Taco Bell: The Bacon Backlash Cometh

by Cary · July 21st, 2009 · 16 Comments

If you’re anything like me, you enjoy an online existence.  Said existence involves not working, reading news, humor websites, screwing with people on 4chan, and trying not to read message boards on political sites.  We are inundated with advertisements and people propping up their causes, whether silly or not.  New memes like Failblog and LOLcats [...]

Stop Putting Bacon on Your Burger!

by Eick · July 16th, 2009 · 15 Comments

Anyone who has read a food blog in past 2 years knows that bacon is beloved by many foodies.  Whether it’s creating bacon vodka or electing bacon the top meat in the land in So Good’s Meat Madness, bacon is HOT.  Anyone who dares criticize bacon on their blog will likely be hit with a [...]

If You’re Promoting a Drink, Buy Me a Shot

by Eick · March 18th, 2009 · 14 Comments

This weekend while I was hanging out at a bar, a bagpiper suddenly entered and two attractive women with a tray full of plastic shot glasses appeared in front of me.  Sweet, a drink promotion I thought to myself. Who doesn’t love a good free shot? That’s when the woman asked me: “would you like [...]

I Will No Longer Eat Kellogg’s Cereal

by Eick · February 6th, 2009 · 26 Comments

Update: Unlike Kellogg’s, Subway has announced they are standing by Phelps and keeping him as their spokesperson. Bravo Subway, bravo.
Yeah that’s right, I said it. I’m going to boycott Kellogg’s. Why? Because otherwise they will think everything is just hunky dory after they fired an American HERO for doing what millions of other 23 year-olds [...]

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

by Eick · September 17th, 2008 · 61 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 [...]

New Rule: Until I Have Actually Been to One, Sonic Must Stop Advertising on National TV

by Eick · August 7th, 2008 · 48 Comments

I love Sonic. Every time their ads come on TV, I find myself drooling at the unique food and drink combinations advertised as part of their extensive menu. Fresh fruit limeades? Tater tots with cheese? Sandwiches served on Texas Toast? Delicious. Sign me up.

There’s just one problem with my “loving” Sonic: I’ve [...]

Sour Jacks are Not Sour Patch Kids

by Eick · July 18th, 2008 · 16 Comments

Dear AMC Movie Theaters,
I just got back from a midnight showing of Batman:The Dark Knight. (Which, I might add for my readers, was dope, dope, dope. Go see it. And I’m not just saying that because I have a giant asexual crush on Christopher Nolan and every movie he makes).
Prior to the movie beginning, [...]

Yes, I Understand. Pink is the Best Starburst Flavor

by Eick · June 11th, 2008 · 24 Comments

When did it become impossible to eat Starburst without total strangers feeling the need to inform you that yes, pink is the best color?

This is a true story – about two summers ago, I was walking through Dupont Circle, pack of Starburst in hand, opening and eating them as I walk. When out of [...]

It’s Time to Shut up About Cupcakes

by Eick · April 15th, 2008 · 39 Comments

Dear America,
Remember 5 years ago?
You know, around 2003? The Iraq War was just beginning, President Bush was still popular, and you could actually go an entire day, from morning to night, without hearing or reading something about cupcakes?

Seems like ages ago huh? I mean look at things now: President Bush [...]

Mars Inc. Makes Me Want to Jab My Eye Out

by Eick · September 5th, 2007 · 12 Comments

Why? Because of their “Milky Way 2 to Go” bar. What is that you ask? Why it’s the same as a king size Milky Way, except it’s split into two parts!

Hey Milky Way, this just in: IT’S A FREAKIN CANDY BAR!
Since when is a candy bar NOT “to Go”? Unless you are in the [...]

Ketchup Lovers Are Ruining Ketchup

by Eick · August 9th, 2007 · 32 Comments

Are you a ketchup lover? If so, then let me be the one to break the bad news to you: your taste in condiments sucks.
In the past 30 years, nearly every other condiment has evolved, improved and diversified. But not ketchup. That’s why ketchup is the single most overrated condiment in America. [...]
