I loved grape soda as a child, and more than once have lamented the lack of diet options.
How about a liquored up one?
Henry’s Hard Grape is all grown up — 4.2 percent alcohol by volume, as you can see — with cool retro branding.
I appreciate both.
I was curious enough to buy a six-pack, and it’s pretty tasty. But my diet soda sensibilities are offended by the cane sugar. To this day, it’s hard for me to drink anything with calories.
Those six hard sodas are gonna last me a good long time.

A bouquet of rods for you on this, National Pretzel Day.
They are Rold Gold — only the best will do.

Like so many of you, I was in an airport on Thanksgiving eve. And since it was raining in both my departure and arrival cities, I ended up sitting on the tarmac…
DELAYED.
Luckily, it was only a little over an hour. And I had the forethought to bring snacks. THE snack of the Thanksgiving holiday — Bugles corn chips.
Sure, we’ve all put them on our fingers at one time or another to look witchy, but on Turkey Day, they are the perfect little cornucopia of salty goodness.
I expect someone to make these for me.

On my Delta flight back to NYC from Toronto today, I was flipping through Sky magazine, and an article on the Mississippi Delta caught my eye.
Where to go. What to do. All the summer festivals, food and drink.
As I skimmed the recommendations, one bolded phrase caught my eye:
Pull up a chair and have a helping of barbecue at Kentucky’s Fancy Farm Picnic – – the world’s largest picnic – – held in August.
Look at that, friends and family! We’ve got another publication to add to the list!
I almost grabbed the PA from the flight attendant to get everyone to read page 83…but decided to let them discover it for themselves.
It’s more fun that way.

Happy Birthday, Kentucky!
Thank you for being my birthplace, home of the #BBN and the state where…
Peanut butter was invented!
That’s right – – right in Lexington in 1958.
There is a little tear in the corner of my eye…

An update on my recent pasta post…
Those stylin’ shells have been spied on the shelves!
The pasta packaging without compare was on display in a grocery store in Toronto.
Thanks for the pic! (I’ll take one of each.)

As a fettuccine head who works hard every day to be more spaghettoni, this packaging speaks to me.
I am also hungry.
Yes, please.

The Sticky Egg 
Wash your hands
I see these little hand sanitizer clip ons all over the place. Today it was the subway.
While I personally think hand sanitizer is ruining the planet, I am entertained by the fact it has earned a place on the outside of people’s bags.
Why not makeup? Or the lip balm that some folks are so addicted to? Or even better, candy or gum?
Purcell beat ’em to it. And we all have to look at it.
Gum would be better.
