My first memory of a McDonald’s pie was during a third grade field trip. No, we weren’t lucky enough to score a full fledged Mickey D’s store tour. It was when stopped for lunch, after a traumatizing visit to a petting zoo which housed an overly affectionate goat named Randy. Back in the good old [...]

Being a night owl has two negatives: 1) scary noises, and 2) missing breakfast. The former can be countered by turning up the TV volume.

This was a target of opportunity for me this week. Eick mentioned this years back and its mysterious appearance on the shelf of one of my favorite beer stores was a bit of kismet. I decided to go with the regular Budweiser option rather than the lite. I am a recent arrival into the world of cheladas. I had my first one ever a couple [...]

Happy Monday, So Good readers! Just your friendly neighborhood Junk Food Guy here.  Turkey Day is just a few days away, but that doesn’t mean that post-Thanksgiving holiday items aren’t in full swing. After Pringles announced a while back that they’d be releasing White Chocolate Peppermint Pringles for the holidays, I have been searching high and low for [...]
