Denny’s Baconalia

I don’t know how many of you have seen this commercial, but if you haven’t, watch it now:



When I first heard of this, I said: ‘Bacon sundae? What? Ew… maybe.”

I’ll admit it, I was intrigued. I figured it would probably taste bad, though, for two reasons.

• At the South Carolina State Fair 2 years ago I tried chocolate covered bacon. It was nasty. I think it was mainly because it wasn’t fresh, crispy bacon though. It was cold, rubbery bacon – which is nasty in and of itself. So, there was hope for the idea. Perhaps it just wasn’t executed very well.
• There seemed to be a maple syrup topping. Forget the bacon – if you put maple syrup on vanilla ice cream I probably wouldn’t like it.
  

In the end, my curiosity won. Despite my doubts, my bf and I went to Denny’s. We read the description. We got a sample. And guess what? IT WAS AMAZING! Sooo good! I totally recommend this to everyone who eats meat and dairy!

Here’s a picture of our sample below. I didn’t get a picture of the whole dessert that we ordered. I was too busy eating it.


Why is this seemingly nasty dessert good? Let me break it down for you.

• Sweet & salty: Denny’s is not the first major chain to traverse this path. In fact, this is not the first time I’ve mentioned it on my blog. See my post here. Lots of chains and individuals are experiencing the joy of sweet and salty, so that’s +10 for Gryffindor.
  
• The maple syrup is more of a maple flavored sundae topping. More akin to caramel or butterscotch syrup than pancake syrup.
  
• Unlike my experiences at the state fair the bacon was fresh and crispy which acted sort of like meaty sprinkles.

Again, I recommend this to everyone. Go forth, and eat bacon. Let thy life be changed forever.

BevNerd Tribute

Welp, I think that's gonna do it for my BevNerd tribute. :) I didn't review the double cola but it's been so long since I've had it I don't have much too say about it. My bad. Hope you all enjoyed it! If you've watched the BevNerd videos I've posted and enjoyed them be sure to "like" BevNerd on Facebook!

New posts coming soon, be on the look out.

BevNerd Tribute - Haribo Happy-Cola Gummies

These gummies were a little disappointing. I didn’t expect them to super taste like cola, because Jason didn’t think they tasted too much like cola, but I still WANTED them to taste like cola. Oh well. In general, these were good gummies. If you like gummies these are definitely worth a shot. If you’re looking to satisfy a cola craving then pass.
