video review : Creepshow 3

video review : Creepshow 3

Creepshow 3, which should’ve come out in 1992; the first two were fours years apart; is worse than 2 but better than 1. The best story is the simplest; the one about The Professor’s Wife. It at least has a decent story arc. The Radio and The Haunted Dog are downright stupid, though the latter’s protagonist does manage to provide some laughs.

video review : Honeydew

video review : Honeydew

Honeydew is sweet and suspenseful, well on its way to being a good horror movie, for about the first half hour. That’s when you start to realize too much time is going by without anything (significant) happening. From there, it’s a mundane turgid affair as couple Riley and Sam get served by a crazy hag named Karen and her scrawny dining partner.

Reese’s Peanut Butter

Reese's Peanut Butter

This isn’t just Reese’s Peanut Butter. It’s an ice cream version from Breyers. It tastes sweet and yummy, of course, but it’s not quite as good as you might anticipate. It’s “light”, meaning it has less fat than normal ice cream, and you can tell. The “chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups” are also too small or maybe there just aren’t enough of them.

A Shoc Energy : Blue Raspberry

A Shoc Energy : Blue Raspberry

I don’t like the taste of Raspberry, Blue or otherwise, but it doesn’t overwhelm the general sweetness of this A Shoc Energy drink. That’s despite the fact that it contains “zero sugar”; not that sucralose is a healthy replacement. The “natural caffeine” count; it’s “charged by nature”; is 200 milligrams.

Marketside Five Cheese Traditional Crust Pizza

Marketside Five Cheese Traditional Crust Pizza

Even topped with Five Cheeses; mozzarella, provolone, Monterey Jack, Parmesan and Romano; a serving of this Pizza, which for me usually means the whole pie, is a bland affair. Part of the blame goes to the lack of meat; pepperoni alone could improve the taste drastically; but most of it goes to the underwhelming flavor of the sauce and spices.

Scoops Ahoy : Mint Flare

Scoops Ahoy : Mint Flare

I don’t like the taste of mint; it’s a shame how difficult it is to find good toothpaste in other flavors; but it goes well enough with chocolate. This Scoops Ahoy ice cream, from the Starcourt Mall in Hawkins (Indiana) on Netflix’s Stranger Things, also includes “chocolate chunks and rainbow confetti”; chewy bits that help make it a lot better than the name suggests.

Chick-Fil-A’s Sausage Egg And Cheese Biscuit

Chick-Fil-A's Sausage Egg And Cheese Biscuit

It seems none of these fast-food restaurants can quite match the taste of McDonald’s when it comes to the Biscuit sandwich, but this Chick-Fil-A Sausage Egg And Cheese version is damn good all the while. Never mind being closed on Sundays. The real holy shame is that this bad boy, probably the franchise’s best food item, isn’t available for lunch and dinner.

Chick-Fil-A’s Cookies And Cream Milkshake

Chick-Fil-A's Cookies And Cream Milkshake

My only complaint with this Chick-Fil-A Milkshake is that the Cookies, which taste like Oreos, consist of such tiny bits. I understand it’s considered a beverage, but they also give you a spoon. It’s a tasty treat either way; the whipped cream and cherry topping also adds a touch of elegance; but a chunky version, with big fat cookies you have to chew down, would be even better.
