Coney island hard root beer
I don't drink beer. I never have, and never will. There's something about the taste that's off-putting to me. So the fact that I've been drinking these during a game night on and off? A miracle. Hard Root "Beer" tastes exactly like the soda, just... +

Hard Root "Beer" tastes exactly like the soda, just with the added oomph of alcohol. (All while not being overbearing and ruining the drink.)
A great drink for those who are overwhelmed by the taste of alcohol, and who wants to stick with a flavor palate closer to something familiar. Perfect for parties, too!

mcdonalds hash brown

Perhaps I've been spoiled growing up, but when I think of hash-browns from a fast-food restaurant, I tend to think of McDonald's version first. While your quality is going to differ between different locations, a well made McDonald's hashbrown is crunchy, salty, just a wee bit greasy, and absolutely terrible for you in all the right ways. I always need one when I go for breakfast. -

Pokemon's been a main-stay in gaming for people of all ages since the 90's. Niantic's newest vision for the franchise invites people to go outside and capture Pokemon in the real world, and they've succeeded in that goal. Despite the game's initial fad being over, the game still retains a large and active playerbase of dedicated fans. The addition of raids - bosses that take groups to take down - have introduced a new social element to the game that allows folks to meet new faces while out exploring.
The game can be played entirely free if you live in the city; the abundance of poke-stops in largely populated areas gives out free items to catch monsters, but those living in small towns or rural areas may find it to be a struggle to restock their in-game bags with pokeballs. (Thus, making the game more expensive or vastly more difficult to play.)
Pokemon GO, when played in the right areas, is an excellent game for the solo-player, friends, or the entire family if the children are old enough to handle smart phones responsibly.
This game is definitely not a fad and continues to evolve, even if at a slow pace. Definitely worth a try if for some reason you haven't yet.

Sometimes we're just too busy to actually cook some pasta on the stove-top. I tend to lean towards lean cuisine's offerings due to them being slightly more healthy than the average option, and the cheese ravioli tends to be one of my main picks. The sauce is tasty and they don't skimp on the ravioli fillings, however, I do find that the pasta tends to get hard around the edges. I personally don't mind under-cooked or harder pasta, but this may be off-putting to some. Still, a solid choice for when you're at work or on the go. -

The winter months can be excruciatingly dying for my skin, and with being stuck using only a bath-tub rather than a shower, I needed to find a bar soap that would help my skin remain soft. Purchased on a whim, I haven't had a problem with dry or itchy skin since I've started using Dove. The scent is also extremely light, and while I prefer more heavily scented soaps, I can't dock any points as this is a definite plus for most people with sensitive skin. -
