Dear P.E.T.A: Stay Out Of My Ice Cream!

by · September 26th, 2008 · 9 Comments

I love animals. Really, I do. I grew up with pets and fully embrace their cuddly cuteness. Unfortunately the people of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have taken it too far. PETA wrote Ben and Jerry’s a letter requesting that they replace the cows milk used to make their ice cream with [...]

Baskin-Robbins = Heart Attack

by · September 25th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Thanks to our friends at Comsumerist, one of the most dangerous food items in existence has been brought to light. Baskin-Robbins, previously know for their famous 31 flavors and widespread presence across this country, has created something that surely must be sponsored by the American College of Cardiology.  If you have not heard, it is [...]

Burger King: Reverse Pickpocket

by · September 24th, 2008 · 9 Comments

The King is back! A lot of the Burger King ads with the King have missed the mark, but I’m a big fan of the new “reverse pick pocket” ads running right now. Intended to promote the new BK wrappers, they are humorous and a fun way to get across the point of saving money. [...]

I Try It So You Don’t Have To: Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeno Cheddar

by · September 24th, 2008 · 12 Comments

The suggestions for disgusting/bizarre/odd things for me to eat have been rolling in. I have done a few and welcome them all. So, while my stomach may not thank you, I do. Yet, sometimes, I don’t need your suggestions. There is plenty of random stuff out there for me to just stumble upon on my [...]

Economic Eating Woes

by · September 21st, 2008 · No Comments

These are hard times folks.  The US economy continues to decline and the only thing poised to go up on Wall Street are suicide rates.  No one is safe… not even your local grocery store!  Lately I have been noticing the prices of my weekly food staples slowly creeping up.  Food in New York City [...]

The “Ick” Factor: Protecting One Lunch At A Time

by · September 20th, 2008 · 5 Comments

I recently discussed my frustration with my co-workers, many of whom insist on making eating at work a hassle at best.  Well, some woman in New York may have the answer to my prayers!  Apparently,  Sherwood Forlee shares my annoyance at the trials of trying to hang on to your lunch at work, and thus [...]

Swiss Ms. A Swiss Miss

by · September 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments

One thing I pride myself in is being unafraid to eat new and different things. Whether this means my first taste of kimchi several years back or my first sinful bite of foie gras – I live and learn. That said, I do have my own limitations, and I have found another. The headline pretty [...]

No I Do Not Want to Order Pepperoni Pizza – Do I Look Like I’m 12 Years Old?

by · September 17th, 2008 · 75 Comments

I’m going to start this rant by saying something that people need to acknowledge, but seem instinctively unwilling to do: Pepperoni pizza is not that good. I mean, yeah, it’s good, but it’s not THAT good. Seriously, it’s not. If you think it is, it’s time to get over it, and get over yourself. Wake [...]

I Try It So You Don’t Have To: Scrapple

by · September 17th, 2008 · 18 Comments

It is amazing to me that, in a country so wasteful, scrap meat is so popular. As a nation, we willingly consume hot dogs, deviled ham, and even potted meat. In the same country, we let our water run excessively, leave the lights burning, and chuck containers of leftovers in the trash on a daily [...]
