The people at the Baylor Lariat emailed and asked me to take the story down. So the link to the story is below if you are interested.
A fun little thing to do after a major historical moment
Is to check out the front pages across the U.S.
I prefer to check it out using the map feature.
I think a lot of people have the same idea as the site seems to be working a little slow today, hence the reason why I’m not posting a picture on this post.
Second Rate Snacks
What a great idea for a blog, comparing the name brand of snacks to the alternative.
While on vacation, my husband Ethan and I were checking out the vending machine by the pool and noticed one of the offerings was a product called “Animal Snackersâ€. Amused by the blatant rip-off of “Animal Crackersâ€, we started wondering what other products were rip-offs or considered “lesser†versions of more popular brand names.
Thus began roaming up and down the isles of grocery stores and mini-marts, looking at packages and researching online. I have to say, I have learned a lot.
I conduct taste-tests with the help of Ethan, my friends and my co-workers. I’m always grateful for their feedback and of course always interested hearing readers thoughts on these products.
Also, just thought I’d note that while the name of this blog is Second Rate Snacks, I chose to include drinks, candy and some packaged foods that will be classified as “quasi-mealsâ€.
Tempting Pictures of the Day
These amazing pictures show the moments a python captures a sulphur-crested cockatoo, squeezes it slowly to death and eats it whole.
