In today’s market, if you choose any product, you will find “top dogs” of the market and “little players.” I had the opportunity today to test out the products of one of the little players in the sex (or more specifically condom) industry.
With such a widely used product, the competitors are obvious; Trojan, Durex, and the still, but less known Crown and Beyond Seven brands. Something I noticed about each of these companies, was variety. Thin, Superthin, Ultrathin, Megathin, Superultramegathin, Pineapple, orange, margarita. Of course some of those were made up by me, but regardless, I was shocked at the selection.
This is something this company definitely lacks, selection. With a choice of only 4 condoms, each of which barely differ from the one before it, there isn’t much opportunity to spice up your sex life. The point that they barely differ is something that bothered me the most, I feel as though if you put them all on a table next to each other, you would think they were all the same (for the most part)
In terms of how the condoms are themselves (aside from the obvious necessary protection). My opinions are as follows.
Original- Fine, and what you would expect, but needs some added lubricant, is a little dry
Mint- Thinner, and lubricated, nothing fancy, no need for much else
Pure- Thin, still very noticeable though.
Elite- Thin, very lubricated but not too much, best of the 4.
In the end I was disappointed with the company, and felt they could do a lot to improve their brand. The only point I could actually give to the company was that their condoms are significantly cheap, and besides that a 3 was the best I could do.

In today’s world, there isn’t much you can’t find on the internet. From clothes, to furniture, to spouses, logging onto your computer is quite literally having the world at your fingertips. So it shouldn’t surprise anybody, when a more common item can be found on the internet in abundance. Today I received one of these items as a gift, and now have the pleasure of reviewing it.
Popcorn can be looked at, much like Bubba looks at shrimp in Forest Gump. There are countless ways to make it, and numerous types of it to add onto that. The first thing I had to look at when receiving the product, seemed like the most obvious, yet it’s a problem many Americans face everyday; leftover kernels. And I was happy to say, it wasn’t a problem with Johnson’s popcorn.
In terms of look, the bucket isn’t the prettiest thing in the world, but you can change the style for a little extra. While, on the other hand I can see why many like the bucket the way it is, simplistic and old-fashioned, not enough things still like that today. So if it passed my first two basic tests, you may be wondering why did it only get a 5.5/10
When it comes down to it, this popcorn is good. Plain and simple. But the problem I had with it, was there was something about every flavor that could have been better. And by better, I’m generally talking about the “intensity of the taste.” Out of the four flavors I was sent, the Peanut Butter Crunch could have had a heavier peanut taste. The Cheddar Cheese flavor didn’t taste like much, aside from the small hint of a cheesy flavor. The chocolate drizzle was okay (much better frozen), and the caramel was a little weak.
I hate to give a semi-low review to a product I actually liked, but in my opinion there was much more they could be doing that they just aren’t. And for me, that’s minus enough points to bring this one down to 5.5/10.
Chocolate drizzle 4/10
Peanut crunch 5/10
Caramel- 7/10
Cheddar cheese 3/10

Without double entendres, we would lose most jokes, Shakespeare may not have been as recognized, and Two And a Half Men would never be allowed to stay on the air. But thankfully they do exist, and are the header of todays review.
With social media, and todays marketing, when something is (or in this case was) an idea that needed to be further recognized due to its “awesomeness” it thankfully is. In this classic example, you have part of a T.V. show (SNL to be specific) expanding one of its most famous skits into the food market.
In terms of what the product is actually like, it is good, but at a price. With a whopping 26 grams of sugar, it seems Ben & Jerry’s went a little too far to sweeten up this treat. The rum flavor smells way stronger then it tastes, and the malt balls make way too much noise when being eaten. And trust me when I tell you, the “ball” jokes get old quick
With all of that being said, I surprised even even myself, when giving it a 6/10. With all of the cons outweighing the pros, this one still snuck its way into my heart as a worthy addition to the Ben & Jerry’s line.

Since I’ve started the blog, I have gotten numerous emails either asking questions about, or asking me to review “the common fragrance.” By common fragrance I’m referring to axe, old spice, etc. rather than the more expensive branded cologne. So today, I decided to start with my personal favorite axe smell; Kilo
My first issue, with any products such as this, is the age factor. It’s great to have a quick spray and continue on with your day, but it’s hard not to feel like a 15 year old boy when doing so. Thats the first advantage with axe Kilo, in that it smells like a cologne rather than the quick spray of “something” that you get with most of the rest.
With the idea of keeping your manliness intact out of the way, and it comes down to it, to be honest I think Axe Kilo truly does go the distance. However, with a quickly fading smell, along with numerous other pros and cons, i’m split. And due to all of this I couldn’t think of anything else to rate this other than a 5/10
