April 28 2005 -- Silly gentiles..Crispy-O's are for Jews.

On to the tasting. I pour my bowl of Crispy-O's and take a sniff. Not bad...sugary, which is always a good sign. I taste one without milk, it's decent, I can handle this flavor. I wouldn't say its anywhere near as good as a frosted Cheerio but I'll make due for the week. Now is the true test, I pour my milk into the bowl. You don't notice this when the Crispy-O's are sitting in the milk but they are actually melting! That's right, after about 10 seconds in there they become slightly soft and mushy only to get worse the longer they are in there. They should call this sugared slop: Soggy-O's. When I put a spoonful of this melted cereal in my mouth it's not a bad taste but I think I could have put some sugar on a piece of Matzah and dipped it in milk and almost enjoyed it as much (which is very little). The other problem with this cereal is a problem I've experienced with other cereals, although not nearly as bad as this one. It doesn't last! By that I mean, that it doesn't satisfy my hunger very long. I could have a bowl of this and I'll be starving in two hours and not just normal starving; starving like, holy f why am I so f'in hungry I need to eat now or I'm going to collapse and die of starvation. So it pretty much makes me hungrier than before I ate it. Interesting stuff. This cereal just earned itself a minus half cheese. How, you ask? I have it on my desk here and I just realized that when I turned the box on its side to read it, that crap at the bottom of the cereal came out of the bottom of the box (after some investigation I found that there was a hole at the bottom of the bag in the box, AWESOME!) and is now all up in my keyboard. I doubt any bugs wanna eat this so I probably have nothing to worry about, but a minus half cheese nonetheless. Bottom line, this cereal is ok for Passover and I like sugar so that will help it out when it comes time to hand out the cheeses.

April 26 2005 -- I'm third.
Pepsi used to be known for doing their own crazy things, breaking the trend and trying out new products. Unfortunatly for them those products constantly failed just about every single time. Pepsi Kona (which I have actually tried, my area was one of only a handful of places in the country they tested it out in), Crystal Pepsi, and Pepsi Blue just to name a few. Lately they seem to have given up on their creative streak and decided to follow behind the market leader Coke. Pepsi with Lemon (Pepsi Twist), Pepsi with vanilla, that Pepsi Edge stuff (low calorie thing like Coke C2) and now Pepsi with Lime. Not much fun. Oh, they did have Pepsi Holiday Spice, I'll give them credit for that one.

April 24 2005 -- Not quite new, but good.
Before I had plans this weekend I thought I would be coming home from work on Friday and settling into a nice routine of watching anime and playing videogames. As things would have it those plans were hijacked and instead of sitting in my room I went into NYC to see the Yankees game. What terrible seats we had, but at least they were free. I mean, second row? It's like I was a commoner. There were actually people in front of us, between us and the field. I guess it's good to have a taste of the common person life every once in a while though, helps you relate better to them. If it was the team I was reviewing then the Yankees would get a whopping 1 cheese. They stunk. Go from second place last year to last place this year. At least Matsui looked cute in his number 55 right in front of us. You can't quite see it in that blurry picture there but that number 55 does have some nice buns. The Japanese tourists were going crazy over him.
But that's not the meat of this review. Ha ha. Leaving the game and taking a train down to Union Square we came across one of the many Wendy's restaurants scattered across Manhattan. There I found the legendary sandwich that has everyone talking, the Mozzarella Chicken Supreme. I know it's a few years old but it's a limited time only thing and I had never had one before. It's a pretty heavy sandwich when you get it, there is a lot more to it then your standard McDonalds and Burger King burgers. The quality of the chicken is also top notch. Or maybe not top notch but fried crispy enough that you don't care. The lettuce was also good and crunchy, just like it should be, no flaccid greens here. The mozzarella was also a good addition, also a bit necessary given the name. In all I would have to say this is one of the better fast food sandwiches out there. Not quite as amazing as when I first had the Rodeo Burger at Burger King 7 years ago but it's better then most of the garbage out there right now, especially the Enormous Omelet Sandwich and the Apprentice Burger (which I would post a link to but the review was lost in the Second Great Server Crash of 78west).
This thing gets 4 cheese from me. It is a great sandwich and I would go back for more. Actually, when I finished it that night I was already ready to go back and have another one. Why not 5 cheeses? It didn't surpass the Rodeo Burger, that’s all, but that one set a high bar for me.



Ryan, however, gives it 5 cheeses. It's his favorite fast food food ever and nothing can compare to it for him. So for all those who want to see it get the 5 cheese rating, here you are.




Oh, and McDonalds in NYC delivers. How convenient. If only they had that here I'd have to move even less when I wanted a Happy Meal.
