Today's Discussion is on the mysterious iHob and their menu food items.
Yeah, I know I'm late to the punch on IHob jokes.
And yeah, I know this is a super random post.

I was at the grocery store minding my own business, pushing my cart past family after family to grab myself a provolne cheese sample when I saw it - the grossest "food" I've ever seen. It was a waffle sandwich (I didn't get close enough to check what horrible ingredient could be inside it), coated with sugar and sprinkles and icing and bubble gum and more sugar. I snapchatted it to my friends and then forgot that snapchat doesn't save pictures unless you add it to your story...so, sorry Internet friends, I don't have a picture of it. Trust me, you wouldn't want to see this thing.

What the horrible-looking dessert made me think of was IHop menu items my little sister used to get when we'd go out for breakfast - oh, excuse me, I need to change up this sentence real quick. Ahem. What the horrible-looking dessert made me think of was IHob menu items my little sister used to ger when we'd go out for any meal of the day. Seriously why did the change their name? I mean, look at the image I posted with this blog post! The comapany's website only changed the name of the website, not any other mention of "iHop" on the rest of the website. Ugh. But, I digress, we are here to talk about iHob food, not the laziness of the website designers.

IHob was a place my family used to go to a lot as there were no other breakfast places around the area I grew up in (shocker, I know, we had no Waffle Houses). As I love breakfast food, I actually have tried a fair bit of their menu, at least for the breakfast items. Sorry iHob, but I'm sticking to talking about breakfast. I mean IHob could stand for "International House of Breakfast", which would have made way more sense, but whatever.

Here is a detailed list of the top five foods at iHob I would NEVER try...because they look disgusting. This list is in no particular order:

1. Cupcake Pancakes. Okay, there are a lot of gross-looking pancakes I could add to this list, but we will stick with the one. Honestly, the nastiest part of these pancakes are that it comes with four of these suckers when ordered alone. You can also put strawberry syrup on this for just an extra dose of sugar. Why aren't these kid-sized only? Hey, I mean if you are an adult and you want confetti pancakes, you do you (I'm a huge fan of confetti cake so I got you), but adding whipped cream and syrup? Gah! It's just too much to handle for this gal.
2. Stuffed French Toast. The description of this item reads "Back by popular demand..." so I guess I'm out of the majority here. But, seriously? Would you eat syrupy bread with glazed strawberries inside of it and on top of it? People really like sugar, I guess. This item is similar to the pancakes, as it has whipped cream and sugar, America's favorite apparently.
3.Banana Crepes with Nutella. This one is more of a normal breakfast staple. Crepes are often pared with Nutella...and I HATE IT. Nutella is just a gross version of peanut butter. I mean if you want to eat something "healthier" than peanut butter go with honey almond butter! It's actually rather good! Take out the Nutella with the breakfast item and you've got a winner.
4.Cheeseburger Omelette. No! Don't go bringing your "ihob" name into - too late. This omelette is topped with ketchup and mustard. That's just gross. Also the picture on the website just makes me sick to my stomach. Enough said.
5.Colorado Omelette. Want to kill a pig and a cow with one meal? Well, here you go! This omelette has shredded pork, bacon, sausage and ham stuffed inside it. The description even goes on to say that you get a side too, like three pancakes or hash browns. Man, anyone who orders this must be a college kid with the munchies. Or someone who just loves eating a ton of meat.

There were two omelettes on this list because the pictures just make them look so filling and heart-attack worthy. But, I did find it funny that there is a picture of an egg white omelette and it's all sad and flat compared to the other meat-filled ones. Don't get this list wrong though! I love omelettes! If I did the "create your own" option, mine would have cheddar cheese and spinach. Yeah, it would be sad and flat too.

As much as I love to douse my pancakes or waffles in syrup, I've never been a fan of the extra sugar (that sounds super contradictory). By that I mean flavored-syrup, whipped cream, sprinkles, fruit or any other crap you'd decorate your plate with. My little sister would always get strawberries on her pancakes and I always thought it was disgusting. If we went back to Ihob today she'd probably get those gross cake batter ones...yuck...

Was there anything that made my list that is your favorite? Let me know in the comments (you crazy person, you)!

Love,
glimmer

glimmer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 1: Crash Crate - Box Today we will be discussing the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box from numskull and Activision, known as the "Crash Crate". In articular, we are looking at the box itself. After all, all the goodies had to come in something fun and Crash Bandicoot-related, right? As you can see from the above image, the crate fits all of the items inside perfectly. When first opened, the mug was wrapped in bubble wrap. The piece of thick paper with a jungle image was combined with the Crash bottle opener, wrapped in a thin layer of plastic. Besides the missing plastic and bubble wrap, the above image does a good job of showing you all what it looked like when first opening the box. Now, let's talk about the design (my favorite part of the discussion). I pulled the above image off the fan-made Crash Bandicoot Wiki,  Bandipedia . God, you gotta love the names of these wikipe...

Today's Discussion is on Therapists I had my first ever therapist visit. Let's go over it together! Looking for a therapist is as stressful as applying for a job. I had to call my insurance, double check my plan, search on different websites, read their bios, check their location to make sure it isn't too far away from work or home, call them, get an appointment, figure out my co-pay, figure out my deductibles, fill out their forms, print out their forms and...ugh! But, I did it! Here we are. Luckily my insurance pulled a rabbit out of their hat and I only had a co-pay of $5.00. That's much cheaper than my sister or dad's therapists. As I have said before, my sisters and dad see a therapist. This was my first ever visit to a therapist, so I was quite nervous. Throughout the week I kept plotting in my head what could go horribly wrong. Would I just abruptly leave? What if the chair was not comfy? What if I started crying? Luckily none of those questions en...

g1immer's 3-Day Video Game Review! Shenmue 1 Re-Release Hi everyone! If you follow me on twitch, you may be aware that I picked up a physical copy of Shenmue 1+2 for the Playstation 4 on its release date (this Tuesday, 8/21/18). I will go over my experience with the game, pros and cons, memories it brings up, etc! I hope this won't be too scatter-brained, but let's dive right in! First off, this was a re-release, NOT a re-master or a re-make. The difference, to put it simply, is that a re-master has increased graphics and that is it. A re-make would be everything looks way more shiny and new. A re-release is basically just the game and all its bugs and quirks, slapped on the new system. Graphics may still look like they are from the 2000's, but that era always gives me the heart flutters (you are talking to a girl who loved her Nintendo GameCube so go figure)! The box came with a poster with the cover art and the image on the back of it, with some girl an...
