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.

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.

![Cheetos : Flamin Hot [ Crunchy ]](https://marcellee.com/posts/118061.jpg)
This is such a silly concept at least as far as my taste buds go. Extreme heat is painful and, though the Flamin Hot bit is just a hyperbolic marketing gimmick, why would I want to experience pain, however mild, at any time, let alone while eating? This would be a tasty snack otherwise; plain Cheetos.

I don’t know what kind of Berry this; one of a large assortment of Bang energy drinks; is supposed to taste like. I sense a hint of grape; grapes are berries in the technical sense; but perhaps that’s a subconscious cue from the purple can design. In any case, it’s about as sweet and palatable as most of the other flavors.

Grapefruit may be healthy, but it doesn’t taste good. The flavor, while sweet, is also offputtingly sour. The saving grace with these Dole fruit cups is that, like the Mandarin Oranges version, the bits are presented in white grape juice, which helps dilute the bitterness. That makes them a decently refreshing alternative when served cold from the fridge.
my rating : 3 of 5
I’m almost sure I’ve never tasted Champagne, but this Bang suggests it has a pleasant almost piña-colada-like flavor. I don’t drink alcohol, so this serves as a suitable, albeit less sophisticated, alternative. The one thing holding it, and most energy drinks, back from being a beverage of choice is the carbonation.

He said he believed he would “make this fight look surprisingly easy” and that’s exactly what he did. If you didn’t think Jon Jones was the (UFC) “goat” before, you better think again. He’s also my second favorite fighter after Anderson Silva; Jones’ second favorite fighter after himself.
I was doubtful about his chances in this Heavyweight debut; Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski lost their win streaks after going up a weight class; especially when I saw him looking pudgy after taking off his shirt outside the Octagon, but he makes short work of Ciryl Gane.
