TASTE TEST 2K25: PRINGLES X SUPER MARIO FLAVOUR

Two Moustachioed Icons Collide,  as Super Mario warps from a Green Pipe to A Tube of Mystery Pringles in a supermarket you!

PRINGLES X SUPER MARIO MYSTERY FLAVOUR 

Tube Appearance: Metallic Silver, almost as a reference to the Nintendo S.N.E.S. Where usually a cartoon of the ingredients would be, A Mario Coin Block with a Question mark floats in the void, on the back is the official Nintendo product Stamp of Authenticity. 

Calorie Count: 158 in a 30g serving, the Item contains 5 servings. 

Taste: The Mystery flavour had to be themed to Mario to work, So going in blind, I expected this item to be either A) some kind of Italian Dish or B) a Mushroom dish, but given that mushrooms don't exactly translate into crisp flavours, its going to be linked to Mario via his nationality as an Italian or Italian-American.

Before I tasted these, I read through Ingredients to somehow guess what this was. So apart from the things you'd expect,  what  caught my eye was meat extract, tomato extract, Garlic, chilli and Jalapeño powders.

An Italian dish with Meat, Garlic and Tomatoes 

But it was the spices that sealed it for me and  despite the omission of Actual cheese in the ingredients,  I am convinced the flavour is...

PEPPERONI DEEP DISH PIZZA!

While I can't taste cheese, the snack is vegetarian, not Vegan, and given a real Deep Dish pizza  is Passata covering the cheese, nit the other way around, the overpowering Spices and tomato is understandable if it's there. I was convinced for a while, the flavour  could be Spaghetti and meatballs, but the meat  flavouring they used is unmistakably Pork and Pepperoni spices, but Spaghetti and meatballs was a possibility. 

And that's it for now. I'll be back next month over at Bogger Box office to review Kneecap. And here to review Intimidation Games a fortnight later.

Taste test 2K25: Magnum Utopia and Twister Sour and sweet

 (This Post was formerly an apology post due to my smartphone being broken and needing to replaced. as Mentioned, that post was always going to be replaced by this one.)

Welcome back or to Enlightened Towers...Where it's my 16 year anniversary!

And as such, it's time for our traditional food review, the 1st review I ever did when this was the direction I wanted to go online. With a food review.  Specifically,  Heartbeat international's Ice-cream for the European Market!

FRUIT ZINGER TWISTER SOUR AND SWEET

Flavour: Green Apple, Lemon and Blueberry 

Wrapper Appearance: Light Purple wrapper and everything is par the course. Photo of Item lunges out of a Kika, 2 closeups of the Item act as a border and photos of the fruits involved and the bragging of the lack of Artificial Flavours. Though 65 calories is the lightest this 72g Item has ever been.

Taste: the lemon and Green Apple,  especially the Apple spirals are toe-curlingly sour, though the Blueberry is a Reprieve from Complete Acidity, and ties the two together in a consistent Flavour profile throughout. Will definitely recommend this Flavour on a hot day.

MAGNUM UTOPIA DOUBLE CHERRY

Flavour: Blackcurrant& Raspberry marbled Ice-cream, in a layer of Cherry sauce and Covered in a shell of milk chocolate which is embedded with dried summer fruits. The 71g

Wrapper Appearance: Item, A Blob of cherry sauce and a trio berries lie on a pink square on a wrinkled piece of pink Fabric. 

Calorie Count: 213

Taste: The Fruity and rich cocoa Aroma are tempting me while observing to write this paragraph, waiting no longer, I bite into the Item. The chocolate shell adds more crunch than the little pellets of dried fruit that also have little flavour. However that thankfully cannot be said for the cherry sauce that kicks like a mule on first bite. Raspberry and Blackcurrant ice cream rippled with vanilla is sweet and Satisfying til the final bite. A wonderful little treat!

MAGNUM UTOPIA DOUBLE HAZELNUT 

Flavour: Hazelnut & Almond Caramel Marbled Ice-cream,  covered in salted hazelnut Glaze, in enclosed in white chocolate with pieces of hazelnuts,  pistachio and Almonds within.

Wrapper Appearance: Item,  A Blob of caramel and a trio of nuts lie on a Sepia Square on a wrinkled golden Fabric 

Calorie Count: 245 in a 70 and a half gram Item.

Taste: Sadly, the Item I bought has cracks and caramel leaking through the surface, so cannot  judge on Appearance, so straight to taste.

The caramel sauce is sweet, and it takes some time to register that it has a Salty Element to it. The Hazelnut & Caramel Ice-cream, I was dreading that it was going to be Heavy, but gladly no. Usually nut based Ice-cream feels like bowling ball after you eat it, but surprisingly this was light, despite being the most Calorific of this year's limited editions.

And that will do it for the Ice-cream review. But I am not done with food reviews!

Join me Next week when I review the Pringles/ Super Mario Mystery Flavour collab.

MLW SUPERFIGHT 6: HONEY AND NUTTERS!

 List of champions-No changes 

World's Matt Riddle 

Openweight Matthew Justice 

Middleweight Mistico 

Tag COZYMAX Satoshi Kojima and Okamura 

Featherweight Delmi Exo 

Eric Bischoff is back and will announce he has a special surprise regarding Battle Riot at the end of the show. Bomaye and Alex Kane comes out to brag that Riddle Got him back into the company after Eric Fired him in December. Eric Goads Kane to touch him except if he does, he's fired on the spot.

First was a Lucha tag match : Esfinge and Templario Vs Mascara Dorado and Mistico. Crowd was into this match, even if I wasn't. While it started as a Big Daddy Tag match where he would team with a low card face and have him beaten up til he got a hot tag and the glory, It became a match where Mistico, unlike Big Daddy, got everyone else over! Including Taking the pin for the Debuting Templario after he hit Carmello Hayes' finish onto The middleweight champion.

After the Match, Templario demands a title shot from Cesar Duran and despite Mistico's demands for the match to be right now, Cesar books it for Battle Riot.

Tom Drombroski interviews Delmi Exo, but is attacked by Some Women in Rosemary's Gimmick and Halloween makeup. Also Christian Cole Needs Elocution Lessons. He said her Name 3 Different times and I couldn't make out what her name was. Tara Zepp? Terrazemp? Tezra Zip? I am not wasting my google search on a overrated Indie Girl stealing other established Woman's Gimmick!

Contra Vs The Filthy Bros will main event the Intimidation Games special on March 8th. I will have deferred coverage days later.

Kevin Knight Vs Kenta was not good. The new Kid on New Japan's block vs Mr NEW JAPAN Himself! And the reason this match could be better is that both wrestlers went into the crowd and the ref just stood there, He didn't even start Counting and this was not even a Grudge match to warrant such a spot. Also they didn't announce that this match was No Dq, it just happens. And don't give me that excuse that When New Japan guys wrestle in MLW, they Defer to a 20 Count for Disqualification for them and only them-THE RING ANNOUNCER MUST TELL THE CROWD AND THE PEOPLE AT HOME THAT IS THE CASE! And when they came back in the ring this was not a wrestling match, this was Move-Doers Doing Moves! Kenta Wins with Go to Sleep after both tripped and stumbled on the middle rope.

After the match Kenta makes his world title aspirations clear 

Backstage With Eric Bischoff and hey, Doug Dillinger is still alive!- he's thinner though, Eric sees smoke in his Office and finds Lawlor and Riddle Smoking the Wacky Baccy! Eric throws them out and  and Doug Tell Bischoff that Alex Kane is on the rampage, causing him to rush out, and not see Cesar Stealing Back the Document Eric Stole at the end of Last Year.

Video package on Rogue Horsemen/Paul London feud. 

Honey Trap match....Can I NAME THIS THE WORST MATCH OF THE YEAR ALREADY? For those who don't know, This was a version of the Tar and Feather match, sans the Tar! When Paul London came out as a Beekeeper, I Knew Maryjane Stole his Brain! If any match has to have a Kiddie Pool on Standby, Leave it alone! Brett Ryan Goseleen was Attacked by every Run-in Face and was Pinned so he had to be submerged in Honey, but as the Heel refused until he was beaten up and dumped in Honey and covered in Feathers by London and Paul Walter Houser! Terrible.

A new JOSHEEEEE SCHOOLGIRL PRINCESS IS COMING! AND THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY! THE GUMPTION, THE GALL OF IT ALL! TO CALL THIS 5FT GIRL "BIG KAIJU"

Tom Lawlor Vs Dijak had a good competitive match. The crowd came unglued when Lawlor lifted up the Big Man the first time. Good match with great back and Forth could have gone either way. And Great use of a heel Manager, Who affected the Turn of the match, Lawlor got measure of revenge after MSL Got attention from the ref, and Lawlor paid for it with a Feast your Eyes

Aftermath with them and Monsieur Saint Laurent. Dijak is announced for the battle riot. Lawlor returns and gets back into it with Saint Laurent Until Dijak returns!

Janai Kai Feeds on a Jobber! After the match, Contra attacks refs and Security and Krule gets on the mic and......SHEESH....Now we know why the promos are pre-recorded!

Triple threat match for the heavyweight championship, Matt Riddle faces Both his Predecessors, The name he Bet, Satoshi Kojima, and the man who held this belt exactly one year ago, Alex Kane. Typical 3 Way one fall LAAAAAZZZZY BOOKING! But at least it started with some aggression with Alex Kane spearing The champ on the opening bell. Good Action with everyone hitting their moves and showing off their particular styles. Kojima with The Japanese Strong Style, the Hard Punches and Burning Chops, Riddle with MMA holds and Alex Kane with pure Wrestling! Finish was weak, Matt hits a final Flash Knee and fell into a Pinfall. It smelled like the ref was told to go home so they could cut to a big screen promo.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID!

Backstage Eric Bischoff announces the 40 man Battle Riot match is for the World Championship. So I would Update the Championship belt to Say that the World's Belt is VACANT! But I'm sure the Filming for Intimidation Games will Show him still with the Belt.

So the road to 600 Posts continues and will not be stopping anytime soon! As Tomorrow the Yearly Tradition of the Icecream Review Returns!

WWE ROYAL RUMBLE 2025: SHOCKER OF THE YEET!

 Originally this post working title was going to be called "The Reassuring Comfort of Predictable Booking". After all, The event prior to the main event  was predictable, Charlotte returned to make sure at least one of the Women's Divisions is the Charlotte Division, Neither one of the Title matches changed hands, lest they take focus from the main event. But who predicted THAT person to win?
