Fruit Loops Box

By Jordan Thompson
WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM
It’s scary how one box of cereal can define your whole breakfast existence! Kellogg’s Fruit Loops have been around since the early sixties unlike me who was an 80’s baby. Toucan Sam is one of the most recognizable character brands and also has a slogan “Follow Your Nose” that is hard to forget when you have been eating Fruit Loops for as long as I have. So what is it about this cereal brand that still has me all hot and heavy for them after all these years? Read the rest of this entry »

Lollipops

By Heather Blanchette
WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM
My apartment is my own little candy shop. My roommates and I have a bowl of cookies on the kitchen table, a platter with M&M’s, starbursts and Hershey Kisses next to the TV and an over sized bowl filled with every kind of lollipop imaginable on the bookshelf. Let’s just say CVS and Shaw’s have made quite a bit of money from us this semester.

We have those mini Dum Dum Lollipops, because you can eat three for the same amount of calories as a big Dum Dum (which apparently I thought was amazing when I bought a super sized bag of them). We have Tootsie Roll Pops, and mini Tootsie Roll Pops, and we have those giant round lollipops with crazy flavors like buttered popcorn (gross!). Read the rest of this entry »

Ice Cream

While eating my blackened toast this morning, I realized I hated breakfast. This realization made my stomach feel like I had eaten an entire quarry, and no that’s not just because my toast was hard as a rock.

I’m sick of breakfast; I’m sick of toast and butter, I’m sick of bagels and cream cheese, and I’m sick of sugared cereals all the way to healthy cereals that tastes like sandpaper. I’m sick of all of it…

 Except for…The Breakfast Of Champions! Read the rest of this entry »

Movie Theater Popcorn

By Jordan Thompson

So today when one of our top writer Heather Blanchette said to me you should write about Movie Candy, I said to myself thats a great idea, I’m glad I thought of it! People are always complaining how going to the movies is to expensive, and how they remember when movie pictures were only 10 cents for an all day marathon! Well I hate to be the one to inform the older generation, but it is 2008 and actors and actresses are making 20 million a picture, so sorry Grandma!

Chick-fil-A 

By Heather Blanchette 
WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM
If you had asked me a few days ago which fast food restaurant is my favorite, I would have said Chick-fil-A, hands down. However, as of yesterday, I’m feeling a little guilty about my answer.

I’m sure most of you, aside from Jordan who has apparently been living underground his whole life, have eaten at a Chick-fil-A. You know how good their waffle fries taste, you wonder about the necessity of the strategically placed two, not three, pickles on the chicken sandwich and you ogle at the huge, delicious shakes (yet often choose not to order them because you feel guilty holding up the line for twenty minutes while the underpaid seven year old behind the counter makes it).

Ben and Jerry's

By Heather Blanchette

WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM
We’ve been dating for the last six months, we spend every night together, me, Ben and Jerry. There is no other brand of ice cream that I would rather spend so much quality time with. We watch TV together, do homework together, and watch movies in bed together; there is nothing Ben, Jerry and I don’t do. Read the rest of this entry »

Cheesecake

WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM

Lots of things come in boxes: Nike SB’s, Trivial Pursuit and if you’re on a diet-your lunch. But none of these compare in both quality and taste to JELL-O’s No-Bake Desserts. JELL-O has found a way to make your life easier, whether you want Cherry Cheesecake, Home style Cheesecake, Real Cheesecake (as opposed to Fake I assume…), or Strawberry Cheesecake.

Fruit Dip 

By Heather Blanchette

WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM

 

Today began like any other day: 6 hours of sleep, up early to work on homework, hunch-backing to class with twenty pounds of papers, notebooks and snacks slung over my shoulder, but then in class I made a party foul. Now I am not a very graceful person, but I do try pretty hard to watch myself. However, when you combine lack of sleep, with too much caffeine, with nerves from giving a presentation, it equates to nothing but bad news.

During our luxuriously long and relaxing five minute break given to us as a treat to split up our three hours of sitting in the most uncomfortable desks in a room with poor lighting and curious carpet stains, I pulled out my super cute Little Mermaid container filled with grapes – because obviously my lack of sleep skews my perception of what I am actually going to want as a snack later in the day.

While my tummy grumbled, and the teacher stood watching the minutes tick by on his watch, as to not waste a second more of class time, I ever so carefully knocked the entire, very full container of grapes off my desk. Read the rest of this entry »

Cheetos Puffs      VS    Jax Puffs

By Jordan Thompson
WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM
There can only be one true puff in the world of cheese puffs, but which one is truly better?  Since we started this blog it seems the thought of food and snacks has taken a hold of my thinking.  Realizing the possibilities are truly endless the thoughts of what brands are better and what snacks I should get my stoner friends hooked on, never lets up!

Hershey Kisses

By Kelly Thompson
WE MOVED TO THE NEW TASTYMADNESS.COM
I would like to share my first recipe.  This recipe is called “back-up” and have several hundred of these.

It’s 3:00 a.m. and it’s time for a little snack.  Sleeping has gone well up to this point but now  sugar is needed to get through til 6:00a.m. or so.  It’s imperative that you have a night stand for this.  Purchase a bag of Hershey’s Kisses and stick them in the drawer of your night stand.  Upon waking, remove several, I like at least six, open them all at once and shove them all in your mouth.
