When it comes to candy, I have a lot of things I like a great deal.  However, there’s only one candy treat that I cannot get enough of, and that is the Cadbury Egg.  It is quite possibly the world’s most perfect piece of candy, and the availability of those little chocolate eggs every season is the only part of spring I actually like.  Cadbury Eggs are special, and Cadbury has a pretty special history, too.

I think it’s absolutely hilarious that a candy company was also one of the forerunners of the health-consciousness movement.  They were one of the first companies in the UK to have a doctor and dentist on staff, and they started every morning at work with exercises.  They even provided a pool and recreational fields to employees living in their Bournville factory town.

It’s a bit sad that the US version of the Cadbury Egg has gotten smaller, but it’s still one of the tastiest things you can eat.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Peeps, but you can get them pretty much any time of the year.  (The Easter Peeps taste the best, but they’re still out there.)  Whether it’s the orange egg for breakfast (like I had today), a caramel egg after dinner, or the traditional yellow and white egg any time of the day or night, you’ve only got a brief window of time to get your fill, and time is running out.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
