaste. By Joel Homme, age 47, Saint Paul. See all entries here.
Washington Post: 1st Place - The Tomb [...]
Now this is a CAKE! I have seen all sorts of cakes before, but this one takes the uhhhh cake (sorry about that - couldn’t think of anything else to say about it). This is definitely the best groom’s cake I have seen to date (not that I see a lot of groom’s cakes [...]
Okay - maybe it’s too late at night for me to be blogging, but I was laughing so hard at this that I was crying (and partly because she mentioned that she needed a wire rack for this experiment). Some very enterprising food connoisseurs (and yes, I had to look up how to spell that [...]
Yes, it is a little early in the year for me to start talking about my very favorite sugary snack. But I had to make an exception since there is an unheard of number of Peep diorama contests going on this year.
Pioneer Press - Photo submissions are due via web or snail mail and [...]
