Every flavor of Dot's Pretzel taste test - Original, Southwest, Honey Mustard, and Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

You know, I didn't used to like hard pretzels. Those hard, overly dry, mostly tasteless, alternative to chips. But all that changed when I tried my first Dots Pretzel. Whoa! These are different! They aren't hard at all. Plus they've got a delicious seasoning to them! These I like! 

Well, luckily for me, not only do they have the regular Original flavor, but there's 3 others too! We got together with our friends Alfredo, Nicole, and Jacob to try all of them and give our thoughts! Nicole had asked if we could do a savory taste test instead of a sweet one, like we usually do and this sounded perfect! 

Along with the Original Dot's Homestyle Pretzels, we also have Southwest Seasoned, Cinnamon Sugar Seasoned, and Honey Mustard Seasoned. Can't wait!

2024 Summer Trip - The Return to Colorado - 2024/07/11

It's been a really fun time in Washington visiting my brother and his family, but now it's time to start heading Eastward. When T was looking for flights to get back to Michigan, the best thing she found had us connecting in Denver. Well, if we're going to be in Colorado, why not just spend a few more days with family there before heading on to Michigan? 

Red, White, and Blue Olympics Mountain Dew! - Star Spangled Splash, Freedom Fusion, and Liberty Chill Mountain Dew Taste Test

It's Summer-Time and it's the year of the Summer Olympics! We love watching all the different Olympics sports and we cheer loud when we see the Red White and Blue of the United States! Our favorites are Beach Volleyball, Gymnastics, but we've found some new interesting sports too, like Bouldering and Speed Climbing! 

Also this summer, right around July 4th, Mountain Dew came out with 3 new flavors that are colored Red, White, and Blue. Sounds like something any red-blooded American should be drinking while watching the Olympics to me! 

And it's not just the colors that are patriotic. They have patriotic names too! 

Star Spangled Splash, Freedom Fusion, and Liberty Chill.
