ROCKSTAR SUPER SOURS - BUBBLEBERRY & GREEN APPLE

So there's this deli near my work. Sometimes I go there if I have enough time, and I haven't had breakfast, and my stomach lets me know that it ain't havin' that kind of thing.

It was there that I first found Bubbleberry... which in all honesty wasn't all that impressive save the pretty colors. It kinda tasted sour, and I've grown accustomed to the general energy drink flavor so it just tasted like a flavored Rockstar to me.

Green Apple on the other hand...

I've talked about my love for sour stuff before - mostly in the realm of candy - but "Super Sours" intrigued me. I chugged Bubbleberry with no problem. Green Apple though... that was actually sour tasting. It kind of reminded me of a Jolly Rancher.

As far as the flavor, I'm not a real green apple fan. I mean, they're good for baking and all, but I was always more a red delicious sort of gal. And green apple in other things - like Jolly Ranchers - were never my taste of choice. This, however, made me happy.

Maybe it had something to do with it actually tasting significantly different than just an energy drink as well as green apple.

Maybe it had something to do with Bubbleberry being a bit of a disappointment.

I wonder if they'll come out with any others in the line.

Now I'm not going to bother going over the calorie intake as well as portions because we already know it's really not healthy for you and that portions are frakkin ridiculous when it comes to things like this. I'm surprised it doesn't say you've consumed so many calories by just holding the damn can.

But is that gonna make us stop drinking the damn things? Probably not.

Would I ever try this again? I would, and I have. Bubbleberry? Probably not.

Doritos JACKED: Ranch Dipped Hot Wings

Hey there! Long time no try something new.

So here I am.

While at work today, I had a hankering for a large soda. At the start of my lunch, I headed over to a nearby 7-Eleven to grab a Gulp of the Super variety. Feeling a little drowsy, I also grabbed a couple Rockstars (which I'm not sure why I even get those since I'm not sure they do anything for me.

When driving? Yeah.

When just sitting? Less likely.

I had spotted a few new Doritos flavors so on my way back to the register - beverages in hand - I grabbed two bags of chips.

First up? ranch dipped hot wings. (looks at bag) Oh wait. I mean RANCH DIPPED HOT WINGS!

I'm still trying to learn how to eat hotter (as in spicier) things, but it's a slow process for me. I'm still a noob, but the desire is there. I see stuff and think "That looks tasty." Then I see jalapenos or chilis or whatever and get all kinds of "oh gawd, that's gonna melt my mouth and make me poop liquid fire for days".

So here I sit... an open bag of Doritos before me... and trying some chips that are like the regular size Doritos on steroids.

I've eaten a few so far, and yeah... not too terribly impressed. I mean, I'm dealing with powerloss at the moment (time of the month to start soon though the PMS salty cravings have begun early as usual). They're tasted, but I'm not getting JACKED as the wordage on the bag proclaims. I can't really taste the ranch much although there is something there with the hot wingy-ness. It's not bad... just not anything special.

I'm not gonna bother anymore with the calories and all that since it's frakkin DORITOS!

And did you know Doritos contains milk ingredients. Really? Not MILK... but MILK INGREDIENTS.

And the part that makes me giggle a little? The "Guaranteed Fresh" notation that says if it's not fresh by the freshness date on the pack... "this snack's on us". Questions or Comments? 1-800-352-4477 - Weekdays 
9:00am to 4:30pm, Central Time. Please provide product name, bag size, date, price and numbers found below price for each package.

Seriously. The bag was like a buck something. Who the frak is gonna call with all that information to say their snack sucked and they want their (looks at bag) $1.49 back.

*rollseyes*

Would I ever try this again? Yeah. Why not? I don't think I'm ever gonna be overcome with a need to sate this craving NOW kind of feeling, but if it's all they have left in a mini-mart as I scavenge for snacks during a zombie apocalypse? I wouldn't say no.
