P'eatzza sandwich


Side View

In a very Nutsandgum-isan way, 7-11 in the US has introduced a new "sandwich", the P’eatzza Sandwich (I’m guessing that apostrophe is there so you don’t think it is a peat sandwich), which instead using bread, uses two slices of pepperoni pizza. The sandwich, which is served cold and meant to be consumed that way, also has some mayonnaise, and thus bridges the J/US pizza divide of using mayonnaise on pizza. This is yet another of 7-11's efforts to create new products to serve the “go-food” or portable food that can be eaten quickly and usually with one hand, for the all important eating while driving market.

And in the interest of scholarship, gentle readers, I actually tried this. While I’m a big fan of cold pizza, I must admit the turkey/pizza taste combination was not one my taste buds have been long crying out to try, even though the pizza /pepperoni was the more dominate flavor. While I am using a somewhat diminished criteria (it is 7-11 afterall, or at least a US 7-11, where my first question when considering choices is “Will this kill me if I eat it?”), it is actually not that bad overall although I wouldn’t go as far to say it was really good. It was fairly substantial and if I was really hungry, it would do the job. But I don’t know if I would seek this out if I had other choices.

Happy J Horror style Easter, Kids!

Well, since I'm pretty pleased with this whole embedded video thing, I thought I would post this rather disturbing piece of work. This is from a soon to be released PSP UMD disk called "the silent hill experience", which looks to be an interesting media mix product (video comic books, music, and game videos). While using some locations from the game (silent hlll 3 in specific, I believe), the main character is a blood spattered giant Easter Bunny walking through an what appears to be an giant Easter Bunny abattoir.



ughghhgh!

Ellen Feiss...Embedded

This post is mostly just an experiment to see if embedded video works on my blog (apparently it does). With all the new talk about the new apple TV ads, I thought I would crack open this old chestnut....Apple...the computer for stoned teenage girls.



The AMV (Anime Music Video, or a homemade video mash up of anime scenes set to a different audio track) version for the Otaku market. Oddly enough, I think this one works better since you are not distracted trying to figure out if she wasted or not.
