The Second Debate Between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney

If you happened to miss the second election debate of 2012, which aired on 10/16/12, you're in luck- the entire thing is available for your viewing pleasure on YouTube.

I'll have some more in-depth commentary about this one, but for now I'll just say that Obama was the clear victor here. Unlike the first debate, Obama did a great job catching Romney in all of his lies.

Democrats: 2. Republicans: 1.

Grown-Ups Killed His Kitty

I know that sounds strange, but I'm serious. Grown-ups killed this little boy's cat. The resulting letter, dictated by the boy, Rayden, to his father, has gone viral.

I understand that we're all human and that errors occur, but wow... what a terrible mistake to make. I feel awful for the little boy, but also for the staff member whose carelessness resulted in the cat's untimely death. That would be a terrible thing to live with, at least for me.

Organization and attention to detail(s) are vital in this line of work.

Get Unreal

So, as I've said in previous posts, I'm a BzzAgent. Occasionally, I'm given the opportunity to try products for free (or at a discounted price) in exchange for providing my honest feedback. Recently, I was given the opportunity to try a new line of candy, Unreal. The name is a bit ironic because the ingredients for these products are actually real. That is, if you were to read the list of ingredients on the wrapper, you would recognize each ingredient. Unreal candy products don't contain corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil, artificial ingredients, GMOs, preservatives, AND they can boast a low glycemic index. When compared to similar products- for example, you can view this comparison between Unreal 5 and Milky Way- Unreal's products tend to have fewer calories and more of the "good stuff", such as protein and fiber.

Of course, the most important question is, how do Unreal's candy products taste? A lot of "all natural" offerings tend to be lacking in the flavor department. I'm very happy to report that I've tried all of the Unreal candies that are currently on the market and I've enjoyed each and every one of them. My favorites are the Unreal 5 and the Unreal 8, which could be compared to a Milky Way and a Snickers, respectively. The only thing I really noticed about the Unreal candies was the difference in texture (compared to other candy products on the market, such as M&M's and Snickers). The texture is a little more firm and not quite as "gooey." For example, when you bite into a Milky Way, the result is a gooey mess of caramel and nougat; when you bite into an Unreal 5, it's not quite as "gooey", but the flavor is still there.

Overall, I highly recommend the Unreal candies. They won't break your bank (they only cost about twenty cents more than many other candy products) and they deliver a lot of flavor without the "junk" ingredients found in their competitors' products.

So, get un-junked. Get Unreal. It's a healthier way to satisfy a sweet craving.
