Oscar Mayer's Bacon Hot Dogs

Oscar Mayer's Bacon Hot Dogs - reviewed.

The minute that Oscar Mayer announced they’d released a bacon-flavored hot dog, I knew I had to get me some.

During a Wal-Mart stop last week I found them. I took them home. I made them. I ate them. I was disappointed.

They weren’t bad, but, yeah, I was a little disappointed.

I put what should have been complete awesomeness into the microwave when I got home.

It started popping at about 45 seconds, so I took it out, put some ketchup on a bun and had myself a meal.

One of my friends who had already tried them said he didn’t taste the bacon flavor. After having a few bites, I could see what he meant.

The hot dog didn’t taste like a regular hot dog. There was something a little off about it. I guess maybe it did have the vague taste of overcooked, crispy bacon, but it wasn’t very distinguishable.

It didn't taste the way I was hoping it would have.

I wasn’t ready to give up on these hot dogs just yet though.

I got out the frying pan, threw some I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and some garlic oil into the pan, and then fried up a second hot dog.

I put some basil on top too, to add a little flavor to it.

With the addition of butter and basil, the second hot dog did taste different, but still not like you'd expect an Oscar Mayer Bacon Dog to taste like.

If you want a true bacon dog, your best bet is probably wrapping some bacon around regular hot dog.

It was a good idea on Oscar Mayer's part, but it's back to the Ballpark beef franks for me.

Celebrity (look-a-like) sightings - part 3

Part 1 and Part 2 were good, but I think there's some definite look-a-likes this time around. I'll get right to the comparisons, but let me know what you think? Am I spot on or what? I saved the very best (and closest comparison) for last this time, so make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page. On the left: Edge On the right: Jamie Campbell Bower May as well start with a wrestling-related one. It seems those pro wrestlers have doppelgängers all over. I'd mentioned before that Wilson Bethel resembles Edge . I still stand by that statement. However, I think Jamie Campbell Bower looks even more like Edge. Jamie Bower, for those who are unaware like I was, is an actor who has quite an impressive resume already. I just watched The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (review to come later) and that's the first time I saw him...or so I thought. Jamie was in the final three Twilight movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2 , and t...

Choosing a side on DVD menu's -- what's the point?

Most DVDs go to a menu screen after you’re done hearing about ‘the cloud,’ how cigarettes can kill you and seeing a preview for the latest animated film. Some, however, give you an option. ‘Pick a side,’ they say. I’ve run into this twice recently – with the G.I. Joe DVD and The Break-Up DVD . At first I thought it was a cool concept. Maybe, if you pick Cobra’s side, there’s an alternate ending? Or maybe some special features --- like an in-depth look at Storm Shadow’s sword training. If you pick the side of the Joe’s, maybe there’s a look at their stunt training. No, no, and no. I went with Cobra and it takes you to the exact same screen, with the exact same features, as it does when you pick G.I. Joe. Same thing with The Break-Up .

Celebrity (look-a-like) sightings

I was on vacation last week and for a change I thankfully (or maybe not?) had Netflix access. I was addicted to it for most of the last week, watching Greedy (not Michael Fox's best film), Pretty Ugly People (which got a deserving low score of 33% on Rotten Tomatoes ), and Hart of Dixie (a review of that show to come at a later date...). While watching Hart of Dixie I couldn't help but notice a couple of instances of celebrity look-a-likes. On the left: Jaime King On the right: Emma Stone First there’s Jaime King, who plays Lemon Breeland, a southern belle from a small town. For most of the first episode of the hour-long drama, I was convinced that Lemon Breeland was played by Emma Stone. If Emma hadn’t dyed her hair and played Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man , I wouldn’t have given it a second though. After seeing Stone in her blonde hair, however, she really could be King’s sister. It's all in the dimples with these two. I think that's what m...
