Junk Food of the Gods: February 2018 Edition!
I’m trying to avoid junk food these days, but I still pay attention to it, and there are tons of seriously great snacks out there. When the world seems depressing, just remember that this same world gave us 650 varieties of Cheez-Its.
Below are five things that you should be eating during moments of weakness. All are in stores now.
Doritos Blaze!
I’ve read complaints about the flavor, but when you’ve got a package that handsome, taste is immaterial. I’m not paying three bucks for the chips — I’m paying three bucks for THAT BAG. It’s Hellraiser mixed with Hypercolor and it makes me want to paint things.
The common gripe is that while Doritos Blaze pack a ton of heat, they’re otherwise devoid of flavor. I didn’t get that impression. They’re damn hot by big brand junk food standards, but I still detected traces of a smoky barbecue flavor.
Put it to you this way: I ate half the bag quickly enough to feel ashamed. By “half the bag” I probably mean “whole bag,” but I will never turn down a shot at plausible deniability.
GRADE: A. They’re not the tastiest Doritos ever, but between the bag, the concept and the fact that they’re named after that little on-fire guy from Mortal Kombat II, I cannot give them a lower grade. Read More…
4 Frightening Facts about MOTU Slime!
Simple as it was, SLIME was perhaps my favorite of all Masters of the Universe toys. The neon green pseudosnot taught me that toy slime wasn’t just what it literally was, but also whatever we imagined it to be.
In Masters of the Universe lore, Hordak uses Slime to turn randos into zombie slaves. He’ll trap adversaries in his wretched Slime Pit, pour the junk over their bodies, and voila: Instant fealty!
Fans rarely bring up Slime without mentioning the Slime Pit, which kind of sells it short. Released in 1986, the glop was super enjoyable even when you weren’t doing weird things to action figures.
Show of hands: How many of you cared for your Slime as if it were some sick baby raccoon rescued from the side of the road? (Or maybe more accurately a potted plant from your beloved, inanimate yet so alive.)
Below are four frightening facts about Masters of the Universe Slime.
Note: None are actually frightening. Read More…
