Chex Mix Muddy Buddies

     A few weeks ago my buddy Dan (a recurring character in my blog at this point) wanted me to try these out.  So I did and now here we are blogging about them.  I guess that anecdote sounded better in my head,

Moon Pie Bites

     A while back I blogged about full size Moon Pies.  I wasn't overly impressed with them.  The Moon Pie Bites are slightly better.

Butterfinger Ice Cream Peanut Butter Cups

     With the start of summer naturally I had to move to a colder snack.  I'm a sweaty man and need to regulate my body temperature to prevent myself from dripping with Mountain Dew.  As you can see from the lovely decor of the storefront, I made another trip to QuickChek.

Utz Honey BBQ Potato Chips

     Continuing on with the snacks I got during my trip to Skidmore, next we have potato chips I found in their vending machine.  My buddy Dylan wanted to get in a photo like Bobby did and settled for looking surprised when I told him it was his turn to pose.

Cadbury Crunchie Cookies

     During my adventures to Skidmore College I acquired a few snacks to blog about.  First one I tried were these bad boys, as modeled by my handsome associate Bobby.

Skidmore College Cafeteria Soft Serve Ice Cream

     Before you ask, yes I did drive three hours so I could go to a buffet style cafeteria and have a tiny ice cream cone.  Also I made the USA Maccabi Rugby team while I was up there, no big deal but kind of a big deal (literally everyone who paid the camp fee made the team).

It'Sugar Malted Milk Balls

     My parents recently made the old people Mecca trip to Las Vegas to gamble away my inheritance.  They also spent some of that money on a giant bag of malted milk balls for their favorite/ only son.

The Investor Who Saved The Twinkie Bought The Playboy Mansion

CNN Money- The Playboy Mansion has a buyer. It's Daren Metropoulos, of Metropoulos & Co., the private equity firm that famously help rescue Twinkies snack cakes from extinction when it bought Hostess out of bankruptcy.
     Metropoulos is in contract to purchase the notorious party palace, though he won't call it home just yet. Playboy's 90-year-old founder, Hugh Hefner, will get to stay at the mansion for the rest of his life per the terms of the sale.
     Metropoulos co-manages Metropoulos & Co. with his billionaire father Dean. Their firm made headlines three years ago when it won the bid to buy Hostess Brands via a joint venture with Apollo Global Management. He previously served as co-CEO of Pabst Brewing Company.

New Oreo Alert: Key Lime

     Last week I went to the supermarket to pick up some groceries and saw these on a display at the entrance of the store.  Naturally I got distracted, forgot what I was going to buy, and spent $30 on snacks.

How Much Peanut Butter Is In Your Favorite Reese's Products?: A Scientific Review

     A couple months back (yeah I'm lazy) I was having a discussion at the bar about how much peanut butter is in various Reese's products.  Naturally after I was done drinking I went over to QuikCheck and bought one of each kind so I could cut them up and do some science.
(Did I do this memeing right?)

Shop Rite Brownie Cup

     After trying out the cupcake from Twin Donuts Plus I decided to give Shop Rite's option a shot.  They had a whole display of red, white, and blue products sitting on a display right by the entrance.  That did the trick for me.  In the marketing world we call that a POP display, for those of you not in the know.
