i’ve known about ramune for probably 10 years or so and have always wanted to try some. i think i was always fascinated by the marble drop mechanism which i imagine most people are. anyways, i finally got the chance to try some. the original flavor tastes kind of like the classic american “bubble gum” […]

to me right this moment IBC root beer is the best overall and consistently good root beer that i’ve had. nothing really beats a chilled bottle of IBC. i’m going to start keeping track to see if i can find a better or equal quality root beer. especially since there are so many independent brands […]

my preferred bloody mary: clamato/v8, lemon juice, salt, celery salt, pepper, worcestershire, tabasco sauce pre-made bloody mary mixes: mr. and mrs. t’s regular – it’s okay premium blend – thick, tastes like i’m chewing on straight horseradish; gross bold and spicy – bit too spicy tabasco spicy – not bad…but a little too spicy my […]

i love pepperoncini/peperoncini aka greek peppers. lately i’ve decided to figure out which brand available at the local grocery store is best. in my opinion of course. available brands: bella – my favorite thus far mezzetta – not terribly fond of this vigo – on par with bella, has the largest peppers that are still […]
