Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum: Beware of Pirates

by cwhitmore | Posted January 29th, 2010 at 4:57 pm

Whether you’re a pirate, my sister or pre-gaming for Mardi Gras next weekend, chances are you’re a fan of rum.  Let me introduce you to a new friend… just in time for the weekend too.  Say hello to Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum ($30).  This wonderful creation is a handcrafted blend of multiple different rums aged up to 12 years old. Single Barrel is blended and then aged further in a new charred oak barrel for another year, giving the libation a terrific golden brown color and smooth, complex taste with notes of pepper, wood, and caramel.  I know I’m nerding out but whatever, now I’m thirsty…

Jail House Fire Hot Sauce: Created with Conviction

by cwhitmore | Posted January 29th, 2010 at 11:56 am

Brent from blaccessorize.us and I are big fans of hot sauce and are always trying to get our hands on new ones.  Here’s one I can’t wait to try, Jail House Fire Hot Sauce ($7).  Why’s it’s call Jail House?  Because it was created by the inmates at the Hillsborough County Jail in Tampa, FL, thats why!  It comes in three intense flavors – Original, made from a recipe of peppers and spices, the chipotle-based Smoke, and No Escape, the prisoners’ hottest creation yet. In addition, all profits go to support equipment and supplies for inmate programs.

I wonder how many people were shanked in the process of making this?

Blood Energy Drink for all you vampires out there

by cwhitmore | Posted January 22nd, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Calm down, it’s not actually blood. It’s just an energy drink made to look like blood, and it’s served in an IV bag.   I have to say with all the talk of vampires and the new Twilight movie coming out I’m really not surprised by this, slightly grossed out though.

The Blood Energy Potion($5) has same color, look and similar nutritional makeup to real blood.

The fruit punch flavor packs 4 hours of energy along with iron, protein, and electrolytes. Not only does Blood Energy Potion have a similar nutritional makeup to real blood, but it has the same color, look, and consistency of blood. Get real blood nutrients without that real blood taste! The re-sealable transfusion bag style pouch provides the convenient delivery of fluids for vampires and humans alike! Contains no real blood, just synthetic!

Whether it’s a hurricane, blizzard, or zombie uprising that’s left you shut in, you can still get your daily dose of pork with Tactical Canned Bacon ($16). Each can holds about 50 slices of tasty pre-cooked bacon, and has a shelf life of more than ten years, or way longer than you’ll be able to hold off on eating it.

Lobel’s Meat Bible: Cue Angels

by cwhitmore | Posted January 21st, 2010 at 11:56 am

It’s no secret that I’m not a vegetarian so when I hear “Meat Bible” my ears perk up. Lobel’s Meat Bible ($27), written by the Lobel family of master butchers is a 320-page epicurean excursion that includes extensive information on beef, pork, lamb, rabbit, poultry, veal, and more.  There are  explanations of texture, flavor, and contents, and more than 150 recipes from various cuisines and origins.

Dammit, now my mouth is watering.

Skinny Blonde Beer = Best Label Ever [NSFW]

by cwhitmore | Posted January 20th, 2010 at 11:09 pm

It is the ultimate beer-lover’s fantasy: a bottle of beer with a woman on the label whose bikini disappears as fast as the drinker can consume its contents.

Three friends in Sydney have taken on the Australian beer market with a unique world first marketing concept for their new beer.  The label is Skinny Blonde, a low-carb beer that is thriving on the current popularity of Australia’s new crop of ‘healthy’ beers.

But there is another reason it is popular: the Skinny Blonde bottle features a 1950s-style pin-up called Daisy whose red bikini disappears as the beer level drops and the bottle warms up, thanks to the modern ink technology used on the labels.  If you want another treat, head over to their site and check out these lovely ladies.

Update: Sadly they don’t have the original site up anymore so no naked six packs… However, they are clothed after the break. Read More

by cwhitmore | Posted January 17th, 2010 at 5:59 pm

Summer sausage is a must have at your playoffs/Super Bowl part.  Someone else understands that too.  Feast your eyes on the Football Sausage ($26).  This tasty summer sausage is made from fresh beef and pork, cured and slowly smoked over hickory fires and then shaped authentically into a football, complete with lacing and stitches.

Look at that, we even gave you time to order it before the big day.  Make sure to check out the Super Bowl ad sneak peeks too.
