I often wonder why I eat or drink things, but sometimes I also wonder why people even make certain treats. This Flamin' Hot Mountain Dew is a prime example.

This year's collection of Super Bowl commercials is not the best I've ever seen. It seems like the Super Bowl commercials are becoming a genera into themselves. It used to be that Super Bowl commercials were innovative and creative, now they're just strange, shocking, and kind of boring. It's been a few years since I've been blown away by a Super Bowl ad. It could be a lack of creativity, fear from brands that invest big money into these commercials, or the fact that I'm an old man now. Most likely it's the latter.
Just because they didn't impress me, doesn't mean I'm not going to post them. Here's all of the candy/junk food related commercials I could find from this year's line up. Since I didn't watch the game I'm not sure if I've missed any, and I'll ad any new ones if I come across them later.
Drinks:
This is pretty standard, it looks great, but it's not very creative.
Probably the strangest commercial this year.
This might be my favourite commercial, but only because I'm a comic book nerd.
Snacks:
Doritos had some kind of crazy contest where anybody could make a Doritos commercial and the "best" one would have a chance at being played during the Super Bowl. Here's the three finalist:
Of these three, the Ultrasound commercial is my favorite.
Nothing's better than mixing candy with a rock star's ego.
While it's a funny, the concept of this Snicker's commercial is kind of old.
I'm not sure if this is making fun of extreme commercials or not.
Certainly there are some well made commercials this year. Could I make a better Super Bowl commercial, probably not, but I'm still a little disappointed. Maybe next year things will get better (more creative), or maybe the allure of making creative, over the top commercials for the Super Bowl might be going the way of the dodo.
I'm a big fan of using candy and snacks in your daily cooking. I'm also a big fan of trying something new, unique, and something that probably won't work, but is fun to try. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that you do not try this recipe. It just sounds so very horrible, and it sounds like a waste of perfectly good nachos, chicken, and Mountain Dew. While I think the nacho/Doritos on chicken would work really well, to me the Mountain Dew is really the deal breaker in this recipe. If for some reason you decide to try this out, and if it actually turns out that it's really tasty, let me know. If enough people can convince me, I just might try it... maybe.
It appears that the folks at Pepsi and Frito-Lay have decided to bring back some classic packages on their products. This bag of Doritos looks so cool, and the case of Mountain Dew also looks great.
