The Wonderful World of Pop-Tarts

-
So, if you're anything like me, you're really excited about the new, peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter Pop-Tarts that came out earlier this week. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, this is the best thing to happen to food since they double stuffed the Oreo.

But the invention of the peanut butter Pop-Tarts is hardly an isolated incident. Whoever invented the Pop-Tart was a freakin' genius! Besides being totally delicious, the Pop-Tart is, apparently, a good source of seven vitamins and minerals. I mean, you've got your Thiamin, your Riboflavin, your Niacin, and your Folic Acid. I'm not sure what that is, but Folic Acid is certainly better than non-Folic Acid, right?


Actually, when I was in 11th grade, my chemistry lab partner and I spent both semesters trying to sample all the flavors of Pop-Tarts currently on the market. We would each bring in a different flavor of Pop-Tarts and eat them during class. We had a list of flavors and everything.

Ah, the flavors. I don't know who comes up with the Pop-Tart flavors, but that's a job I'd like to have. Seriously, they should give out Nobel prizes for the best snack food flavors. You know what would win that prize? Chocolate fudge Pop-Tarts. If I had to pick one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be chocolate fudge Pop-Tarts. Well, it would be either that or Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, but, for the sake of this blog, let's say chocolate fudge Pop-Tarts. Then you have the cinnamon brown sugar flavor, the strawberry flavor, and the confetti cupcake flavor. When the confetti cupcake was invented, it was the first time in my life I could have both cake and Pop-Tarts for breakfast, which, you know, is everyone's nearest and dearest goal. And then they came out with that line of ice cream flavored Pop-Tarts. That's another goal right there.

All I'm saying is that the world of the Pop-Tart is a wonderful world. You have everything you could ever want in a neat, little foil package. The Pop-Tart franchise contains every color of the culinary rainbow.

Just sayin'

Disney Princesses from Best to Worst

-
Image
So, I recently saw a YouTube video that ranked all the Disney Princesses from best to worst, and I got really irritated with it because I thought the YouTuber got a lot of things wrong (although, to be fair, it really is a matter of opinion). So I decided to do my own Disney princess ranking from worst to best, you know, because that's how grown ups spend their time. (I know I said best to worst in the title, but it just sounds weird to say worst to best, so sorry for being one of those tricky people who writes misleading blog titles :P). Someone Needs an Attitude Adjustment Tinkerbell - I know that Tinkerbell isn't technically a Disney princess these days, but she was considered one of the original Disney princesses, so I'm going to include her here. I'm going to be honest here, I lover her, but Tinkerbell is an AWFUL person. I mean, she's jealous and spiteful and vain and she get's angry so easily. Not to mention that she totally threw Wendy under the...

The Trouble with Targaryen Eyebrows

-
Image
Those Eyebrows Though As you know, I have strong opinions about eyebrows . I also have strong opinons about Game of Thrones. Usually, those two things do not intersect, but today they do. Let's not dance around the issue here: Daenerys Targaryen has weird eyebrows. (If you don't watch Game of Thrones , this probably is total nonsense to you. In case you're interested, Daenerys Targaryen is one of the show's main characters. She is descended from a royal line that originated in Valyria. In the A Song of Ice and Fire books , Valyrians have very distinctive physical features: white hair and purple eyes. In the show, Daenerys (aka Dany) has white hair (a wig) but her eyebrows are dark brown -- mostly because the actress' natural hair is dark brown.) Anyway, if you watch Game of Thrones at all you know that Dany looks great in almost every episode and she's completely gorgeous and beautiful. However, the weirdness of her eyebrows is unavoidable. I know it,...

What Really Happened to Cedric Digory (The True Origin of the Twilight Series)

-

So, I was rewatching the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie the other day and I started to develop a theory. Cedric Diggory dies at the end of the movie in the graveyard, right? Well, what if he wasn't really dead. What if he just became [duh, duh, dun] a vampire. Ladies and gentlemen, I have just discovered the true origin of Edward Cullen. My first clue was that Robert Pattinson played both characters in the film adaptations. You think Robert Pattinson played Edward Cullen because he likes Twilight ? You're dead wrong. Robert Pattinson hates Twilight! The only reason he did Twilight was out of loyalty to Cedric's story line. Granted, it's one of the more bizarre character arcs in the Harry Potter series, but J.K. Rowling is richer than the Queen; she doesn't have to make sense. Here's what happened to Cedric: So, first off, Voldemort kills Cedric. Now, a lot of people think that Voldemort killed Cedric because Voldemort is just evil, but the tr...

What Happened to Ernest?

-

So, I've been required to read Frankenstein twice, once in college and once in high school, so I know that the book raises a lot of questions and themes, like the nature and importance of beauty and appearance in society and literature, what is considered monstrous in popular culture, the dangers of scientific exploration, etc, etc. But, to me, perhaps the most important question the book raises is what happened to Ernest ? In case you are unfamiliar with Frankenstein, let me give you a brief plot summary. Victor Frankenstein, the title character, decides that it's a good idea to build an eight foot tall quasi-man, animal creature while he's away at college. After he brings the creature to life, he has a freak out and runs away. After this, his creature, through a series of convoluted events, ends up killing everyone Victor cares about as revenge for Victor not creating a female creature for the monster. That is, everyone except Ernest. At the beginning of the book, V...

Disney Outfits from Best to Worst

A few months ago, I wrote a blog ranking Disney princesses best to worst (actually worst to best, but who pays attention to details like that), so, in the grand tradition of criticizing/ranking/generalized Disney love, I've decided to embark on a road where few dare to tread: ranking Disney princess outfits, and yes, that means ball gowns . Lots and lots of ball gowns. So here we go, Disney outfits from best to worst (actually, it's going to be worst to best, but we already talked about that). Ariel's Seashell Bikini Let's be clear here, Ariel doesn't actually wear clothes. She wears a sea shell bikini. Last time I checked, sea shells were not a valid form of clothing, they're organic calcium by products produced by snails and oysters that need tiny little houses. That's not clothes; we're not in a Lady Gaga music video here. Ariel does redeem herself later in the movie, but we'll get to that later. Ariel's Canvas Toga This is no...
