Um…supercandy? Sign me up! I have spent the last 40 years of my life trying to convince my body to turn high fructose corn syrup into an energy source. Now it seems that I have found the holy grail of snacks!

(And now we take a quick break for some local love.) Haggo’s Organic Tacos is a North County San Diego hot spot for after-surf eats. It’s a cool, little eatery in funky Leucadia, right outside of Encinitas and walking distance from both Beacon’s and Grandview beaches. If you like locally grown meat & produce and are in the area, make sure you stop by Haggo’s for a Burgundy burrito. Tell them Todd sent you … I’m always happy for free food.

I do love me some tortilla chips. Judging by the amount of Mexican food I consume, it would be safe to assume I’m part Mexican. A big box of Cabo Chips showed up on AWSM’s door a few weeks back. Needless to say, they only lasted 2 days. If you’re looking for a delicious tortilla chip not made out of Monsanto evil corn, try these.

Ethanol can suck it. Caffeinated popcorn is the new clean burning fuel for the masses. Listen. You don’t want to drink cans of sugar water. You want to stuff handfuls of lightly salted, heavily caffeinated corn in to your eating hole. It states this is recommended for healthy individuals over 18. Man … what happens when I give this to my popcorn-loving cat?

You know what would make breathing better? The smell of bacon. Oh God, give me a break already with the bacon shit. If you want to impress me, make an ointment that makes scabs taste like bacon. On second thought, don’t … I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.


I have to hand it to Bazi … these energy shots work. I’m a coffee man by nature. So, I’ve always been a bit put-off by the “48-hour energy” craze. I took one yesterday when I was feeling over it … you know what? I actually began to give two shits after I consumed one Bazi. Now, if you’re already on a steady diet of Monster and Rockstar, these energy shots probably won’t do jack shit. But, if you’re needing a pick-me-up and aren’t already consuming liquid crack in mass quantities … this is one of the best.


Simulated rotting zombie flesh for you to chow on. Is this so we living, breathing folk can avenge the zombie population for using us as walking Happy Meals?

Why in the world would anyone want bacon flavored toothpaste? Are you a Labrador Retriever? Well, bacon is really taking a run at flavor of the year. What is it with bacon? I mean … I can’t really imagine steak flavored toothpaste, can you? Mmmm … did somebody say steak?
