Junk Food Nation, let’s talk about Google Glass.  For those of you who don’t know what Google Glass is, look here.  Basically, it’s a thing you wear that is sort of like glasses (it’s more like just the top brim and nosepieces) that has a tiny piece of glass that BEAMS INFORMATION INTO YOUR EYES.  Future, meet present!

Google released a video of what they hoped and imagined this Google Glass would look like:

And then more recently, they loaded a video of what it actually IS, for now:

AMAZING.  I mean, it didn’t do everything from the first video – but the real time sharing of information directly from your line of sight? Some people think it’s invasive – ALL I SEE IS PROGRESS.  I love. I want. I need.

So how to get this?  Google is having a “contest” or sorts right now.  Click here for details: essentially, it’s a Twitter or Google+ contest where you discuss, in 50 words or less, what you would do “ #IfIHadGlass .” When you look at that hashtag’s timeline, you see that everyone from Newt Gingrich to Imogen Heap to Christian Ponder to Neil Patrick Harris have been tweeting about this!!!

Fine print: If you win the chance to get Google Glass, you have to pay $1500 (!!!!) for it, and attend special events.  But, in all of my stupid enthusiasm, I’d totally do it.  GIVE ME GLASS, GOOGLE!  So what would YOU do if you had Glass?  Tell me in the comments below, snarksters.

Today’s junk food: Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano!

Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano: The Money Shot

Special Edition Hershey’s bar from Mexico? Don’t mind if I do!

Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano: Er….Google Translate?

Here’s the thing…this apparently translates, via Google Translate, to: “sweet white chocolate flavor with crunchy pieces with natural blueberries.”  But the Junk Food Gal says arandano is a cranberry.  WTH.

Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano: SO NUTRITIOUS (I have no idea)

Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano: “Hershey’s, the Chocolate Experts”

Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano: Sort of looks like a cookies n creme bar

When I opened the package up, I did a tiny smell of slight cherry/cranberry/blueberry fruitiness.  Small, but it was there.  Time for a taste.

Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano: dried fruit?

I took a bite of this Edicion Especial Hershey’s Creme ‘n’ Arandano, and, as I expected…..MEH.  I mean, it’s quality Hershey’s white chocolate, delicious and sweet and milky.  But the key are those little nuggets, right?  Which I assume are dried cranberries or blueberries?  Well, they gave a SMALL tinge of fruity flavor (tiny), but other than that, crunched just like…well, not even like cookie.  They just crunched.  Without any real distinguishable quality.  So what I had was a nice a white chocolate bar and a bit of tiny dried fruit that didn’t really add much.

Some special edition, Hershey’s.  I’ll stick to your kisses.

PURCHASED AT: OXXO store in Mexico

COST: about $1.50
