Happy Great Living!!!!!

Two radical new products have hit the shelves, blazing taste fury.



Blak, the new energy drink by Coke, calls itself a fusion drink. This usually means a truckload of corn syrup, three football fields of caffeine and a dank flavoring to hide the disgusting amalgam of caffeine and corn syrup.

Blak is actually good. It is a cross between slightly flavored coke and coffee. I picked up a bottle at Mitsuwa, my local Japanese grocery store. It did hit me with a good kick, and it was pleasant to drink. I see this a big seller.

Party Time!

Yeah, it's Party Time in the Wasser household! Break open some saki bottles!



Yee Hah! It's like a party in your mouth and everybody's coming!



Yeah, man! Crank up some Zeppelin and fire up a doob! We're gonna bring the house down.

Leave it to the Japanese to engineer a way to make a snack out of my favorite thing the whole world. Crabs.



This is a plastic bag full of roasted tiny crabs, glazed with a salty-sweet sesame crust. Definitely an acquired taste, but I am enthralled and fascinated by them. Hey, you know what makes Asian snacks so irresistable? MSG. It's taboo here, but all the snacks I bought had MSG in them. I didn't palpatate, I didn't faint, so I figure I'll live.

  • you and I are the only people I know who actually LIKE Coca-Cola Blak. I don't think most people can get past the whole "carbonated coffee" thing

  • It ain't half bad. Someone else I was talking to said it had an artificial coffee flavor, which is true, but it's Coke after all, so I expect artificial flavoring. That Chickenhead drink is actually real good, I made it up the other night. I can see it being a popular club drink.

  • Oh those crabs. They are a bit too sweet for my taste. Great crunch though. Made me feel like a giant when I was trying them.

  • It's sweet, then you taste salt and guts. Right On!
