New Products

Not much to write about on the knitting front so I thought I'd do a post about some new products I've recently come across.


I'm such a sucker to try new and different things. First, we have some cucumber lemonade. It's a dry mix (like Country Time) you just add 2 quarts of water. To me it tasted like a tangy lemonade-very refreshing! I'd remember hearing about adding cucumbers to water for a refreshing drink so I figured it couldn't be all that bad-and it wasn't! I was surprised to see how many recipes I found when I googled, "cucumber lemonade." I didn't realize it was so popular.

Next is a package of Wildly Cherry M & M's I saw while buying some Easter candy. They weren't too bad either. Like a small, crunchy Cherry Tootsie Pop. I also spied some Snickers Charged candy bars on the same trip. Snickers Charged has 60 milligrams of caffeine, taurine and other B vitamins. Eat that with a Red Bull and imagine all the energy you'd have! It tasted "ok" but there was a bit of an aftertaste. I do have to say I did feel a bit more energetic after having a bar (even more so that the usual sugar high-but not overly jittery or anything).

I probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy these again, but they were definitely worth the original purchase, just for something different!

Another, "new to me" product is this P e d E g g. I've read some good things about it and figured I'd give it a go. I haven't tried it yet, but would love to hear about anyone else's experience with it.
