Article: Our Picks for Kansas Craft Beer Week

Kansas Craft Beer Week is here! Yes, an entire week devoted to beer. Sounds pretty good to us. Before we go any further, we know what you are thinking. “You guys hate craft beer! It’s for true snobs!” You are right in your thinking. We generally don’t like craft beer. Except, it isn’t really that we dislike craft beer itself. We hate what it stands for. Craft beer is used as a status symbol for millennials. You know the type. We have gotten into this before, so for the sake of this article, that’s as far as we are going…

Article: Bud Light Has A New Logo

Bud Light has a new logo. Yay. We aren’t going to get in to the entire background on this. Google it if you must. There is a ton out there, some of it from Budweiser, regarding the change. In fact, this ties in to the recent change in the regular Budweiser logo. Bud Heavy went back to a more classic look, and now Bud Light is doing the same. The redesign features the words “Bud Light” in a bolder font, similar to the font that used to be on the cans and bottles years ago. In addition, the Budweiser crest…

Article: The Fast Food $4 War!

It’s on, people. It appears there is a little war going on in fast food land.  Three major fast food chains are all offering a meal for 4 bucks. Times are tough.  Nobody has any money.  We certainly don’t.  So, it stands to reason that in an age where people are counting pennies (and in some cases, saving pennies from the couch in order to buy a fast food meal!), the fast food joints would try to attract the money-conscious consumer. Besides, fast food prices are getting insane.  Wendy’s is probably the worst offender, in our opinion.  Wendy’s combo meals…

Article: We Got McScrewed on McDonald’s McPick Two Menu

Hello ladies and gentlemen, Denny here.  Although Herman got McScrewed too, I am writing this one.  Because I’m pissed off.  I’m usually pissed off.  But that’s not the point right now. By now, you already know that McDonald’s has gotten rid of the regular “dollar menu,” and replaced it with the “$1 $2 $3 value menu.”  Part of the new menu includes the $2 McPick Two menu.  The way this new menu is supposed to work is that you pick two items from the list (McDouble, small fries, McChicken, 3 piece mozzarella sticks), and you pay two bucks.  Easy enough,…

Article: Mountain Dew 1.5 Liter Bottles Shrunk

Denny here.  Hello, people! I am a big fan of Mountain Dew.  These days, I don’t drink much soda (or pop, depending on where in the country you are!)  But, I still have a weakness for Dew. For years, I have been trying to figure out just what Mountain Dew is supposed to be.  It is a citrus drink, evidently.  But I don’t really think it tastes like citrus.  I think more of Squirt when I think citrus soda.  Mountain Dew is kind of its own thing.  Just like Dr. Pepper is its own thing. According to Wikipedia, the main…

A Fewd Snobs’ Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving.  A day of the year to give thanks for all that we hold dear, including the harvest.  It is the beginning of the holiday season. Enough.  What is Thanksgiving really for?  It is for eating food, watching football, and drinking beer!  So naturally, it’s the Fewd Snobs’ favorite holiday!!  Our football turkey above agrees!  The only thing he is missing is his beer! Yes, Denny and Herman both enjoy the holiday more than any other.  If there was a holiday designed for Fewd Snobs, this is it.  No gifts.  No worries.  Just food and beer and football.  Perfect. So,…

R.I.P. Beer Fridge (Update)

Article has been updated.  See updates at end. The Fewd Snobs are mourning the loss of a close friend.  Our beer fridge. You will recall that we did a review on our Danby Beer Fridge a while back.  Check it out here. This thing was one of our most prized possessions.  Why?  It kept our beer cold!  In fact, it kept it MUCH colder than a regular fridge could.  It was a joy.  Then suddenly, one day we go for a beer.  It was piss warm.  The fridge was dead. We have to say, we are VERY disappointed.  We gave…
