[Food Review] Taco Bell’s Cantina Tacos (All Three Flavors)

Here’s a portion of a Does It Hit The Spot review:

Taco Bell doesn’t have authentic Mexican food. One look at menu items like the Tortada or the Enchirito should tell you that. People don’t eat Taco Bell because they want authentic Mexican cuisine, they eat it because it is dirt cheap and delicious.

Obviously someone in the executive office doesn’t realize that. Taco Bell recently released three “Cantina” tacos, chicken, steak, and carnitas, in an attempt to provide a more “authentic” Mexican style taco. Are these really authentic? I couldn’t tell you. Should I research it and find out to better serve you, the reader? Yes. Am I going to? No. But I will tell you whether or not these new tacos hit the spot.

[Food Review] Logan’s Rib-Eye

Here’s a portion of a Does It Hit The Spot review:

Last night my family and I went out for dinner to Logan’s Rib-Eye, one of the many steakhouses in the Terre Haute area. You see, here in Terre Haute, people don’t take kindly to many types of restaurants. It seems the only ones the majority of the the population will give their business to are steakhouses, Mexican, BBQ, Chinese buffets and any type of fast food. Except Hardee’s. Hauters don’t like Hardee’s. There’s also an Indian place, but the only people who eat there are other Indian people.

Listening to me complain about the monotony that results from eating out in my city, you’d think I’ve eaten at every establishment multiple times and have grown weary of dining at all local restaurants. The truth is I’ve not even tried half the places at my disposal, Logan’s being one of them.

Was it any good? Let’s just say I’ll be going back.

[Relaxation Drink Review] Vacation in a Bottle: Pomegranate Berry

Here’s a portion of a Caffeine Critic review:

Vacation in a Bottle, or ViB for short, is the exact opposite of what I usually review on this site. Much like the recently critiqued Drank, ViB is an anti-energy drink — a beverage that induces lax and calm feelings as opposed to bursts of excess energy. While it is true, as you all surely know, that I love caffeine and the awesome stimulating effects, I also purely adore relaxation beverages. They are an awesome invention with an outstanding effect when they work properly.

[Food Review] The Alamo

Here’s a portion of a review on Does It Hit The Spot.

A while back I reviewed Kringle’s Kafe’, one of the most likely lunch spots during a visit to Holiday World for many consumers. I was less than impressed with the quality, price, and the way the food sat on my stomach. Now I’m back with a review for one of the more popular dinner spots at the park, The Alamo.

Located at the heart of 4th of July, The Alamo is surrounded by rides like the Liberty Launch and the Lewis & Clark Trail, an attraction that sees visitors driving extremely slow go carts modeled after old cars around a set track. Lewis and Clark didn’t have cars. This has nothing to do with the restaurant at hand, but this just infuriates me. What the hell, Holiday World? Go to school. They teach you that shit.

[Food Review] Velveeta Shells and Cheese

A portion of Trey Bolinger’s review on DIHTS:

Today I sampled it for the first time, and for a quick snack to hold me over ’til dinner time, hands down was a lot better than the Easy Mac. When you first peel off the lid of the packaging, you see a packet and the noodles, pre-mixed with a powdery looking substance. Inside the packet though, instead of powdered cheese flavored stuff, is real Velveeta cheese. Not powder either. Just real, gooey, delicious Velveeta. What’s nice about this is instead of ending up with a powdery, slushy mess in the container, you mix it all together for a thorough and consistent creamy texture.

[Energy Drink Review] Howling Monkey Sugar Free Energizing Cola

A portion of a Caffeine Critic review:

Howling Monkey. Quite possibly the greatest name choice of any brand in the history of Earth and yet this stuff seems to be ever elusive from the hands of even the most adamant of energy drink collectors. It’s almost impossible to find, though if you ever came across the fantastically designed circus-themed can it would be hard to miss. And as you can tell by the title of this post, I’m not even reviewing the actual energy drink, instead an energy cola that is simply an offshoot from the original product. I’ve never seen any Howling Monkey products besides this with my own eyes, and I happened across this by chance at my local Big Lots.

[Food Review] Ore-Ida Zesties!

Here’s a portion of a Does It Hit The Spot review:

If I had to make a list of only three things in the world that I love, it would be something like Nintendo, zombies and french fries. In that exact order. Trivial? If you think so then you are extremely shallow. Nintendo is the company responsible for the greatest video games on the face of this earth. Zombies eat human beings because they are driven by instinct to do so, and it’s entirely ok to blow their brains into oblivion. French fries? I shouldn’t even need to explain myself.

Ore-Ida has been a top player in the competitive world of frozen spud sticks for quite some time now, and one of their more popular inventions are the Zesties. These fries come preseasoned in the bag so that you don’t have to worry about performing tasks as strenuous as pouring Lawry’s salt on your freshly oven-baked side. You’ve already wasted enough energy opening the bag! And that’s not counting the process of preparing whatever brand of frozen, partially cooked, microwavable chicken patty you plan on enjoying them with.

[Drink Review] Bossa Nova: Mangosteen with Passion Fruit

This is the first review in a series that will cover the line of super fruit juices from Bossa Nova. They offer a wide range of drinks, ranging from this Mangosteen and Passion Fruit flavor to Acai and Blueberry (which is, in case you didn’t know, one of the greatest flavor combinations on earth) and many in between.

Now, I’ve never had mangosteen but I am willing to try new things, especially when they are as loaded with antioxidants as this is. I’ve been trying all sorts of antioxidizing juices and overall “healthy” drinks lately for some reason (yes, I drink more than just soda and energy drinks), so I’ve got a pretty good idea of how this stacks up to some other products out there. Let’s see how it does!

Black Jack’s Calypso Green Tea is one of, if not the worst thing I’ve ever drank. So, instead of writing a review and discussing the different attributes of the product as I normally would, I’ve decided to make a list of Fifty things I would rather do than drink this stuff ever again.

  1. Eat an oven roasted baby corpse
  2. Share the corpse with my dog
  3. Kill my dog
  4. Eat my dead dog

[Food Review] Lay’s Kettle Cooked Chips: Harvest Ranch

A portion of a Does It Hit The Spot review.

I work at a grocery store as a bagger. Do you know what that means? It means I belong to the chain of stores I work for. I’m their slave. At times, I am their sex slave. I do what they say, when they say it. I have no input in anything that occurs in my company, nor will my opinions ever be valued by the higher ups. I push carts in 90 degree weather wearing black pants. I sweep floors, I mop spills, I clean human feces out of sinks in the bathroom, and I bag groceries with a smile on my face. I hate it.

Regardless, it’s a great place to work come lunch time. Anything I might be feeling that day is usually just a few aisles down. Of course, I also have a very tight budget. So when I’m not snacking on raman, Banquet meals, and dog food, oftentimes I’ll spend about $10 – $15 at once on food and feed off of it throughout the week. When I do this I like to get the basics: whole wheat bread, muenster, swiss, or pepper jack cheese, a 1 lb. package of lunch meat, Claussen pickles, and a bag of chips. Most recently I bought this Lay’s brand kettle cooked variety, the flavor sounding delicious and the “All Natural” label was enticing. They were a bit out of my regular budget, but I decided they would be a worthy trade over the usual bag of Funions.
