Did you know that the folks at Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me have a blog? And that blog has a regular Sandwich Monday features, with a loose definition of what constitutes a sandwich?
In last Monday’s post, their sandwich wasn’t really a sandwich; it was a deviled egg. And their deviled egg wasn’t really a deviled egg. It was a deviled Cadbury Creme Egg, which is basically a CadburyCreme Egg cut in half with more frosting piped in.
I’ve always been meh on peanuts, so Snickers don’t really do it for me. But man, check out these food porn photos of a no bake Snickers cake on Bakers Royale. They’re luscious enough to change my mind!
Skittles is known for its off the wall commercials. Now, via Serious Eats, they’ve hired an off the wall spokesperson in Trale Lewous, a crazy guy who can’t pronounce words and has an annoying voice.
The story behind Trale Lewous is pretty interesting. He’s just a comedian who started making silly videos about Skittles that caught on on YouTube and managed to turn that into a paid gig.
Excuse me while I go make a series of videos in which I mispronounce Mercedes Benz…
The folks at Gimbal’s wanted me to let y’all know about their newest promo: a contest with a grand prize of 100 pounds of their gourmet jelly beans. You have until the end of the month to enter on Facebook.
Can you imagine winning 100 pounds of jelly beans? I bet it would be enough to turn a kiddie pool into a jelly bean pit (a la ball pits). I wonder how many pounds of jelly beans you’d need before you could dive in them, Scrooge McDuck style…
And speaking of contests, don’t forgot to enter my gum/gift card giveaway that closes tomorrow!
I haven’t been a gum chewer since high school (hence the sparseness of gum reviews here), but mayhaps some of you chew and would care about this news?
Trident and Stride are currently running a “Chew for the Loot” promo. Specially marked packs of those gums come with a chance to win $50. The promo also includes a Facebookgame that lets you bling out your chewer in your Facebook photo.
For some reason or another, they want to promote their giving away money contest by giving away money here. One randomly selected reader will receive a Trident/Stride gift pack and a $25 gift card to spend on anything.
To enter, leave a comment with what you’d spend a $50 windfall on by 11:59 PM EST on Friday, March 16th. Make sure a valid email address is in the email field, NOT in the actual comment itself. That way only I can see them, and I will only use the winner’s email address for contact info.
They’re a bunch of French chocolate lovers that get together every other month for some serious chocolate tasting. There are only 150 members total, and you must be sponsored by two existing members in order to join – if there even are any vacancies.
In other words, I will never be cool enough to attend. For anyone else who is similarly not cool like me, you can always have your own chocolate tasting parties!
I'm flattered if you want to use my photos, but please use the Contact Form to get my permission first. Because that's what a decent human being would do.
