TG Lee Eggnog

TG Lee Eggnog

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.

audio review : Confetti And Champagne ( song ) … Mariah Carey

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.

Prime Energy Drink : Tropical Punch

Prime Energy Drink : Tropical Punch

Drinking Tropical Punch should be a breezy delight. What dampers the experience in the case of this and most Energy Drinks is the carbonation. It’s not too strong in the sense of causing pain, but the heavy fizz is a major distraction. The caffeine count is 200 milligrams.

Monster Energy : Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red

Monster Energy : Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red

This “may be the best tasting Ultra yet!” according to the can, but that’s not much of a promotion. Carbonated Energy drinks are inherently flawed and this Monster is no exception. It does have a relatively pleasant “citrus taste”; it’s based on the Ruby Red grapefruit; but the bubbly sting, however mild, takes you out of the Fantasy.

G Fuel Energy Drink : Dream Demon

G Fuel Energy Drink : Dream Demon

What A Nightmare On Elm Street has to do with beverages may be initially confusing, but consuming an Energy Drink to stay awake does make for a clever connection. Too bad the name seems to negate that fact by putting the emphasis on the Dream Demon Freddy Krueger himself. Don’t Sleep would’ve been better. The indistinct flavor is described as “tart fruit punch”.

Callaway Blue Spring Water

Callaway Blue Spring Water

“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.
