This “rich, creamy and perfectly sweet eggnog is a delicious indulgence for the holiday season.” That’s according to TG Lee. It is indeed good and sweet, but it would be richer and creamier (better) if it were made with whole instead of nonfat milk. The best way to consume it is with a mouthful of graham crackers.

“There’s no one like him,” Joe Rogan says of Jiří Procházka after this bout, “The guy thrives on chaos like no one else I think I’ve seen.” Indeed after clearly losing two rounds in what is mostly a technical striking match, he demonstrates just that in the third by dropping the formalities and initiating an all-out brawl. The “very very intelligent” Khalil Rountree tries to oblige and gets knocked senseless.

The title suggests a New Year’s Eve celebration as Mariah Carey, playing her rich vain self, taunts her ex-beau. “I don’t need no closure over you,” she says before letting him know he’s already been replaced. It’s easily one of her better songs thanks mostly to its tasteful (Tinashe-like) chorus, though, at just two and a half minutes long, the party ends a bit early.

You’ll be doing yourself a major disservice following the “serving instructions” of this Cheesecake Sampler, which says to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours. It’s good that way but tastes a lot better store-frozen; perhaps one of the best-tasting desserts I’ve ever consumed, in fact. It’s a damn shame it isn’t marketed (supposed) to be eaten that way.

“Each bottle of Callaway Blue spring water contains refreshingly pure water straight from the Georgia mountains,” the promo reads. Distilled is the best, but this is a nice natural; “minimally processed”; alternative. For rock water, it tastes better than you might expect, especially when you drink it cold.

These Puffs may be “made with real Reese’s peanut butter”, but you can’t really tell from the taste. They’re good but not very peanut-buttery. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are better and, if that’s an unfair comparison, so is Peanut Butter Crunch; a similar cereal without the bits of chocolate.

If not for MVP being controlled on the ground in the final round of his bout with Jared Cannonier; a flashy KO seemed near after knocking him down in the first two; every UFC 319 win would be a noteworthy one. Tim Elliott gets a surprise victory over Kai Asakura. Carlos Prates and Lerone Murphy deliver stunning back-to-back first-round spinning-back-elbow knockouts. Khamzat Chimaev dominates Dricus Du Plessis.
That last bit is somewhat of a head-scratcher; not because Chimaev starts the fight with his relentless wrestling as expected but that Dricus Du Plessis has no answer for it over the course of five rounds. I thought he’d find a way to win; he said he would and there is indeed a brief Silva/Sonnen-like moment near the end; but it’s as if, as Daniel Cormier suggests, his gameplan was to exhaust Chimaev, which never happens.

Strawberry and Peach are two of the best Quaker Oatmeal flavors, so this Fruit Fusion makes sense. What’s perhaps even more impressive is the full ingredients list, which, aside from the sugar, is indeed “heart healthy”. Pour cold milk over the top, don’t stir it in and eat it like that to maximize the taste.

The brand name rings true. These Walmart Potato Chips; the Crunchy bit is redundant; are indeed a Great Value. They cost considerably less than their more popular competitors and taste just as good. The three ingredients include potatoes, vegetable oil and Salt.

Would this Cheesecake be better with strawberries? Yes. Is it still good as is? Yes, but it’s no Classic; at least not when it comes to taste. The Cheesecake itself; French Style means that it’s “whipped”; is somewhat delicious. It’s the loose graham cracker crust that could use some enhancing.

I generally don’t like Chili by itself, but this Hebrew Vietti offering, available both “with beans” and “no beans”, tastes pretty good. It’s a wholesome All Natural food with just nine ingredients, but the presentation, once you get it out of the can, is surprisingly premium. It’s best on sausages with bread or potato chips.

This Chair Pad, made with “memory foam” covered in “faux leather”; you can choose between black and brown; could indeed make for Better Homes. It “fits most standard dining chairs”, many of which consist of hard wood (hardwood) like oak or beech, to prevent a potential pain in the ass. It also works for decorative purposes.
