Panera – Breakfast Power Sandwich

Posted on December 10, 2009 | 1 Comment

Do you like to get up early and take on the day? I knew you did. I went to Panera for breakfast this morning and saw they had a new sandwich. The Breakfast Power Sandwich is a gussied up version of a McMuffin for around $4, but if you are eating at Panera, you already knew that. This sandwich sports black pepper ham, freshly cooked egg and Vermont white cheddar on whole grain bread. The sandwich boosts 23g of protein, but also comes with 360 calories and 14 g of fat. It’s a good breakfast, but due to its high price point, McD’s gets my business.

Wrigley 5 Solstice Gum

Posted on December 7, 2009 | Leave a comment

This gum is marketed as having a “warm and cool winter” flavor. As a result, I was expecting some sort of fascinating cinnamon and mint combination; instead, I just got what tasted like a hybrid of two types of mint. It’s difficult to discern, but I think the flavor is spearmint and wintergreen. This combo made for a distracting mint competition in my mouth. To make things worse, all of the wrappers in my package had an unsettlingly sticky feel.

This confused gum should pick one side of the mint fence or pioneer with an innovative flavor. It does neither.
