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.

BevNerd Tribute - Yorkie Bar

On today's BevNerd tribute post I'll be reviewing the Yorkie Bar from the UK - it's not for girls. I don’t know why this bar is “only for girls,” but I bought one anyways. Take that, Nestle UK! To see Jason from BevNerd's review of this bar check out the video at the end of this post. For more info on the Yorkie bar and to see what it looks like out of the package visit the Wikipedia page.

This is a 100% milk chocolate bar. It’s sort of like a Hersey’s bar but the sections are much larger. Honestly, one of the sections is kind of a lot of chocolate to eat in one bite. I bit mine in half. But maybe that’s just because I’m a girl and I can’t handle it, or something. The whole bar is a substantial amount of chocolate. I started eating it because I had a candy craving and let me tell you, this definitely satisfied my craving. The bar was pretty good. It doesn’t taste like Hersey’s. It tastes a little like the “chocolate flavored” candy you get at Christmas and Easter. If you like milk chocolate, and want a serious amount of chocolate, I recommend this. Just don’t expect it to be the best chocolate you’ve ever had.

BevNerd Tribute - Zapp's

Hello junkfoodies and fellow BevNerdians! Welcome to the first review of my BevNerd tribute week. For more info on the tribute, visit this post.

The first review I'm going to do is of Zapp's Spicy Cajun Crawtators. Jason from BevNerd reviewed these on January 28th Episode 33. You can watch his review below, at the end of my post. I've been assured by my former-Louisiana-inhabiting boyfriend that Zapp's Spicy Cajun Crawtators are a Louisiana brand. This means 2 things. 1) The closer you are to Louisiana the cheaper they'll probably be and 2) they taste pretty authentic. I bought mine from World Market so I knew they were going to be a little pricey. They definitely don't break the bank or anything though.

These chips are kettle cooked, which I love, so they’re nice and crunchy and satisfying. When I opened my bag I noticed that mine were a different color from Jason’s. Mine were darker and way more seasoned. I tasted much more of the spices than he did. They taste almost like a barbeque chip with some zing (or zap, if you will). I don’t know how many of you have tried Tony Chachere’s seasoning but this chip tastes like it was lightly seasoned with Tony’s. If you haven’t tried Tony’s, this chip does have a cajun taste and some spice. If you’re partial to kettle cooked chips and/or cajun spices I definitely recommend these. They are really good!

BevNerd Tribute

Hey there junk-foodies! If you watched the video below you know that I am going to be doing a BevNerd tribute. I've decided to do this NEXT WEEK. I was going to start last monday, then today, buuut... I'm going to be lazy, and start next Monday.

I got an amazing Moon Pie hat in the mail (pictured to the right) last week. Thanks to Jason from BevNerd for that! I thought that this would be the perfect time to end the blog's unintentional hiatus. I didn’t mean for this to happen, I just got wrapped up in my new job (yay job!) I wanted to come back with a bang and what better way to do that than with a BevNerd tribute!

What exactly does this tribute mean? Well, a while back I made a post about BevNerd, a video podcast that I subscribe to on iTunes. Check out his website/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/iTunes podcasts. Since I posted about him we've been in touch and are great e-buddies. :) I've managed to find some of the products he's reviewed, so during my tribute I'll be reviewing products that he's previously reviewed. Yay tribute!

Be on the lookout for my first review MONDAY. It'll be there, I promise.

BevNerd

Video podcasts and free episodes of TV shows have become my new favorite past time. One of my favorite podcasts is BevNerd. The host, Jason, is from Alabama and reviews a beverage + a snack each video. He sometimes does more than one beverage or snack, and usually tells you about a promotion as well. I think he restocks vending machines (he sort of makes an allusion to that in an early episode) which is part of the reason why he has access to so many snacks and beverages. If you enjoy this blog (or don't and want to see someone do a better job) check out his website/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/iTunes podcasts. Do you all think I should make videos? I've considered carrying around my camera so that I can film myself at restaurants. Perhaps I'll give it a try. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
