Five Years of Peanut Butter & Awesome!

Has it really been five years already?  Amazing!  I want to start off right away by thanking all of you for your continued support.  Without our readers (and viewers), we wouldn't have a reason to do any of this.

I mean, we still would.  I don't think we've ever once let reason stand in the way of anything we've done, so why start now?

I reached out to have people tell me the stuff they've liked over the years, and I would like to share with you some of the responses I got.

Peanut Butter & Awesome Fourth Anniversary Special: Jeppson's Malort

It's Peanut Butter & Awesome's 4th Anniversary today!  I can't believe it has been that long already...

To celebrate these last four years, we made a special video.  We got most of the Bottom Shelf Mixology crew, including yours truly, to drink the liquid tire fire known as Jeppson's Malort.


A special thanks to everyone for the last four years of Peanut Butter & Awesome! We're looking forward to many more years of bad drinks, weird snacks, holiday stuff, and RiffTrax!

Review: Beverage Flavored Pop-Tarts

The three newest flavors of Pop-Tarts have been unleashed upon humanity, and after a bit of hunting, I finally got my hands on all three.  I kind of wish I hadn't.

Review: Maple Bacon, Watermelon, & Chocolatey Caramel Pop-Tarts

A few months ago, we got word that some new Pop-Tarts flavors were coming out this winter.  I have been looking out for them for the last month, and I finally found them!

I have also found the first ever Pop-Tarts flavor that I detest.

Fall Breakfast Cereal Reviews

As I mentioned in the Rejected Labor Day Drinks article, Labor Day is the unofficial end of Summer for most people.  For me, Fall begins when I find Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts.

And guess what I found yesterday!

You might notice that I found a couple other things that signal the arrival of Fall.  I could go on and on about how wonderful the Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts are, but I have done that enough already.  Instead, let's talk about the three cereals I happened to find.

The Pumpkin Pie Showdown: Pop-Tarts vs. Toaster Strudel

Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts, my all-time favorite flavor of the wonderful little pockets of goodness, usually don't start showing up in stores until sometime in October.  However, everything pumpkin is hitting stores already, and the Pop-Tarts were no exception.  And even though I was surprised to find them, I was more surprised to find the new Pumpkin Pie Toaster Strudel flavor.

This was no coincidence.  I knew what needed to be done.  A no-holds-barred Thunderdome fight to the finish.  Two breakfast pastries enter, one breakfast pastry leaves.  

Which one will be the ultimate champion of the breakfast world?

Strawberry MLB Pop-Tarts Part 2

When I did my original post about these trading card Pop-Tarts, I was toying around with the idea of buying another box of them, just to see what I would end up with.  Today, the opportunity to do just that presented itself in the form of my son, who told me he wanted some strawberry Pop-Tarts.

To catch you up to speed, here is my checklist as of the first post:

Still hoping to get the Tigers!

Strawberry MLB Pop-Tarts

Yesterday, in my hunt for the new Limiter Edition Grape Pop-Tarts that have long eluded me, I finally found them!  I also found two other new special Pop-Tarts!

Today, I wanted to focus on the Strawberry MLB Trading Card Pop-Tarts.  Yes, I know they aren't called that, but that is indeed what they are.

I mean, it says it right there on the box: Collect All 30 Teams.  Just like with trading cards, Kellogg's wants you to keep buying them until you have a complete set.  Wait, what?

Review: Limited Edition Birthday Cake Pop-Tarts

This year is a milestone for Kellogg's, because fifty years ago, they started selling Pop-Tarts.  To celebrate fifty years, they have released a new flavor of Pop-Tart: Birthday Cake.  And unfortunately, instead of giving us gold for this special occasion, they only gave us silver.

Review: Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty!

As the name of the site might imply, I'm a pretty big fan of things involving peanut butter.  That's why, when the new Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! flavors were announced, I was pumped.  I was actually double pumped, because as you all know, I kinda of have a thing about Pop-Tarts.  After weeks of searching, I finally found both flavors!  Once again, it involved going into Walmart (ugh), but it netted me some of the best GMO-filled breakfast pastries ever created.

Limited Edition Red Velvet Pop-Tarts

What's this?  A new Limited Edition flavor of Pop-Tarts?  And it's Red Velvet??  Yes indeed!  And I was able to get my hands on some.  And boy, they are most definitely Red Velvet.

New Limited Edition Pop-Tarts: Marshmallow Hot Chocolate

This is not only part of the reason that I love this time of year so much, but also why I am fat.  Behold, all four limited edition Pop-Tarts that are currently available!

Of course, I have already covered the amazing Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts.  Besides those, there are the returning Gingerbread and Sugar Cookie flavors.  As if those weren't good enough, there is a new flavor this year: Marshmallow Hot Chocolate.  I'll go over the Gingerbread and Sugar Cookie flavors in a different post, but right now, I want to talk about the Marshmallow Hot Chocolate flavor.

The Greatest Pop-Tarts of Our Time: Pumpkin Pie

Today, fall has officially begun!  I stopped at the store this morning to pick up something for lunch, and I happened across the best Pop-Tarts ever made!

I froze, my brain trying to process the awesomeness in front of me.  Then, I grabbed those four boxes and carried them around the store while gathering the rest of the items I was there for.
