Oh, the chicken biscuit. A genius invention, a delicious treat, and the perfect opportunity for Taco Bell’s new breakfast menu. How could you possibly make the chicken biscuit better? Turn it into a taco, of course! That’s exactly what TB has done, and I was lucky enough to try it this morning. You probably have a…

For the past year, I’ve spent most of my time researching the “science” of happiness. What makes people happy? What do happy people do differently? How can we become truly happy in our own way? A couple different theories continued to crop up. There’s one I want to focus on today: Gratitude. Yes, I’m sure…
Taco Bell launched their new mobile ordering app yesterday, and today I had the opportunity to test it out. You probably have a few burning questions, so I’ll knock those out of the way. How does it work? You pick your store and it takes you to the menu. From there you can choose what…
It was my senior year of high school, and I’d been dreading this moment all week. My hands were shaking, I was sweating, and I would have rather been almost anywhere else. I walked to the front of the room, plugged in my flash drive, and looked out at my classmates. 20 pairs of eyes were staring back…
It’s that time of year again. The pools are closing, the schools are opening, and the temperature is dropping. We’re mourning the end of summer, and need something to look forward to. Luckily, Lays chips have given us a reason to love fall, with their 2nd annual “Do Us a Flavor” contest! They’ve rolled out 4…
There will come a time in our lives when we’ll have a lot more disposable income. We’ll then be presented with a choice: continue to eat the cheap shit at Taco Bell, order the costlier items, or graduate to a different restaurant entirely. I’m here today to help you make this choice. Taco Bell’s Cantina menu has…
In our fast-paced, technological world, there are thousands of inventions every day. Some of them are life-changing, but many simply raise the question “Why the hell does this exist?” Fortunately, society has a system of supply and demand that weed most of them out. Nature has a similar system: it’s called Survival of the Fittest,…
I never listened to the radio growing up. It was filled with generic pop, shitty rap, and commercials, so I went the “indie” route. Then two years ago something changed: The pop wasn’t any less generic, the rap hadn’t gotten better, and there weren’t any fewer commercials. The change was inside of me, and I became obsessed…
For some reason I’ve been getting texts from Jack in the Box for the past year. This is strange because: 1. I don’t remember signing up for it.2. Why the hell would I sign up for that?3. I’ve been to Jack in the Box a total of three times in my entire life. Usually the deals…
You’ve probably seen the ads for Subway’s latest release: the Flatizza. I had a two-week long internal battle over whether to try it or not, and I’d like to save you from the same struggle. Here’s a quiz to figure out if the Flatizza is right for you: 1. What’s most important to your overall pizza experience?…
About three years ago, I had a vision. Everyone told me I was crazy, that it would never happen, that it sounded “totally disgusting.” What was this vision, you ask? A Taco Bell breakfast burrito. My plan was to work for Taco Bell, move up through the company, and eventually convince them to start serving…
Any holiday that can make math class suck slightly less deserves a blog post in its honor. Plus, who doesn’t love Pi(e)? The Mission: Memorize the first 100 digits of Pi. I had a bit of a head start on this one. My high school math teacher had a huge poster of pi that went all…
“Whatever you’re working on right now, whatever problem you’re struggling with, is probably addressed in some book somewhere by someone a lot smarter than you.” – Ryan Holiday Since I’ve started reading a lot more, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my life. I’m better at my job, have a clearer sense of purpose, and understand…
A couple weeks ago I was listening to the radio as I drove home from work. An awful, catchy pop song came on (which is about 80% of the radio), and I couldn’t help but think “I could definitely write something better than that piece of crap.” If these people can do it… then…
