Clamato Tortilla Chips

Oh yes... yes... the foulness of the world has reached new heights, ladies and gentlemen.

So a month or so ago, I was headed out of town to spend the day with friends. I stopped off at a gas station mini-mart to grab an energy drink, some water, and some snacks for the road (I think I was PMS'ing and craving salty goodness). I usually pick up some of the TGIFridays chips, but this little blue bag in the midst of other plain white ones... well, curiosity got the better of me so I bought it (not without buying other snacks since there is always a chance of non-enjoyment of other snacks... so that's what you do - or *I* do - I get at least ONE snack I know I'll enjoy and get something else as well that I might like... nothing wrong with extra snacks, my friend).

Well, I went on my friend excursion and ended up not eating the chips. I took them home and after a few days, I saw them in the kitchen on the snacks shelf and thought, "Hey, I might as well try these."

My friends... listen to me... JUST SAY NO TO CLAMATO TORTILLA CHIPS!

I held the bag... I opened the bag... and I picked a chip... I put that chip in my mouth... and I made myself finish chewing and swallowed. Oh goodness. Not good. Admittedly I ate a total of two chips to make sure, but really... one was enough. How the FUCK can you make a chip taste exactly like the drink? I think the only time I've had Clamato was mixed with Puccin (did I spell that right?), and for some reason my tastebuds didn't gag. The chips, however... after the two, I tossed the bag in the trash.

They don't even LOOK a tasty color. YUCK!

Would I try it again?: Hell no!

Bossa Nova Acai Juice

Now I'm strictly a pomegranate gal, myself, but like this blog states, I like trying new things.

In all honesty, I have tried acai-fruit juice before... but as I had observed before about how pomegranate becoming the next IN-fruit (before it was the cranberry I believe with its anti-oxidant madness), now... it's the acai berry.

And this post brings to you... BOSSA NOVA ACAI FRUIT JUICE.

What is açai? Açai (ah-sci-ee) is a rainforest berry - a small, dark purple fruit that grows on palm trees on the floodplains of the Amazon basin. Recent scientific study has earned it the enviable title of “world’s healthiest fruit” in part, because it is likely to be the world’s highest antioxidant fruit.

Now, in looking at the bottles, I'm forced to think of POM (pomegranate juice, straight and mixed with other flavors). Bossa Nova is doing the same thing. There is straight up acai-juice... then there are mixes (I only tried mango and raspberry). I have to say that even though I enjoy me some acai-juice, I love me my POM better. (And you get to keep the snazzy glass the drinks come in... I have a nice collection.)

Acai-juice is tart... and purple... and yummy... but I still like pomegranate more.

Would I try it again?: Yeah, of course. It's still good juice, but it just wouldn't be my first choice.
