The last interesting thing to come along in the alcoholic world was Four Loko.  Infamous because of all the people it hospitalized due to mixing caffeine and alcohol (and due to abuse by college students), Four Loko faced bans until Phusion Projects changed its recipe to be a more traditional malt liquor-type drink.  While that’s sad news, don’t worry; other companies have decided to fill the weird booze gap.  Among these are Cream and Whipped Lightning, companies that make whipped cream topping infused with alcohol.

The flavored whipped cream of Cream (to use one as an example), teams whipped topping and a variety of flavors (chocolate, caramel, raspberry, vanilla, and cherry) with a staggeringly high alcohol content.  Cream is 15 percent alcohol by volume, or roughly 30 proof (the same as most cordials).

“You definitely know that there’s alcohol in it,” said Max Pendolari, GM of the Wine Emporium in Boston.  “Most bottles of wine would have the same alcoholic content.  You could use it to top off your cocktail, you could use it to top off your hot chocolate.”  However, keep in mind you cannot refrigerate Cream, because the cold ruins the mixture.  “The alcohol separates from the cream,” said Pendolari.  “You’re more apt to keep this in a liquor cabinet as opposed to your refrigerator.”

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.
