M&M’s Winner Announced!

A winner has been announced in the M&M’s contest! More candy! M&M’s had a contest going from March to the middle of June. Three new M&M’s flavors were introduced. Voters chose between Honey Nut, Coffee Nut, or Chili Nut. See our full review here. And the winner is… …Coffee Nut! We picked Coffee Nut as our vote. And we were right. Because we’re always right. Believe it. According to People Magazine, the new flavor will be available permanently in August. Who knew People Magazine was good for anything other than hot pics of Jennifer Aniston? Yes, yes, we know. We’re…

Review: Starbucks Affogato-style Frappuccino (New/Limited Time Only)

It’s hot as hell in Kansas. There’s a pretty good chance it’s hot as hell wherever you are right now. It is July, after all. And if we get through this, then we get to look forward to August! OH MY! So what is an overheating Fewd Snob to do? Typically, we would reach for a beer. But, let’s be realistic for just one minute. Even a Fewd Snob can’t drink booze every minute of the day. Sometimes (not all the time) you have to take a break and dry out. Or, at least drive to the store to get…

Review: Starbucks Caramelized Honey Latte (New/Limited Time Only)

Starbucks has introduced a new drink.  Starting today, March 22, Starbucks is offering the new Caramelized Honey Latte in both hot and iced versions.  The drinks will be available for a limited time only. Starbucks dropped the news yesterday on its website, and the drink came out today.  Waste no time, Starbucks! The drink is described on Starbucks’ website as, “…made with a subtly sweet caramelized honey sauce that’s been slow-cooked to reveal a richness that stands up to our bold espresso.” So what we have is a latte (for those that may not know, a latte is espresso and…

Review: Starbucks Holiday Spice Flat White (New/Limited Time Only)

Merry Christmas, Snobs! We are here with another Christmasy review for you, our dear readers.  Think of it as our gift to you! Starbucks has a new holiday drink for your pleasure (or substitute your own word for pleasure!).  We have already told you why we cover Starbucks (remember our review of the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte), so we won’t do it again.  The bottom line is, we like coffee.  This drink is marketed at Christmas.  Good enough for us. Starbucks’ website says, “Our new Holiday Spice Flat White combines Christmas Blend Espresso Roast with velvety-steamed whole milk infused with…

Review: Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (Limited Time Only)

First of all, we are pretty sure some of you are looking at the title and thinking, “Starbucks isn’t for Fewd Snobs!” It is true, Starbucks is a little trendy for our tastes.  But, that said, Starbucks has become kind of a standard these days.  They are everywhere.  And in our opinion, it is kind of tough to be a pissy trendy shop when there are stores absolutely everywhere.  Starbucks is no longer a local shop that only caters to hipsters.  So, we think that reviewing something from Starbucks is ok because it appeals to a variety of regular people…

Review: Folgers Coffee Singles

Fewd Snobs love coffee.  It is what starts us up each day.  It gets us through the 2PM slump.  And it’s great after dinner.  Best of all, it cures our hangovers! There are several ways to brew a good cup of coffee.  Brewing a whole pot is great if you have the time, and if you want that much.  But sometimes you just want one cup. We all know that Keurig pretty much has the market on single-serve coffee.  K-cups were really the answer to terrible instant coffee.  We don’t know how anybody can drink instant coffee.  It doesn’t taste…

Review: Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee

For our first review, we’re not reviewing fewd!  We need to kickstart this site, and what better way than with coffee! Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is the perfect start for our site.  Why?  It is NOT Starbucks!  Starbucks is fine and great, and blah blah blah.  But it isn’t typical coffee for Fewd Snobs.  Dunkin’ is perfect. Dunkin’ Donuts was founded in Massachusetts in 1950.  Once upon a time, the focus of the brand was donuts.  Remember that?  They even had this grand concept of the “Dunkin’ Donut.”  It had a handle built into the donut.  The idea was that you…
