SPOTTED: BANQUET CRISPY CHICKEN MEGA FILETS

October 16, 2024October 14, 2024 Marvo Leave a comment

Ever since these Banquet Mega products started coming out, I’ve wondered why
they weren’t under the Hungry-Man banner. Seems like a better fit. (Spotted by
Grant at Price Cutter.)

If you’re out shopping and see new products, snap a picture of them, and send
them in via an email (theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com) with where you found them and
“Spotted” in the subject line. Also, if you want to send in photos and are
wondering if we’ve already covered something or if they’re new, don’t worry
about it. Let us worry about it.

I believe if it’s “French-Style” it must be “Crème” and not “Cream.” (Spotted by

REVIEW: NESQUIK DJ KHALED ANOTHER BUN MILK

October 16, 2024October 15, 2024 Jenna Leave a comment

According to one of his more famous songs, all DJ Khaled does is win, win, win,
no matter what. So, I was eager to discover whether his new collaboration with
Nesquik, Another Bun ready-to-drink flavored milk, could be counted among those
victories. If you’re not familiar, DJ Khaled is a musician whose catchphrase is
“Another one!” (Interestingly enough, that’s my catchphrase too, but unlike the
good DJ, who uses it whenever he releases a new hit song, I just use it when
ordering more novelty junk food.) “Another Bun” is then, of course, a spin on
that alludes to the drink’s cinnamon bun flavoring.

Said cinnamon flavor was on full olfactory display when I screwed off the top
from my bottle and was met by a delicious churro-y smell. Aroma-wise, Another
Bun was on point, though I was slightly caught off guard by its appearance. I
expected a deeper, darker brown, but the color is more off-white. It looks more
like frosting than a bun itself. But as they say, don’t judge a bun by its
color. Or was that don’t judge a milk by its cover? In any case, I quickly
dispensed with the judging and commenced with the tasting.

Remember those unrealistic expectations I had for what the drink would look
like? Well, I’m sorry to say that maybe my judgmental attitude was warranted
after all because I was similarly underwhelmed by the flavor. I was expecting a
buttery, indulgent, almost overpowering sweetness like that of a Cinnabon.
However, this reminded me more of the dry, nearly tasteless cinnamon bun that I
was recently served at a fancy but stuffy café. Listen, subtle flavors have
their time and place, but I just don’t think they’re a fit for any product whose
mascot is a totally rad life-size rabbit!

What I’m saying is I wanted more from Another Bun. It gets points for its
smooth, creamy texture and fundamental decentness, but it just didn’t taste very
different to me than Nesquik’s existing vanilla variety. Yes, there was a hint
of nice cinnamon-y warmth and spice, but it wasn’t strong enough to override the
primary flavor: milk. Specifically, weirdly artificial-tasting milk. I wish I
could compare this to the Cinnamilk left at the bottom of a bowl of Cinnamon
Toast Crunch, but it reminded me more of that
hard-to-put-a-finger-on-but-impossible-to-ignore synthetic tang of a bottled
protein shake. After searching through what felt like an endless amount of
beverage coolers to find this flavor (was DJ Khaled’s persistent shouting of
“Another one!” actually just foreshadowing how many stores I’d have to go to to
buy the dang thing?), I was disappointed by how mild and unmemorable it was,
especially in comparison to DJ Khaled’s ostentatious personality. I do have to
admit that the art on the bottle is absolutely awesome, but it’s probably not a
great thing for a consumable product when the best part about it is its
disposable packaging!

Needless to say, even if I could track this thing down again, I would not
purchase “Another one!”

REVIEW: MONSTER ULTRA VICE GUAVA

October 15, 2024October 15, 2024 Marvo Leave a comment

Looking back at our Monster Ultra reviews, every single one has been positive.
And, spoiler alert, I will give Monster Ultra Vice Guava another high rating.
How high? You’ll just have to read on or scroll down to the bottom of this
review.

Monster Ultra Vice Guava sounds like a video game collaboration between Fruit
Ninja, Grand Theft Auto, and a Kaiju game. But it’s much better than calling it
Ultra Red Orange. You see, before, Monster was all about using colors to name
its zero sugar energy drinks: Blue, Black, Red, Violet, and Gold. But recently,
it seems like a lot more thought has been put into them: Peachy Keen, Strawberry
Dreams, Fantasy Ruby Red, and now this one.

Here’s what the can says:

> “Miami has it all, mind-blowing Latin energy, premier racing from NASCAR to
> F1, and world class beaches with the hottest clubs right on the sand. Whether
> you’re an over-the-top partier or an undercover crime fighter in a pastel
> suit, T-shirt, and loafers-you gotta stay energized! From South Beach to Calle
> Ocho, looking good and feeling good is what it’s all about. With zero sugar to
> weigh you down, the fresh taste of perfectly ripened guava, and our
> world-famous Monster Energy Blend, Ultra Vice Guava has you covered!”

There’s definitely an 80s Miami Vice style going on with the can, thanks to the
pink and teal colors and the graphics. What’s Miami Vice? It was a 1980s cop
show that lasted for five seasons on NBC. I’m pretty sure it’s streaming
somewhere. There was also a movie adaptation of the show in 2006 with the same
name.

While the can’s design brings a very old show to mind, the drink’s flavor makes
me think of Monster Juice Pipeline Punch, one of my favorite Monster Energy
products of all time that has a mix of guava and passion fruit flavors. Vice
Guava is straight-up guava, and if it wasn’t for its non-juice consistency, I
might’ve been convinced this was part of the Monster Juice line based on its
great tasting and natural flavor. Also, as I’ve experienced with other Ultra
varieties, it’s hard to detect the artificial sweeteners.

Monster Ultra Vice Guava is another zero sugar energy drink winner, and it’s
currently my favorite in the Ultra line.

DISCLOSURE: I wrote this review based on cans I purchased, but later received a
free product sample from Monster. Getting it did not influence my review.

Purchased Price: More than one should pay on eBay
Size: 16 fl oz can
Purchased at: eBay

Nutrition Facts: 10 calories, 0 grams of fat, 370 milligrams of sodium, 5 grams
of carbohydrates, 0 grams of sugar, 2 grams of erythritol, 0 grams of protein,
and 150 milligrams of caffeine.
