It's our fourth day in Washington DC and today we've got something really special planned. We're headed to the National Zoo! 

Trader Joe's Root Beer Float Cookie Pieces Taste Test Comparison

Is this the summer of Root Beer Float? This is the second Root Beer Float flavored item that I've seen this summer. While wandering through Trader Joe's I saw this with all the other snacks. I've never seen them before, so I had to get them to try. And we're here with some friends who are going to try them with us! 

We'll have a real root beer float to go along with it and see how much these Trader Joe's Root Beer Float Pieces taste like the real thing! 

2023 Family Trip to Washington DC - Day 03 - 2023/04/30

It's Day 3 of our 2023 Washington DC Trip. It's a Sunday and it's rainy so there's not too much on the agenda for today. 

Mountain Dew Summer Freeze Taste Test Comparison - 2024 Canada Exclusive

Finally getting around to writing up this summer fun taste test. 

During our summer travels, I came across a special Mountain Dew flavor I hadn't tried before. We were visiting Canada and I found a Canadian Exclusive! Mountain Dew Summer Freeze! 

So we'll be trying that along with what it certainly looks to represent. A red, white, and blue ice pop on the can tells me that this is supposed to taste like the Original Bomb Pop!

2023 Family Trip to Washington DC - Day 01 - 2023/04/28

I'm going back and writing up some old trip reports that have been hanging out for a while. It's April of 2023 and we're in Michigan visiting family. Before the next big event happens in Michigan (write-up coming soon-ish), we've got a bit trip to Washington D.C.!

I last left off this story here. We were in Kentucky for Abby and Carson's wedding. We're on our way up to Michigan for graduations, weddings, and even more stuff going on this summer.

Saturday Morning Cereals - Cinnamon Toast Crunch Root Beer Float cereal Taste Test Comparison

It's summertime and that means that it's time for products to bring us lots of fun and unique summer flavors! 

If you look on this site, you'll see that we've tried dozens of different Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal variants. Today's might be the most unique cereal flavor from them that we've tried though. 

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Root Beer Float! 

Will it really taste like a Root Beer Float? We're going to try it alongside a real root beer float and see how they compare. 

Mountain Dew Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers Gummies Taste Test Comparison - 2025/12/26

Mountain Dew Sour Bright Crawlers Trolli Gummies! I can't remember where I first saw them, but when you see a product that contains two things that you love, you know you have to give it a try. We're always trying different kinds of flavors of Mountain Dew, but I can't think of too many times where they've actually put their name on something other than soda. 

Maybe just the one time we had Mountain Dew Doritos that I imported from Australia. Oh yeah, and some Mountain Dew Cheetos from Japan back in 2014. 

And today's taste test isn't just one Mountain Dew flavored gummy. There's 3! Those are some funky eyes they put on the worms on the packaging too.

A fun weekend of Pokemon Go Fest, hanging out with friends and free Slurpees on 7/11

What a fun weekend we've just had! This was the biggest Pokemon Go weekend of the year, and Ian and Alli wanted to go somewhere fun to play with their friends. This weekend, we're battling a Pokemon that has never been released before. Mega Mewtwo! Mewtwo is a very powerful Pokemon and we need a lot of Pokemon trainers to battle and bring it down. They invited a bunch of their friends from school to come hang out this weekend and play together! 

Proper Good Pizza Soup Taste Test Comparison

It's time for another fun taste test comparison! While I was shopping at my local Aldi, I saw a very unique item on their shelves from Proper Good. Pizza Soup! Sounds a little weird, but definitely like something we would try. And so, I waited until Sunday (our usual pizza day) to break it out and try it! 

And of course we're going to try it and compare it to my homemade pepperoni pizza.
