So Have you ever opened a pack of hot dog buns and found a mutant roll? Most people will just preform an operation to create one roll. Whats the fun in that? if you plan on eating two hot dogs why not make it interesting? Plus you save eating time as well.
Welcome back to the candy bar line up! This time we take a look at plain ole chocolate bars. We have been wanting to find a Nestle bar for some time now, never would have though to check to dollar store.
Hershey has a strong rep here. The fact that is comes in my varieties helps it win. (kisses, minis etc) As far as Nestle, well the chocolate is a part of our favorite bars like Chunky and Baby Ruth.
When opening the bars I noticed that the Nestle bar seemed thinner but the large Nestle logo looks much better than the Hershey titled logo. The Nestle bar is one piece unlike the scored Hershey making the Nestle bar a bit of a mess to eat when breaking off a piece. This also tells me something.
Hershey = share Nestle = MINE!
The Hershey is definitely the winner. Sadly the Nestle bar didn’t have the smoothness or sweetness that the Hershey is known for. The Hershey weighing in at 1.55oz and the Nestle at 1.45oz it doesn’t seem like a big difference But the Nestle felt and appeared thiner. When biting in it cracked up and flaked.
So the winner this time is Hershey. Nestle we love the Chunky bar but by itself the chocolate is weak.

For the record I’m pretty sure we say “twenty eleven” so practice. We wish everyone a happy and 2011. Grab a glass of wine drink up and begin a new year. A new year to make better choices or worse choices..I guess it depends how 2010 went for you. If you had a great 2010 perhaps 2011 is the year for you to really mess up.
Now of course our new year resolution is to blog more. Perhaps we will. In return I hope that everyone interacts with us as much as you did last year. Keep you eyes on this site friends. 2011 may bring contests, free shwag and free directions on how to get said things or not, who knows.
Remember YOU too can be a part of Toilet Blogs! If you see something worth blogging send it our way. We will give you credit if you like.
Thank You all and good day
After one of our bloggers posted a link to www.stevenseagal.com and told everyone that it’s “Your one stop shop for bad. Bad acting, bad music, bad clothing and even bad energy drinks.” It refreshed our bowls about a past post. A post that dated back to August 2008. After a little digging it was found and here it is resurrected for you reading enjoyment
Redbull gives you wings.
Rockstar makes you party like one.
Monster releases the “monster” in you.
Steven Seaguls Lighting bolt? Well I guess makes you:
Act poorly
Squint your eyes
Eat everything in sight
No thanks Steven
Remember the days when you would go into a public restroom and come out refreshed armed with temporary tattoos, pocket sized glow stick and a couple tylenols? It seems that those days are over but some places help us remember.
So there I was in my local KFC. I just downed a double down and suddenly felt the urge to purge. After I washed up I noticed this vintage vending machine in the mirror. My eyes went immediately to the three option at the bottom. As I decided between the glowsticks, temporary tattoos and the extra strength Tylenol I grabbed four quarters out of my pocket. To my surprise the coin slot had tape over it, tape that was holding up the ad for fresh KFC cookies.
Why tape over it and get people hopes up? It would have been more effective to rip the machine off the wall and just tape a bigger ad over the holes in the wall.

So we are doing our part in saving paper. However there is a difference in saving paper and being cheap, or stupid. This tale comes from the drug store involving an emailed coupon. These days retailer like to electronic mail coupons to their customers. That way they can send them up to date coupons and deals throughout the year.
Here’s the set up. A customer is getting ready to pay for her stuff at the counter and she starts to present her wad of coupons to the cashier. The first coupon she pulls out is a very odd one. The cashier asks the customer “whats this?” She explains to him that she wanted to save paper and decided to write down the coupon information on a piece of notebook paper instead of printing out the coupon. She also expressed how she thought that its ridiculous that companies force their customer to print out coupons to bring to the store and that it’s a waste of paper.
The cashier got their supervisor to deal with this lady. She was told that they need an official coupon to send back to their office in order to receive the credit for it. She didn’t understand. It was explained to her that just about anyone could write down a coupon like this. She continues to say that she wanted to save paper….if she wanted to save paper they why did she write down the info on a PIECE OF PAPER? Why didn’t she write it down on her arm or a shoe? It was explained to her again that if they excepted this coupon that the cashier and the supervisor would get in trouble. Each of them could possibly loose their jobs and they were not going to take it. The customer freaks out, throws the coupon on the counter and storms out. Of course as she storms out she ranting about the waste of paper.
Here’s a question. Is printing out a coupon that you would use at the store a waste of paper? The piece of paper does serve a purpose. Even if you grabbed a blank piece of paper and crumbled it up into a ball and used it to take shots at a trash barrel, you’re not wasting it. You just played a game and the paper served a purpose.
I think a real waste of paper would be grabbing a blank sheet from a ream and throwing it out.
Browsing through the gift card rack the other day I ran across this $88.00 AMEX gift card with some kind of asian dragon on it. Even though 88 the number isn’t odd, I feel the gift card is. This wasn’t in a chinatown of a major city that I came across this. In fact it’s a heavily white area by 98.38% and asians only make up 0.45%.
What is the meaning of the number 88? Something to do with those crazy ninjas in Kill Bill?
Don’t worry, research was done.
“88 (eighty-eight) is the natural number following 87 and preceding 89“ Good to know but that doesn’t help here
“88 is used as shorthand for ‘hugs and kisses’ when signing a message in Amateur (ham) Radio. It is used in spoken word (radiotelephony) morse code (radiotelegraphy) and in various digital modes. It is considered rather more intimate than ’73′, which (roughly) means ‘best regards’, and therefore 73 is more often used. The two may be used together. Sometimes the 88 or 73 is pluralized by appending an s, which is incorrect. These number codes are at least a century old.” That just might hold up here if there was “xoxox” on the card, not a dragon.
Eighty-eight is used as code among Neo-Nazis to identify each other. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 is taken to stand for HH which in turn means Heil Hitler. Again…good to know but highly unlikely to be the meaning here.
I think the winning meaning it this one…
88 symbolizes fortune and good luck since the word 8 sounds similar to the word Fā (发, which implies 发财, or wealth, in Mandarin). The number 8 is considered to be the luckiest number of all in Chinese culture and prices in Chinese supermarkets can often be found containing many 8′s.
The Chinese government has even been auctioning auto license plates containing many 8s for tens of thousands of dollars. The 2008 Beijing Olympics opened on 8/8/08 at 8 p.m.
Amazing how a number can stand for so many things, both negative and positive. We went from just a number to hugs and kisses then to neo nazis and ended up with good luck.
How do you ask? Let us explain. Here at Toiletblogs we are all car geeks. Make it fast and crank the tunes. Throughout our young years as drivers we have spent thousands of dollars to make that car shake with music. It’s a hobby and a lifestyle.
A podcast is a radio show that you can either stream off the Internet or download. Remember this please. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE AN iPod to listen to a podcast. Pod stands for Playable On Demand, thats just a fun fact for you. Itunes does have a big library of podcast to choose from and thats why people connect Ipods with podcasts.
Back to the topic. Listening to podcasts will save you money. All that crazy car stereo equipment really isn’t needed when listening to a talk radio show. Lets face it, it sounds like you’re there. Unless the podcast is about spending money, like shopping or building something you’re most likely not going to go out after and drop some bucks on “stuff”. I’ve noticed that since I got into a variety of different podcasts I am spending less time at the record store or purchasing songs and albums on iTunes or Amazon. Instead I wok away from the radio filled with knowledge.
What interests you? Browse the web of the iTunes podcast section, you never know what you’ll find.
Watermelon flavor? I think not
Ok we all have had our share of watermelon gum. Everyone likes watermelon gum. Here’s a thought. Does it really taste like watermelon? Our sources say not. When was the last time you enjoyed a fresh watermelon, probably last summer and what does it taste like? Like that gum? No mostly like water. Then again would people buy gum that tasted like water?
There are far to many questions in this post.
We want your input on this topic. Tell us your thoughts on the artificial water melon flavor.
We will pick a random comment on this blog post TO WIN A GRAB BAG OF WATERMELON GUM!
