Food & Drink
Dry mouth. Pounding head. Queasy stomach, probably related to the nacho cheese smeared across your pillow. We all have experienced those mornings where we swear we'll never drink again. Of course that promise is rarely kept, so how wonderful would it be if those miserable Sunday mornings could never happen again? I KNOW, IT SOUNDS …

NO THANK YOU: NutLiquor
Speaking of vodka (not the up-your-cooter kind), here is another idea that warrants a hearty "NO THANK YOU": a peanut butter flavored spirit with the atrocious name "NutLiquor." The 69-proof drink, which sells in stores across America as well as online, was distilled to taste "like the center of a peanut butter cup," although it …

The Best Ad For the Best Product Ever
After reading this clearly misogynistic, but also CLEARLY AMAZING ad for a beer glass that holds sixty ounces of beer, I wonder if I should switch professions and write cynical and bitter advertising lines. I think I'd be good at it. Examples:[An ad for a fancy tie] "This tie is not only maroon and blue, …

The Creamy Bacon Donut
I will be headed to Las Vegas, NV in exactly 15 days to watch and report on the Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez fight at the MGM Grand Hotel. Due to this forthcoming event, one might refer to my diet as "terrifying" or "probably going to kill you." But hey, if I learned anything …

Schweddy Balls Ice Cream is Real
Ah yes, the golden age of Saturday Night Live. Before ex-members of All That turned up every skit, and women were hired (apparently) only for their looks, we had a glorious sketch parodying the awkwardness of NPR talk shows. Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon starred as a hilariously vested duo with awful haircuts who interviewed …

Deep Fried Gum
How was your Labor Day? WAS IT AWESOME? I'm sorry for yelling, but as you know, I love American holidays. I may be a left-wing communist Obama-loving hippie, but give me a tiny American flag and a cheeseburger BBQ and I will shout/sing The National Anthem all night (people love when you sing the National …

50s Coffee Ads are Hilariously Abusive
I've never really understood the hipster fashion fads of today. Everyone seems to be trying to emulate the LEAST attractive styles of the past century, like the late 80s and early 60s and the whole entire flapper era. Why would you pick the most cringe-worthy retro styles to bring back? Why not bring back the …

Deep Fried Butter
If you'll recall, I was more than thrilled this year to find out that the San Diego County Fair was featuring a new fried treat - fried Kool-Aid. I mean, fried foods are my vice. Fried pickles, fried Oreos, fried Snickers bars, fried funnel cake.... you name it, I'll eat it. But even I was …

Miracle Whip Hosts Terrible Contest That Doesn't Make Any Sense
HAHAHA! Because you know how sometimes you're like "I LIKE THIS KIND OF MAYONNAISE!" and then your husband is like "BUT I DON'T LIKE IT!" and then you guys hate each other and have to go through an expensive and emotionally taxing life event that can cause depression, bankruptcy, psychological turmoil and sometimes suicide? GOOD …

Girl Cries Over In-N-Out
I was unaware of it when I woke up this morning, but apparently today is GIRLS EMBARRASSING THEMSELVES DAY in America, because everywhere I've been on the internet has featured cringe-worthy (but hilarious, obviously) videos of young women doing things that I imagine they will slap themselves for later. I mean, we started off so …
