The Best Things Ever

I like talking about things on here. It's usually movies or games or the such, or an occasional rant about something. I don't often have stories to tell, I usually leave that in the capable hands of my fellow AG. I, on the other hand, enjoy lists of things. They're nicely organized, easily dissected and are a good conversation starter. I was eating my breakfast cereal and thinking to myself "This is a damned fine breakfast cereal. Could this be the best breakfast cereal ever?" So without further ado, here are some of the best things ever:

Candy bars

- Take 5: Chocolate. Peanuts. Caramel. Peanut butter. Pretzels. Bliss.
- Payday: Essentially a nougat log covered in salty peanuts.
- Whatchamacallit: This one gets points for simply having a nuts name. It's got caramel, chocolate and some unidentified crispy stuff in there.
- Zagnut: Probably the best name for anything ever. Hard crisp peanut butter center, surrounded on all sides by toasted coconut. ZAGNUT!
- Special Dark: Nothing fancy here, dark chocolate. Not sure where the Special part comes in. I guess because it's awesome.

Chips

- Nacho Cheese Doritios: Don't be fooled by any of the lesser varieties of Doritos. Some Alright Guys will try to tell you that Cool Ranch Doritos are superior. This is bullshit.
- Sour Cream and Cheddar Ruffles: The name says it all. One chip to rule them all.
- Green chips: Ah, Lay's Sour Cream and Onion chips. We have such history together. They say people have several pounds of undigested red meat in their bowels. I have undigested green chips in my bowels. BIG ONES!
- Crunchy Cheetos: Cheesy and crunchy, I love 'em. Sure, they leave a layer of that cheese dust on your fingertips, and they get all packed in and stuck in your teeth. It's mostly worth it.
- Fritos: Poor stupid Fritos. These tasty, salty corn chips seemed destined for greatness, but they lack a proper dipping agent. Fritos Scoops?! Stupid.

Soda

Mountain Dew: It's good!

- Mt Dew: The Dew. Terrible commercials (aren't they all?) wonderful product. I spent much of my high school career defending Dr Pepper over Mt Dew. Much like me defending Soundgarden over Pearl Jam to Tom, I was oh so wrong. I'm sorry Mt Dew.
- Dr Pepper: Firmly entrenched at number 2, this drink is not like Cherry Coke in any way. Sometimes when I request a Pepper, people will offer Cherry Coke in its place. You may as well vomit in a can and hand it to me. Fuckers.
- Squirt: The third part of the holy trifecta, Squirt is proof that citrus drinks don't have to taste like pee.
- Stewart's Orange Cream soda: The outsider. The stuff is rare; walking into a gas station and finding Stewart's is like opening a pack of Magic cards and getting a Shivan Dragon.
- Sunkist: I do love me some orange soda. Faygo, Orange Crush or Sunkist are things of beauty. Orange Slice or Minute Maid orange soda are, again, essentially pee in a can.

Guitar Hero tracks (I couldn't resist)

Rockin' the living room.

- Crossroads by Cream: Classic song, lots of alternating chords, very difficult. Vintage Clapton.
- YYZ by Rush: Gorgeous solo, one of Rush's best. Some like it because Geddy doesn't sing.
- The Trooper by Iron Maiden: Every time I fire up GH2 on the 360, I simply have to play this song. Difficult, but fun.
- Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas: Another pleasant classic.
- More than a Feeling: This was the first song I could really nail on Expert mode. It really has a good rock star feel to it.

Breakfast Cereals

- Crispix: Healthy and delicious? Fuck yes.
- Apple Jacks: Do they really taste apple-like? I'm not sure they do.
- Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries: A few years ago, some ball sac decided that instead of just having the delicious pink crunch berries, they should add purple, blue and green ones that taste like snot as well. Like Taco Bell changing their nacho cheese, the Cap'n has fallen from grace. Cap'n Crunch needs to be sent to the bread room.
- Frosted mini-wheats: The frosted side kicks ass. The plain side is stupid.
- Clusters: The cereal is all about Nuts. What more needs to be said?
