I posted this to facebook just a few minutes ago: Dawn and I had never tasted an, “Oh Henry!” bar so we decided it was high time we did. Meh… tastes like a cheap version of Snickers. Shortly thereafter, someone commented asking if I had ever tried a Zero bar? My response was, “Never – [...]

May 18th, 2011 Chris Doelle Okay, so it is natural to slip when transitioning your diet from the high-fat, high-processed, high-sugar junk – so I guess I am not a complete failure. I went to see my doctor last night and felt like a nervous kid going to confession. I blurted out, “I totally blew it today with a coke [...]

May 2nd, 2011 Chris Doelle Longtime readers know I am a fan of documentaries. I especially like learning about how “the man is keeping us down.” Food, Inc. is not only a great lesson in that but, as someone who has taken a lot of time to educate himself on our food supply, sure to be on my suggested “must [...]

April 26th, 2011 Chris Doelle Okay, so I am not 100% on this Paleo Diet yet (see earlier post.) While I have done a good job when my wife is around, I tend to fall back into old patterns quickly without her to keep me honest. The major slip-up has been eating some potatoes (which are no-nos when trying to [...]

October 17th, 2010 Chris Doelle I pride myself on having a lot of knowledge combined with a large number of experiences. Because of that, when one of those little overlooked things always catches me by surprise. I mean, I have been to the top of mountains, spoken in front of thousands, sampled all manner of daring escapades – then why [...]

March 4th, 2010 Chris Doelle I have a history of posting on foods I find interesting. No brand has done more (well, maybe Mt. Dew) to try new things than Cheetos. Here is one of the latest from the fine folks at Lays – Wild Habanero Cheetos! Alright, I didn’t try them (I know I am letting you down there) [...]
Dr. Pepper does the right thing
February 18th, 2010 Chris Doelle Okay, they didn’t solve hunger or do anything to promote world peace, but Dr. Pepper did their part today by doing the right thing – no matter how small it is. I have been playing “Twist a Pepper” for years – you know the bottle of DP with “Sorry Try Again” or “Free 20 oz [...]
Marketing to kids – not just for cigarettes
November 17th, 2009 Chris Doelle Why is it wrong for Camel cigarettes to use a cartoon character and not for junk food companies to do the same? Think about it. Obesity is a much larger (pun intended) threat to the lives of America’s children than cigarettes. In 2008, an article reported by the BBC stated that of the 19 cartoon [...]

April 26th, 2009 Chris Doelle Recently, after trips to the grocery store, I really don’t want to eat any of the stuff I just bought. It used to be such a task trying to figure out what to start with when you unload. (Usually, the junk food would win out.) I don’t know if it’s because I am just not [...]

Spammers are at least more entertaining now
Remember the day when you would get a spam comment on your blog kinda like, “Great post,” or “well said,” and a link to some fast-cash-now scheme? Because the spam catching plugins are getting so much better, these doofs are forced to make their automated postings sound more real. The problem? When you have a [...]
