McDonald’s Caramel Brownie McFlurry
McDonald’s continues upping its McFlurry game with a new flavor: caramel brownie. They had a special promotion on the release day, May 4—get a free McFlurry, no purchase necessary. Naturally, we had to go and try this new treat, especially since it’s free. We will ignore the fact that it was not available in the […]

‘Yes Day’ will give everyone above the age of 12 anxiety
When you see a Netflix movie, you immediately have a set of expectations: not cinematic genius, but a nice movie. Although “Yes Day” is supposed to be a comedy, we ended up with strong feelings of worry and anxiety throughout the majority of the film. Perhaps that just shows that we are old farts with […]
The undeniable best breakfast
I want to preface this entire article by saying that breakfast in general is the best meal of the day, no questions asked. Let’s first assure ourselves of this. Does anybody even consider lunch to be the best meal of the day? What does lunch even have to offer that either breakfast or dinner do […]
‘Ducktales:’ a reboot done right
After giving us three seasons of pure joy and enjoyment, Disney’s 2017 remake of “Ducktales” left us yearning for more episodes of the loveable cast. The premise of the show is similar to that of the 1998 version: When Donald Duck (Tony Anselmo) is no longer able to adequately take care of his triplet nephews, […]
National burrito day 2021: mediocre at best
In case you were not aware of the best holiday of the year, National Burrito Day was on April 1. Which really means that it’s the perfect day to get great deals on burritos and burrito bowls. And what do you think about when you think about burritos? Chipotle and Moe’s of course (and maybe […]
The importance of hydration
I am not sure if everyone had this kind of guy in high school, but I was the guy that would be carrying a massive water bottle around with me wherever I went. It got to the point where I was even asking my friends to get me large water bottles for my birthday, the […]
Univ. responds to Atlanta shootings
The university released a statement in response to the deadly shootings at Asian spas in Atlanta, calling March 16 “a new horrifying low,” in an email sent by Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Mark Brimhall-Vargas, on March 17. The response follows three shootings in three different locations across Georgia […]
When recreation takes a wrong turn
Have you ever had that one friend that is super quiet in public and in class, but then in private, goes absolutely crazy? Unfortunately, people will often let their guard down for the sake of fun and entertainment while they’re with their friends, which can often lead to medical issues, such as overdosing. Incidents of […]
Chipotle’s quesadilla fail
One of the more low-key launches of this month has been Chipotle’s quesadilla, which came out on March 11, in the U.S. and Canada, as an online only option. It consists of cheese in a tortilla with a meat or vegetable filling and three sides. You can choose sides from any of the usual fillings […]
Answering any burning questions
When I talk to friends about their childhood, a common story among them is unwittingly putting their hand, or in some cases their entire arm, on a hot stove. In fact, I also have one of these childhood stories of putting my hand on a hot stove just to see what it would feel like. […]
‘Tom and Jerry:’ just leave the classics alone
In the era of classic remakes, no title seems to have been left untouched, including “Tom and Jerry.” This classic favorite that has been watched by generations has been remade into an odd live action-animation hybrid, with everything being real except for all the animals in the movie. Overall, we found the movie to be […]
Wendy’s Jalapeño Popper Chicken Sandwich: the best chicken sandwich in fast food?
Wendy’s came out with a new sandwich—and in case you could not tell, Wendy’s is our favorite fast food chain. Usually their new stuff is good but not anything mind blowing. This new sandwich, though, proved phenomenon enough to justify dedicating an entire article to it. This was Wendy’s attempt at stealing the spotlight from […]
McDonald’s new chicken sandwich
We aren’t sure at what point we became so actively involved in the “chicken sandwich wars,” but somehow in our literary pursuit, we ended up here. Chicken sandwich wars have been heating up, with even Taco Bell entering the race for chicken sandwich supremacy, according to a CNN article. So, of course, in this crucial […]
Wendy’s breakfast experiment
This past winter break, we finally got around to trying some of the things on the Wendy’s breakfast menu. Wendy’s has done breakfast since March 2020, so how have two avid fast food reviewers like ourselves not tried it before now? Well, there are two simple reasons: First and foremost, Wendy’s breakfast is only offered […]

Sal’s mobile pizza in Waltham needs work
Sal’s pizza has made another appearance in Waltham, this time in the form of a food truck, which offers delivery (but only within a three-mile radius, so not to Brandeis) and pickup. They offer their full pizza menu, in two sizes, small (10 inch) and large (14 inch). After our experience with the Sal’s on […]
Trying to stomach norovirus
Chipotle, although one of my personal favorite Mexican chains (anyone who says Moe’s is better is just flat out wrong), has definitely had its fair share of foodborne illness outbreaks. From E. coli to salmonella, Chipotle does not seem shy to rub germs into their food. One of the more prominent viruses responsible for these […]
Dunkin’s spicy disappointment
It seems as though most chains have been busy creating new menu items, and of course we are here to try them all. Up next on our list are Dunkin’s new donuts, the Spicy Pepper Donut and the Spider Donut (which was back for Halloween). The first donut we tried on our trip was the […]
