Mango Soda? Don’t Mind if I do!

So I recently made a run to a BevMo! near my university and was looking at the selection of sodas that they had. I know, lame, but I can’t drink yet, not 21 But BevMo! surprised me with a great selection. Needless to say, being a lover of sweets and sours and anything that has sugar in it, I went a little soda crazy. I bought a few bottles of soda here and there, including Jones and Leninade. I haven’t tried any of those yet, but I did try one of the most interesting sodas that caught my eye, Waialua Mango Soda.

The soda was pretty good. I shared it with the boyfriend and we finished it relatively fast. Since it is in a glass bottle, I felt that the bottle did allow the soda to retain more of it’s carbonation which is what soda should have. However, the soda does not really have a strong mango flavor to it. It does give you a hint of mango but it doesn’t give me that intense flavor of mango that you can get from an intense flavor of lemon-lime in sprite or 7up. There’s also a hint of melony flavor in there, so if you cantaloupe/honeydew lovers are reading this, give this soda a try. I bet you’ll like it! Anyways, the soda isn’t that bad but it could use a little more work on the mango flavor. Lemme know what you guys think of the soda! Maybe I just can’t taste the mango in the soda….

What does your SackBoy look like?

Mine is a brown one with a communist hat on it. But before you judge, I ain’t communist. I just thought it looked cute in a weird way.

For all you peoples out there that have no clue what the SackBoy is. It’s this character in PS3′s Little Big Planet. It was actually named Game of the Year for I think 2009.

I like this game a lot actually. But I have to admit, it gets harder and harder. You need tons of patience for this game, something that I don’t have much of. So you’ll probably hear me cursing when I’m playing, just because I am a poor sport. But the levels in Little Big Planet are all different. They have different culture/country themes. It’s like traveling the world! You go to Mexico, Japan, India, etc.

Let’s not forget the online portion of the game! You can play with other sackpeople from around the world. And you can design your own levels and play other levels people have designed. Gives you plenty of things to do after you have accomplished all the levels, which is what my friend had done within the first two weeks of playing the game. It’s sooo addicting. Give it a try and you’ll love it. Hey, it wasn’t name Game of the Year for no reason right?

Oh yeah, for all you parents out there, Little Big Planet is pretty safe for children. They’ll love this game. There’s nothing dirty or too violent about this game.

I believe that it is only made it for the playstation world only right now.

Hello? Can Anyone Hear Me?

So I gots nothing to do on a Monday night, so I shall make my second review right now. WARNING: All you techies out there, I’m not super tech savy, but I am going to do a review on my current phone right now: the HTC Fuze.

The first thing I want to say is, for all you people who are about to get a new phone, always do extra research on the phone you want. I didn’t and that was a big problem. This phone was not what I wanted it to be AT ALL. The main beef I have with this phone is that it does not lock. I tried locking it various ways, no dice. I need the phone to LOCK because I am a student and sometimes when I go to places, it would be nice to put the phone in my pocket and not have it do something weird. It even dials people’s numbers when I put it in my bag! If there is anyone out there who knows a solution to locking my HTC Fuze, please let me know now. I would appreciate it so much. The only solution I have right now is to press the power button on the top of the phone, but when I put the phone in my pocket and sit down, I somehow click on the power button and the phone begins doing all crazy things. I have called my best friend a couple times, not knowing it. Boy, she has heard weird things.

Another beef I have with this phone is that when I call someone and I put the phone next to my ear, my cheek can make the phone mute. Since the phone is a touchscreen, the mute button is conveniently where my cheek rests when I talk on the phone. BAD FOR TALKING ON THE PHONE, ESP WHEN ITS SOMETHING IMPORTANT. People have accused me of playing a joke on them, or just plain being rude.  I don’t mean to, its the phone.

The phone is also very heavy, I don’t like how heavy it is. It’s like probably a pound to two pounds? Maybe I’m exaggerating, but it’s thick and heavy.

Don’t get me wrong, the picture quality on the phone is really nice. But I wish I would of thought twice. I have had the phone for a year already and the contract wont end for another year. So I’m stuck with this phone.

All other HTC Fuze users, whats your take on your phone?

What Time is It? It’s Laundry Time!

Just started this during laundry time, so I thought, what better way to start reviewing then by first reviewing my current dryer sheets: Snuggle

The picture above is the exact thing I use. I have been using it since I have started doing laundry in college (since I am only in my freshman year). I have never used Snuggle before because my mom would buy Bounce whenever we went to Costco (we assumed it was the cheapest). But right before college started, my mommy decided to make a trip to Big Lots! We’ve never been before! And we discovered Snuggle! It was cheaper then Bounce (I can’t quote the price because I bought it around 4 months ago), so we decided to get it, and I would test it out.

The first time I used it to do laundry in college. I loved it. It smells sooo good. And scent of the “Orange rush” is soo strong when you pull your clothes out of the dryer. Don’t be turned off by the word “orange”, the scent is more flowery and less orangey. It just smells fresh and I am a kind of person who loves fresh and clean scents. There’s also another thing about the scent! It lasts pretty long. After I dry my clothes and put them away, days later, when I put them on, they still smell just as good. Bounce doesn’t do that for me. The scent is gone within hours after drying. So people who love clean smelling clothes that lasts for days, give Snuggle a try! It’ll probably save you a few bucks if you switch from Bounce.

Lemme know what you think of the scent!
