Junk Food Nation, it’s a great day for a ballgame.  With a Nationals/Yankees exhibition game this afternoon, I am giddy for baseball to begin!  But let’s talk about some other sporting news:

1) Well, I was dead wrong.  Last night on Twitter I picked Wichita State, Indiana, Arizona, and Miami to win.  Three of those picks were demolished – ugh.  At least the Shockers pulled it out.  TONIGHT: Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State and….awh, what the hell. FLORIDA GULF COAST.

2) Speaking of Florida Gulf Coast, apparently this team never expected to do so well, because the school began concerned about its travel budget!  Seriously?? Can we get a collection plate going for these kids…who sit around on the beach all day in board shorts and bikinis and get great Vitamin D and have a …  Wait, nevermind.

3) And finally, in non-sporting HORRIFYING news, apparently an Oklahoma oral surgeon was using dirty tools and may have given 7000+ patients HIV AND HEPATITIS C.  HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??  What is this, Little Shop of Horrors???? See, this is why I never go to the dentist.

Let’s take a look at what is In Stores Now:

Lemon Meringue Marshmallows?

Saw these at Walmart.  Not sure if I want Marshmallows that taste like Lemon Meringue, although I DO get it – meringue is light and fluffy, and so are marshmallows, so when you eat these, you can get the same sensation are eating a meringue.  And then you can melt these and eat them graham cracker, which you can imagine is like pie crust?  Hmmm….I’m actually starting to come around to these.

Lime Marshmallows?

Does it work the same with Key Lime Marshmallows, however?  While meringue is light and fluffy like a marshmallow, I generally like my key lime pie custard like and really REALLY tart.  I don’t think marshmallows can replicate this, but what do I know?  Not willing to try these to find out.  Also seen at Walmart.

That just sounds gross

Egg Swirlers just sounds weird.  Plus, these marshmallows were designed to be wide thick discs.  What is the purpose?  You’re not putting these into hot cocoa, unless you like lemon hot cocoa (retch).  Again, are these just designed to be eaten by themselves?  I just don’t ever do that.  Maybe little kids do.  Someone inform me.

Breyers Limited Edition?

At Giant, I saw this Limited edition Breyers Apple Cinnamon Crumble Ice Cream.  Been a while since I saw a Limited Edition from Breyers, so I figured it was worth a photo, even though I had no interest in trying it.  One thing to note: $5.59?????? You have GOT to be joking, Giant.  I can get a full meal for that much.  Of course, how many times has a tub of ice cream been a meal for me?  Way too many times.
