Why even bother calling this Strawberry Cheesecake? It’s a bad idea as far as marketing and promotion goes because it tastes nothing like it and will inevitably irk those of us anticipating the flavor.
What does it taste like? Well, it’s hard to say; certainly not cheesecake or even strawberries. It’s mildly sweet though and pleasant enough to eat as a healthy alternative to sugar yogurt.

The box describes this cereal as having a “unique light and crispy texture”, but it’s basically Granola with rice cake crumbs. What is unusual are the dried apple pieces. Actual fruit, along with the addition of Cinnamon, lends credence to the “natural flavors” bit in the promo. Is it “delicious”? No, but it makes for a decent breakfast or dry snack.

This cereal; a Laura Lynn product distributed by Ingles Markets; is a blatant ripoff of Lucky Charms. If the similarity of the frosted oats and marshmallows weren’t obvious enough, the mascot is a Magician dressed like a leprechaun.
It tastes better though. What put me off Lucky Charms is when they started skimping on the marshmallows. These seem to have enough. Even if they didn’t, the oat pieces, all of which are shaped like stars, taste better than theirs.

While certainly Portable, this would more accurately be described as a Udison Bluetooth Speaker considering it can’t be used without said technology. With just four buttons; the blue light, which can be distracting in the dark, can’t be turned off; its features are as basic as the name. Still I like it, especially in regard to its handy size and durability.

The Better Homes bit fits. This Shower Caddy, which is promoted as having an “oil-rubbed bronze finish” but looks black, can indeed improve the quality of your bathroom. There are four adjustable shelves (baskets) for soaps and such, along with a shower head holder and a “lock top”.

This; a rare example of a popular fast-food Fish Sandwich available any time of year; is “topped with iceberg lettuce and tartar sauce for”, as Checkers describes it, “a boatload of flavor”.
That last bit is clever hyperbole; I wish it came with more sauce than it does and usually add my own mayo to compensate; but it’s a damn good alternative to a typical hamburger.

I don’t know what this Cola has to do with Miami, but it’s a cool name. Miami Coke; pun intended, especially given the fact that each can smuggles in a whopping 300 milligrams of caffeine; would’ve been even better as the taste, which comes with a hint of cherry, reminds me of a cross between Cherry Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper.

These Cookies, each of which is embedded with a vague kid-friendly word or phrase like “Kind is cool”, smell like Fig Newtons and don’t taste much better. That’s partly because the Goods bit has to do with health; they’re promoted as “junk-free”; which intrinsically dampers good taste.

This project (album/mixtape) has to do with Mental health. If you couldn’t already tell by the title, the pedagogic prelude and interludes suggest as much. The theme is a solemn departure for Juicy J, but musically it’s basically business as usual. “I stay strapped like a baby seat,” the Memphis native declares on Pay Attention, over a trunk-rattling beat, because you “can’t trust niggas no more.”
Paranoia, schizophrenia; there are plenty of medical references to Stress the concept, but, though the No Rapper begins the set by suggesting there’s a personal underlining regarding the death of his mother, he never goes that deep. He’s more interested in doing drugs, making money and fucking “bitches”. Highlights include Deadbeat; a duet with Three 6 affiliate La Chat; and Gettin.

![Planters Peanuts [ Salted ]](https://marcellee.com/posts/118281.jpg)
These Peanuts are okay enough to eat as a snack; a relatively healthy one with plenty of “plant-based protein”; but they’re plain thus not as flavorful as other varieties from Planters. When it comes to peanuts in general, cashews taste much better.

This is, as far as I’m concerned, a waste of a damn good Premo beat. Yes, the music is produced not by Dr Dre; he relegates himself to guest rapper; but DJ Premier and his contribution is easily the best part of the song.
Anderson Paak, both the things he says; this is yet another example of “black folks” playing victim to “white folks”; and his voice are annoying. The one exception is the bridge, which is catchy enough to have been the chorus.

These Lay’s Potato Chips are an interesting alternative to the original Classic (plain) version. Both are Salted; all of their chips are, which makes the name a little misleading; but the Vinegar bit adds a tangy twist.
