Great Value Ice Cream : Two Much Fun [ Peanut Butter Cup | Cookies And Cream ]

Great Value Ice Cream : Two Much Fun [ Peanut Butter Cup | Cookies And Cream ]

Don’t get it confused. This Peanut Butter Cup is not the same as the solo one from Great Value. That one has chocolate fudge swirls. This one has peanut butter swirls. I guess they figure this one already has enough chocolate from the Cookies And Cream side, but that difference in swirls makes for a difference in taste. This one tastes significantly better, at least for those of us who prefer the taste of peanut butter over chocolate. The only chocolate found in this Peanut Butter Cup is the outside of the Reese’s-like cups themselves.

Why this superior version of Peanut Butter Cup isn’t available by itself is beyond me; I hate how it seems these companies can’t make a peanut butter product without adding that massively overrated flavor; but it’s a damn shame it isn’t. The solo Peanut Butter Cup is good. This one is great; a fact offset by the fact that it’s forced to share a carton with Cookies And Cream, the taste of which pales in comparison. Nevermind the fact that it’s hard, if not impossible, to spoon out all of one without inadvertently spooning out some of the other.

Brunswick Sardines [ In Spring Water ]

Brunswick Sardines [ In Spring Water ]

I eat sardines not because I like the taste; I don’t; but because they’re a cheap side filler and among the healthiest foods people can eat. That said, these Brunswicks; remarkably tender fish carcasses in spring water with no salt added; are probably the best-tasting I’ve had. If you’re eating them with something runny and tomato-based, like pasta with pasta sauce, they barely have any flavor at all, which is great.

a dream I had about attending an event with tables of free White Castle burgers

It must’ve been some kind of school-related event because I remember seeing Unika from real-life, among other recognizable faces. We were in what seemed to be the first-floor lobby area of a building I’d compare to a smaller version of Cobo Arena in Detroit and it was fairly crowded with mostly young people; hanging around, walking about, eating what seemed to be an endless supply of White Castle burgers. There were sacks and sacks of them; mostly cheese but also plain burgers; placed on fold-out banquet-style tables thru-out the lobby.

I love White Castle burgers, but, for some reason, I didn’t begin grabbing them immediately. I waited, perhaps because I was too busy doing other things; vague memories of girls, sex and having my camera to try to get some of the antics on video come to mind; but once I started eating, it’s like I couldn’t stop. I remember grabbing three or four burgers; trying to be discreet about it; leaving the building and coming back for thirds and fourths; by then, some had been replaced with fresh fish sandwiches; thru-out the evening.

Another cool thing about the event is that some of the rooms connected to the lobby seemed to be actual movie theaters, where you, meaning anyone, could simply walk in and watch a movie on the big screen for free. I remember thinking of going to see one but not doing it because, again, I was busy; walking in and out, focused mainly on the girls; many of whom I know in real life from school or work, some of whom I never liked or talked to much and didn’t in the dream. I passed at least one of the latter on one of my Castle grabs.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal

The box boasts “no artificial flavors”. What it doesn’t tell you is that, compared to the average kid-themed cereal, there’s hardly any flavor at all. The taste; imagine Trix with less punch; is frustratingly bland. That’s partly because the ingredients list is new-age healthy. The cereal, based on Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series, gets its color from vegetable juice and turmeric.
