Every time we have the pleasure of receiving a new Game Of Thrones beer from Brewery Ommegang, it’s so tempting to just call the article “I Drink & I Know Things”. The wonderful people at HBO were kind enough to send us a bottle of their latest brew, this one called Mother of Dragons in […]
We’ve been so excited about getting the chance to experience Halloween time at Disneyland this year, specifically attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party (which we’re doing tonight!). Both Disneyland proper and California Adventures have been redecorated for the season, with fall harvest colors and pumpkins everywhere. Several of our favorite Disney characters have donned […]
If you didn’t get to swing by the Amazon Fire experience at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, you missed out on some pretty interesting TV-inspired mocktails. Eternal Sunrise, The Analyst: Jack Ryan, Fire TV & Ice, and The Night’s Watch were your choices, and they all sounded fabulous. But did they all taste fabulous? You’re about […]
This past weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, guests got to try some heroic ice cream at Petco Park! Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman all brought their sugary best, which made for some delicious treats. The Super Hero Ice Cream is the perfect summer treat, especially on a warm San Diego day.
It wouldn’t be a Comic-Con without existing brands getting a spinoff. Nutista is a San Diego nutbutter maker. And their new Nutista/Stone w00tstout Nutbutter is the nutty counterpart to Stone Brewing’s San Diego Comic-Con tribute beer, Drew Curtis/Wil Wheaton/Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout. Nutista/Stone w00tstout nutbutter is made with raw pecans, dry roasted peanuts, Belizian […]
El Chingon in San Diego is in the comic-con spirit this week! This hip and fun place has the drinks you need to make this SDCC one you’ll never forget. We’re dusting off our capes and gearing up for another #BadAss Comic-Con! Stop by Thursday through Sunday to sip on our avengers themed cocktails! A […]
Welcome to San Diego Comic-Con 2018, nerd food lovers. Today we checked out Havana 1920 at 548 Fifth Avenue in San Diego, where we had some delicious Cuban-inspired Avengers-themed drinks: The Mind Stone Mojito and the Asgardian Lager! A post shared by Havana 1920 (@havana1920) on Jul 18, 2018 at 4:50pm PDT Both were a solid […]
Maleficent is my favorite Disney villain. Her whole reason for being a jerk was because she wasn’t invited to a party, which raises some serious questions. The main one being: why would you snub her? She’s the most powerful fairy of them all. She probably would have bestowed some badass gift onto Aurora. But I […]
Nothing screams summer more than baseball in July — especially if you can spend the afternoon or evening at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, like I recently did. Without a doubt Camden Yards is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the MLB, and even if the O’s aren’t doing so hot, there’s still plenty […]
The first time I saw Up I cried my eyes out. I’m pretty sure most of you did too, so stop judging me! It is without a doubt one of Pixar’s best films to date, and it’s been celebrated all over the Disney Parks since its release. For the new Pixar Pier and Pixar Fest […]
File this one under “what the hell does this have to do with comics?!” Continuing to prove that it is, in fact, possible to be more offensive than selling what Papa Johns calls “pizza,” Papa Johns founder John Schnatter reportedly dropped the n-word during a conference call in May, according to Forbes. Even more incredibly, the “pizza” […]
Snacks at the Disney Parks are almost always out of this world. Even the most common ones — including s’mores — are created with love and magic. At The Ganachery you can indulge in some magical (and adorable) s’mores any time of the year. No campfire required! I’m a fan of The Ganachery, so if […]
The mikan is a small citrus fruit from Japan, also known as the satsuma orange. These pack a lot of flavor and are pretty good for you, and since they fall in the citrus family, most westerners will likely be warm to the idea of eating them. Sometimes you can find mikan in your local […]
Bananas are some of my favorite fruit. They’re healthy for you, and they have a nice, mild sweet taste. These banana omelette cakes from Japan Crate were enticing, but were they any good? Clearly these aren’t egg and banana omelettes, as one might think — they’re little cakes folded over with banana cream inside! These […]
I made the mistake of going to Target this weekend for shampoo — and as you may have guessed, I bought everything else too. Right now Mickey Mouse is in full force at Target, and I can’t deny my love of the main mouse himself. These Goldfish crackers caught my eye. For one, I do […]
Oh my cheese and crackers. Look. At. These. Ears. These adorable new ears were inspired by one of Disney’s most iconic in-park snacks: The Mickey Ice Cream Bar. Obviously I need a pair, more than I need the rose gold or millennial pink ears (which I still want). These are perfect for everyone who loves […]
Honestly, Jelly Belly jelly beans are what I think of first when I hear the word “candy”. They’re the perfect size, they’re delicious, and they come in a variety of flavors! Plus, this package has a dinosaur on it. That’s pretty damn cool. This pack comes with sparkling orange, sparkling very cherry, sparkling wild cherry, […]
Gabunomi Melon Cream Soda. Yep, that’s what I tried today. Yep, it was weird. In theory it’s supposed to taste like an ice cream float in a bottle. In practice it tastes like sugary syrup and regret. Seriously — this was not good. I normally like Japanese snacks and drinks, but this made me want […]
In short, these are plum-flavored chips. Seriously, guys. Plums. I was hesitant about trying them (though generally speaking I love ume — umeboshi onigiri is my favorite food), but because I love you and nerd food, I had to do what I had to do. The smell is sour and sweet and will literally punch […]
I love chocolate, and to a lesser extent, I also love dinosaurs. And lucky me — Jelly Belly has released a line of Jurassic World candy to coincide with the new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom movie! Today I got to try their Chocolate Dinosaur candy — a milk chocolate with crisped rice candy that even […]
