Scribbles about Food: Foods I wish they would bring back!

1) Hood Sugar Cookie and Gingerbread Egg Nog- The sugar cookie egg nog was my absolute favorite... I could not find it anywhere this year and it is horrible! They need to make both of these flavors again! They have pumpkin flavor and their regular egg nog and "golden" egg nog is good... but nothing is as good as the Sugar Cookie flavor! I'm really upset about this, if you work for Hood, please make this nog again. It is the best thing that exists... maybe it does still exist and I just can't find it anywhere... but it needs to be in every grocery store ever.

2) String Thing- I feel like these were made of aliens and the Men in Black needed to wipe everyone's memories of this snack because no one knows what the hell I'm talking about when I mention String Thing. They look blankly, and say "you mean fruit roll ups? You mean fruit by the foot?" No I mean STRING THING! Ughhhh! So annoying. This was really good. I don't know what happened to it! Might not have been as good as Cool Ranch Doritos... but it was good.

3) Pepsi Spice- This was also pretty good. Not as great as Cool Ranch Doritos... but still pretty awesome. It tasted like Pepsi but with a bit of a spiciness. It was just a little bit of flavor but good. It was a Christmas limited edition thingy, but I think they should try bringing it back.

4) Chicken and Waffles Potato Chips- They do bring these back every once and a while, so these might not be discontinued. It has a sophisticated mixture of flavors similar to Cool Ranch Doritos and it is on par with Cool Ranch Doritos. In fact, the reason I like Cool Ranch Doritos so much is because of the sophistication of these flavors combined. Really good.

5) Snapple Pie: Apple Pie Flavored- This was delicious! Its almost a more sophisticated flavor than Doritos and Chicken and Waffles Potato Chips. Its a snapple drink, but it tasted EXACTLY like really good apple pie. So basically this sounds really weird and it is, but the flavors just combine so well in a drink. And you can taste the crust and it is delicious and I just wonder how Snapple got the flavor down completely amazingly. Really really great. They should bring this back.

6) Peepsters- I really hope this hasn't been discontinued. This is limited edition for Christmas and Easter usually, and they didn't release it for Christmas this year. This is the most sophisticated candy flavor that there is. Its a chocolate with a peep marshmallow filling. These are amazing. I hope they bring these back because I really like these.

7) Auntie Anne's Turtle Pretzel's- I remember this vaguely, I think I only actually had it once because it was really messy. I don't even remember if it was called Turtle, it may have been chocolate caramel toffee or anything. It was really really delicious, even though I didn't eat it often, it was still really good and they should bring it back sometime. I like it a lot.

8) Heinz Easy Squirt Ketchup- I think it was actually called EZ Squirt and it was supposed to be so that you draw things with your ketchup. I always liked this because I'm really picky with my ketchup on hamburgers. The perfect amount of ketchup to me is a smiley face with no nose. I just like eyes and a smile and this made it so easy for me to use. They also had green and purple ketchup... thats gross, I just went with the red ones. These were really good.

Honorable Mention: Friendly's- I think there are still a few of these restaurants around, but none around me. They got rid of it at my regular mall and the mall I go to second most... which was just recently. I love Friendly's and... yeah its sad that there are so few of them now. I wish it was still in one of those malls I go to! I have such fond memories of it too, so its really a special place to me I want it back. Lol.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
