REVIEW: Chestnut Kit-Kat

OR "Marron Kit-Kat" as the makers call it.

This is another damn fine product in the Kit-Kat range AND it was found locally, right here in Sydney, by my good friend AW.

The Japanese manufacturers use real subtle flavours and it works spectacularly in these chocolate bars.

Well done, choccy-making folk from the Land Of The Rising Sun.

I can't wait to see what other quirky flavours you come up with.

Wanna know more - especially if you speak Japanese? Well, head to www.breaktown.com (it's just near Funky Town and Pussy Town, I believe).

Rose McGowan...

SAINTS be praised!
Or is it just more nun-sense?

REVIEW: GooGoo Original ice-cream bar

I LOVED GooGoo Clusters when I ate them in America in 2005. So when I recently saw GooGoo Ice-cream for sale in a Korean convenience store on Pitt Street in Sydney, I had to try them out. But the thought went through my head: "Why is GooGoo being sold in a Korean convenience store?"

"The original GooGoo. It's the first of the GooGoo family that became your favorite. Chocolate ice cream, marshmallow and caramel syrup, covered with almond flakes and coated with more chocolate. It's a mouth full of chocolate!"

Turns out these GooGoo treats have no relation to the original GooGoo, created in 1912 in Tennessee (http://www.googoo.com/ for more details).

The GooGoo ice-cream I ate is definitely a South Korean thang. Maybe they bought the original GooGoo franchise? It's hard to tell when their site is written in Korean, translated into Korenglish. Whatever. The main thing is: how does GooGoo Original ice-cream taste?

The biscuit-shaped ice-cream is cheap: thin chocolate covers a thin layer of peanuts on top of chocolate ice-cream laced with marshmallow and caramel. But you can't argue with the price: at $1.20 it's a steal.

Will I eat another one? Oh fuck, yes!

REVIEW: Vanilla KitKat

SUBLIME. God bless you, Japan.

Would I do Ann Coulter? Would I?

Yep, I definitely would.

This is how I imagine she looks topless*.

* Thanks, My Wall Street Journal, which is a parody of the Wall Street Journal...which, itself, is a parody of a real newspaper, I believe.

ANOTHER hero gone. He turned me onto Bettie Page in the late 80s with his brilliant art. And his Rocketeer was a funky comic, too. So long, Dave, and thanks for all the cheesecake.
