The Snack Report: Strongbow Honey & Apple Hard Cider
So it looks like we’re in the thick of Fall now. That can mean only one thing; every food and drink gets a seasonal makeover with pumpkin spice and cinnamon variants! Okay, maybe not EVERY one, but it is a time-honored tradition for companies to crank out Autumnal varieties of their products and packaging from September to December. Don’t get me wrong, it’s silly but it’s still pretty tasty in the end. As celebration of the season, I’ll be taking a look at some seasonal exclusives of my favorite drink of all time, hard cider. Specifically, this post focuses on Strongbow Honey & Apple Hard Cider.
The Cereal Report: Quaker Oats Real Medleys
The Cereal Report is a column in which PCFG conducts various cereal reviews, of new or limited products, as well as providing brief backgrounds on the cereal. Cereal is delicious and fairly cheap as far as meals go. Everyone should eat cereal!
I started eating Quaker’s Real Medleys oatmeal not too long after it first came out, and I enjoy it. Well, not all the flavors, but most of them. They’re my go-to instant oatmeal during oatmeal season. They have more stuff in them (like dried fruit and nuts) than the regular packets of oatmeal, and I find them to be more filling. However, this snack report is not about oatmeal. It is in fact about the new cold cereal version of Real Medleys that Quaker has released. Considering how much I enjoy the oatmeal, when I saw the new cereal I knew I wanted to try it out. I got the cherry almond pecan flavor, but it also comes in peach apple walnut.

Recently, an Aldi supermarket opened nearby us and we’ve started doing a lot of grocery shopping there due to their super delightful prices. Recently we picked up the following cereal:
Much to my own pleasant surprise, this turned out to be one of my new favorite cereals, and not just because it only cost $2 bucks.
The Snack Report: Pocari Sweat
One of our more popular societal tropes in the past decade or so has been the whole ‘wacky Japanese food’ thing. On one hand, it’s a matter of cultural differences since our food and its packaging are probably very alien to Asian countries, but on the other hand there is definitely lots of fun to be had with Engrish and other examples of Asian to English translation gone awry.
That’s how I ended up coming to start drinking sweat. That’s right I enjoy drinking sweat.
Ah? Ah? Get it?
The Snack Report: Mochi Ice Cream
Thanks to our status as foodies and my growing up as a total weeaboo dork, Meg and I have developed quite a fondness for Japanese food. Lately we’ve been hitting up Asian markets like crazy in search of exotic snacks. Most of these have been good, but nothing particularly impressive; that is, until we came upon an awesome Summer treat in the form of these mofos:
