☆Marie Callender's Fried Chicken & Mashed Potato Bowl☆

Another Fedi exclusive! ⁂

I eat a LOT of Marie Callender's. It's one of the few ways around here that you can get a meal for less than $10. It was a flavor I hadn't seen before, so I got one to try.

How is it?

First off, prep is a bit odd, asking you to "rearrange" the chicken nuggets rather than stir anything, but it's easy enough with a spoon.

Second, we eat with our eyes, and this isn't winning any awards. It would get an honorable mention in an ugly contest, but more as like "Miss Congeniality."

Third, on that topic, I am staring at the bottom of the bowl wondering where it all went. There are very, very few cases where I let out an involuntary "MMM!" when the first morsel goes in my mouth, so I'm assuming the answer is "my belly," but I honestly could not tell you how it got there. XD

I guess that means I'll be buying more of it!

☆Cup Noodles☆

A Fedi exclusive! ⁂

I have never in my life had Cup Noodles. My brother had them in the house when he still lived here because he was too proud to not have his own food and as such I never touched them. I know them best from the ridiculous hat and quest line from Final Fantasy XV.

Some things I knew that seem to have turned out wrong:

  • flavor packets: apparently they just dump the powder in now
  • heating covered: apparently you're not supposed to do that anymore (I did)

To borrow a bit from my Bagel Adventures: verdict?

Shockingly edible! But OMG, you will literally die eating nothing else. I wouldn't fight a Behemoth to improve it; I'm not going to rush out to get a cup hat. It is, to be blunt, noodles and chicken bouillon with a total number of corn kernels and even smaller carrot squares you can count on one hand and less than a parsley leaf of herbs and spices for some hint of complexity.

You get what you pay for. 7/10 on flavor for what it is.

☆onn. blast 5.1 Ultra-Slim Surround Soundbar System☆

First off, "onn." is not a typo and "blast" is similarly stylized lowercase. I am going to just call it the Blast for clarity despite normally adhering as best as possible to branding.

☆Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar (and expansions), objectively☆

It seems I did actually review this back in 2019, on my Final Fantasy Wiki page, but... to be very honest, plans change and it's worth putting here.

This is a 2-4 player game, 2-5 with expansions, and while it would be fun to get more of the guys in on this, the fact of the matter is their opinions on it—

Vampire Hunter: The Game – Blue Star Creations personal blog

I tried the Nashville Chicken flavor wings from Pizza Hut and 1) if you were hoping for them to be stupidly hot like the original, you'll be gravely disappointed and 2) even going in without ever having heard of it before or knowing it was SUPPOSED to be stupidly hot, they're... okay. But they come with what feels like disproportionate regret. Like I like spicy foods, but I have never in my life eaten anything with such a mediocre flavor and "I don't know what I was expecting" heat and had my guts tying themselves in knots into the lunch hour the next day. Apparently this may have something to do with the oil used and all I have to say is whatever it might be, it adds nothing to write home about.

To start this off, I'm going to be breaking this up into distinct sections: the robot itself, the customer service, the snow performance, the lawn performance, and trials and tribulations.
