Junk food tales
You know by now that my biggest addiction is trying out new and interesting flavors of what most people would consider junk food. I am the first to admit that soft drinks are horrible and that they are pretty much akin to death in a bottle... but darn, they sure taste good.
I am attempting to wean myself from them, but will still, from time to time, give a new flavor the ol' taste test. The newest flavor I have tried out is A&W Root Beer Float.
The first impression of this drink is great. It brings you back to the time of the A&W drive-ins, a frosty mug, and that mother of all sweet treats - the root beer float.
The exciting thing is that it indeed does taste just like a root beer float - ice cream and all. The problem is that before you are halfway through the bottle, the sweetness just overwhelms you. I literally was unable to finish the bottle.
I won't be buying another.

You probably already know about this site, and if you don't I shouldn't point it out being the junkie you are, but...

Nice... I think I will avoid the site though because I don't want someone else affecting my opinion before I try things.
I do the same thing with movies... I make it a point to avoid any reports or reviews before I see a film.
Now suggestions from readers of new things to try are always welcome.

Haha... so I could go over there and just find the most foul sounding thing and recommend that? LOL!
