This Energy Drink is supposed to taste like Peach Rings candy; what Sonic The Hedgehog has to do with the flavor is anyone’s guess; but it tastes more like a Peach cocktail. That, for those of us who dislike the bitter taste of alcohol, isn’t a good thing. It’s not quite as bad as Big Game Peach Passion, but it’s bad.

A KRS-One and Marley Marl MC/DJ collaboration would’ve been a wonderful thing in 1989 or 1990 when they were at their artistic peaks. This album comes nearly two decades late. Actually Marley still has skills when it comes to making vintage rap beats. It’s KRS-One who’s fallen off a cliff with a bombardment of wack hooks and lazy rhymes. Hip Hop Lives, but The Blastmaster seems to be doing his best to kill it.

I don’t know whose Passion this is, but it certainly isn’t mine. Peach is generally one of my favorite artificial fruit flavors, but this is a major exception. It tastes less like peaches and more like a weird chemical imitation. The flavor is okay at first sip, but it gets worse the more you drink.

That’s Shit is more like it. Not to say this Fruit Bar isn’t edible, but the flavor is more like something that came out of someone’s rear end than anything delicious. There are “just three ingredients”; Blueberries, dates and active cultures; which is impressively healthy, but there’s a reason other snack products add more. A cookie coating à la Fig Newtons could really help with the taste.

“The magic of cereal is that you’re eating and drinking at the same time with one hand,” a Kellogg’s employee proclaims. It’s one of the rare occasions in which the constant barrage of food jokes actually work. Most simply aren’t funny, especially during the imbecilic first half, which leaves one wondering why what might’ve worked as a short comedy skit; about the invention of Pop Tarts; is being served as a full-length movie.

It’s a fun concept, but this tastes like neither Skittles; my favorite candy; nor regular Cotton Candy. It’s more of the latter than the former, at least initially before the chemical aftertaste settles in, but either way it’s a blatant fraud. It also smells like something you shouldn’t be eating.

This record is, as the ridiculous title suggests, all about the Funk; the kind you hear, and smell, at the local discothèque. The set begins with Loose Caboose; a song made for the sole purpose of shaking your ass to; but it’s the Music that has everyone dancing. Joe Tex’s vocals, which he shouts like a ghetto church preacher, are less than divine.

“Galaxy Lime is infinitely delicious,” the promo claims, but that’s hyperbolic nonsense. It isn’t even good. The flavor, in which “Bright lime and deep blackberry collide”, is among the worst 3D Energy Drinks. It tastes like a fruit and vegetable concoction from somebody’s juicer and smells, oddly enough, like spoiled milk.
my rating : 2 of 5
The Twilight Zone; a “middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition”; is conceptually an interesting place. It’s how those ideas play out that tend to lead nowhere. The series, presented in five seasons, wouldn’t be bad condensed to a short one of its best stories.
The Fever, The Shelter, It’s A Good Life, The New Exhibit, Living Doll and Night Call would all be included. Most other episodes are subpar, thanks in part to corny hyperbolic characterization. Some, especially the ones that abandon the sci-fi/horror genre for comedy, are downright stupid.

“Feel the freeze,” the catchphrase exclaims. This Cereal “cools your mouth as you eat”. It’s a gimmick that fits the concept; it’s based on those Icee slushies kids drink in the summer; but ultimately ruins the taste. That chalky antacid-like bit, which, ironically enough, starts to become nauseating, lingers long after you’re done eating.

You might think this isn’t bad if you’re just tasting it as a sample, but the more you eat the worse it gets. Besides the sweetness of French Ice Cream, it really does taste like a Dill Pickle; the ingredients list includes vinegar; and that’s the problem. Pickles aren’t even good on their own. Why would I want one ruining my Ice Cream?

![audio review : a DM Records compilation : Bass Sound Off USA [ Volume 3 ]](https://marcellee.com/posts/124234.jpg)
This third Volume in the Bass Sound Off series is about on par with the first two. That is to say it’s just as much of a bloated mess. An EP of the six actual Bass Syndicate songs; the rest are 808XS beats and random sound effects; would make for a decent listen. The better among them include Aruba Prelude, which should’ve started the set, and Backward Glances, which should’ve ended it.
