InstaCake brings greeting cards and cakes together

    I am a firm believer that you should not bake your own birthday cake. InstaCake is a bit different, you get a birthday cake and an individual mix to make your own cake with a candle. Mix and bake in your microwave. No mess, just eat in minutes. This is perfect for those far from their loved ones.

    Look out here comes Cup Noodle-flavored sodas

      Japan’s Vice reporter Hanako Montgomery has gracefully put her taste buds on the line to the test the new Cup Noodle-flavored sodas. Nissin, the makers of Cup Noodle is celebrating 50 years of keeping students’ food budgetary constraints afloat. Now imagine turning some of your favorite Cup Noodles into sodas. Roving reporter Hanako Montgomery braved for all of us to try these new soda flavors. The soda comes in four different flavors. Cup Noodle Soda, Cup Noodle Seafood Soda, Cup Noodle Curry Soda, and Cup Noodle Chili Tomato Soda. Personally, I always enjoyed drinking down the styrofoam cup of noodles juice at the end with bottom bits of ingredients.

      Williwaw Salmon Skin Cracklets: A Product Born Out Of Friendship

        Talk about having some skin in the game. What started as a pleasure fishing trip spawned into a business. Chilian company Williwaw wants you to know that eating salmon skin is a healthy choice. As most North Americans know, salmon is a well-known source of necessary nutrients for our bodies. Did you the skin that most of us discard is just as healthy? The Chilian company has turned salmon skin into healthy crackers that they call Salmon Skin Cracklets. The Keto-friendly product is a no-brainer for health enthusiasts. On the other hand, convincing people to eat fish skin is a hard sell. The biggest sell here is health and making the earth greener by not discarding the skin as a non-food alternative. The best thing is that the skin is not fried and has no trans fat. Williwaw is swimming against the current but with steady persistence, they will prevail. Once you try Williwaw Salmon Skin Cracklets, you will be hooked.

                      Enough with the Pumpkin Spice

                        What started off a few years innocently as a Starbucks seasonal frothy beverage has mushroomed out of control. The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte was introduced in 2003. You will now find your grocery store littered with pumpkin spice in about just every popular product. From September till the end of October, North America seems to go crazy with the Autumn spice. I think we reached the tipping point with pumpkin spice, enough is enough. There is way too much out there. Personally, I think it has become clickbait for the most outrageous food combos that manufacturers want to promote their year-long products by adding pumpkin spice. Just about restaurant or food establishment has added pumpkin spice to their menu. I hate entering the Christmas Tree Store or Bath and Body Works, it feels like your nose is swimming in pumpkin spice. The best part of the spice is that there is no pumpkin in it. It is a spice for pumpkin pies so that they taste better. Why not just call it the cinnamon spice?
