The Golden bit is appropriate in that this Eggnog; a “limited edition” Hood product; has an almost caramel aftertaste. That helps make it the sweet treat it is, especially when served ice-cold like the neighborhood in the illustration on the carton. There’s also a recipe for Eggnog Cake, which sounds good.

This Organic Eggnog; a Whole Foods Market product; is “Made with Milk from Cows Not Treated with rBST”. It’s also “ultra-pasteurized”. The one unhealthy thing about it is the cane sugar, though its sweetness is somewhat subdued. It’s good Eggnog but not as good as some other (non-organic) brands.

This Egg Nog; a Target “limited edition”; is indeed Good. It’s not good for you; egg nog is inherently sweet and even Organic sugar is bad for your health; but the ingredients list suggests it’s about as wholesome as the drink gets. The taste of nutmeg is splendidly dominant, but it would be better thicker.

There’s something deliciously inviting about sinking your top teeth into a layer of chewy caramel laid atop one of two crunchy “cookie bars”. They call them Twix, which supposedly stand for Twin sticks or stix. It’s the milk chocolate coating they would probably taste even better without.

“When you are presented with one pure Tone,” the audiologist says, “you hear one pure Tone.” He may be stating the obvious, but his return as a sample signature of Bass 305 is very much welcomed. Whether or not this is meant as a sequel to Pure Tone from their Future album, it “sounds” even better; thanks in part to its pretty pianos and stutter snares.

This “rich, creamy and perfectly sweet eggnog is a delicious indulgence for the holiday season.” That’s according to TG Lee. It is indeed good and sweet, but it would be richer and creamier (better) if it were made with whole instead of nonfat milk. The best way to consume it is with a mouthful of graham crackers.

“There’s no one like him,” Joe Rogan says of Jiří Procházka after this bout, “The guy thrives on chaos like no one else I think I’ve seen.” Indeed after clearly losing two rounds in what is mostly a technical striking match, he demonstrates just that in the third by dropping the formalities and initiating an all-out brawl. The “very very intelligent” Khalil Rountree tries to oblige and gets knocked senseless.

The title suggests a New Year’s Eve celebration as Mariah Carey, playing her rich vain self, taunts her ex-beau. “I don’t need no closure over you,” she says before letting him know he’s already been replaced. It’s easily one of her better songs thanks mostly to its tasteful (Tinashe-like) chorus, though, at just two and a half minutes long, the party ends a bit early.

You’ll be doing yourself a major disservice following the “serving instructions” of this Cheesecake Sampler, which says to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours. It’s good that way but tastes a lot better store-frozen; perhaps one of the best-tasting desserts I’ve ever consumed, in fact. It’s a damn shame it isn’t marketed (supposed) to be eaten that way.

“Each bottle of Callaway Blue spring water contains refreshingly pure water straight from the Georgia mountains,” the promo reads. Distilled is the best, but this is a nice natural; “minimally processed”; alternative. For rock water, it tastes better than you might expect, especially when you drink it cold.

These Puffs may be “made with real Reese’s peanut butter”, but you can’t really tell from the taste. They’re good but not very peanut-buttery. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are better and, if that’s an unfair comparison, so is Peanut Butter Crunch; a similar cereal without the bits of chocolate.

If not for MVP being controlled on the ground in the final round of his bout with Jared Cannonier; a flashy KO seemed near after knocking him down in the first two; every UFC 319 win would be a noteworthy one. Tim Elliott gets a surprise victory over Kai Asakura. Carlos Prates and Lerone Murphy deliver stunning back-to-back first-round spinning-back-elbow knockouts. Khamzat Chimaev dominates Dricus Du Plessis.
That last bit is somewhat of a head-scratcher; not because Chimaev starts the fight with his relentless wrestling as expected but that Dricus Du Plessis has no answer for it over the course of five rounds. I thought he’d find a way to win; he said he would and there is indeed a brief Silva/Sonnen-like moment near the end; but it’s as if, as Daniel Cormier suggests, his gameplan was to exhaust Chimaev, which never happens.
