Totally Spiced Out
Have you ever noticed this world has become one giant
spice? For several years I've been seeing jalapeño everything. Now this past
year everything is Sriracha!
A few years ago we were at a fair where they
sold homemade jams and jellies. For the life of me I could not find one jelly
or jam that was normal. How about jalapeño, lemon pepper, red pepper flakes and
hot pepper jams and jellies! Not one normal jelly in the bunch.
Normal barbecue sauce. What's that? We have Sriracha
barbecue sauce, honey barbecue sauce, hot and spicy barbecue sauce, and vinegar
barbecue sauce.
How about a normal potato chip? We have salt and vinegar
potato chips. Who in their right mind wants to eat that? Then there's ranch
potato chips, barbecue potato chips, hot and spicy potato chips, and crunchy
chips. All potato chips are crunchy what's that about? Potato chips are wonderful all by themselves even without
salt.
Did you know that they have barbecue sauce ranch dressing
now? And did I mention pumpkin? Everything is pumpkin this and pumpkin that.
Now there is even pumpkin spice whipped crème, go figure.
Mustards, let's talk mustards. Their used to be one
mustard now there's spicy mustard, brown mustard, hot and spicy mustard,
and Dijon mustard, just to name a few.
The world has gone crazy! All the food manufacturers are
vying for the number one spot so they keep coming up with ideas good or bad.
Remember the new and improved Coke, what a disaster that was.
Let's discuss Oreo cookies. This summer I saw Banana Split
Oreo, Coffee Oreo, and Lemon Oreo cookies. How about double stuff! Why ruin an
already perfect cookie? Are they nuts? Oh and Birthday Cookie Oreo. I had to
spit that out! Just read that they are coming out with an Apple Oreo for fall.
The others I could not taste.
Breaking news…Oreo just added a pumpkin spice and hot cinnamon
Oreo cookie. Where will it end?
Remember the all perfect milk chocolate? What is better
than milk chocolate anything? Well if you remember a few years ago the powers
that be decided that milk chocolate had too much cocoa butter in it and was
unhealthy. But dark chocolate had a higher concentration of cocoa which is
healthier and better for you. So what did I do? I gave up my love for milk
chocolate and started eating the better but bitter stuff.
Some of my friends actually say they prefer the dark
chocolate. I think they're lying through their chocolate teeth. They say the
dark chocolate satisfies you more and you don't have to eat as much. You don't
have to eat as much because it's so damn bitter who wants to?
M&M’s melt in your mouth not in your hands. Some of
the flavors they have I would rather they did melt in my hands then in my mouth.
They're coming out with pumpkin flavored M&M’s. I like M&M’s and I like
pumpkin flavor, but not sure I'm going to like the combo.
The only one making money out of this new food craze is
the manufacturer of anti-acid medication. I can imagine the stomachs of all
these people that eat all this stuff. As the younger generation ages let's see
what this spicy stuff does to their tummies.
Oh wait something not spicy, or salty, or hot, is peanut
butter and chocolate. Now there is a combo of my two favorite things in the
world, and I've never tasted a bad peanut butter chocolate anything.
Wait a minute I have to go to the grocery. I just heard that
they came out with Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Creamer. Now that I have to
taste.
