Junk Food Nation, my mind is sufficiently frazzled from watching that ridiculous Brazil-Croatia game and the blowout Spurs win last night.  Wait…World Cup starts again today at noon??? Thank God it’s Friday.

TODAY’S TURKEY HILL FREE COUPON WINNER:

Kudos to everyone who tweeted me yesterday!  I know its hard to get anyone to do anything they don’t have to, so 15 tweets? I’m blown away! Like I said, I would choose two winners…and they are @DevinTHudson and @JohnRhem1. Congrats, you two! Email me your contact info to Junkfoodguy@junkfoodguy.com and I’ll get the free coupon in the mail to you!

TODAY’S WAY TO WIN A FREE 1.5 QT OF TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM:

For today’s way to win, we’re heading BACK to Facebook.  This time, you’ll have to COMMENT to win, and it will be very similar to yesterday’s contest. Here’s how it will go down – I’ll be sending out a Turkey Hill Facebook Post on my Facebook page @ exactly 1:30pm EST. You don’t have to LIKE, but if you want to win, you’ll have to COMMENT.  Instructions for the comment:

1) Tell me who you’re rooting for in the World Cup,

2) Tell me your favorite Turkey Hill All-Natural ice cream flavor or flavor you’d most like to try (there’s a list RIGHT HERE), and

3) Hashtag it #TRKAmbassador

EXAMPLE COMMENT: “Brazil, Salted Caramel #TRKAmbassador” or  “USA, Mango #TRKAmbassador”

See? Very simple! Looks just like yesterday’s contest!  Do it to it this weekend, Junk Food Nation!

DRINKABLE SUNSCREEN?

So when I was out the other night, my friend Marc asked me if I had heard of drinkable sunscreen.  After I almost spit out my drink and cried out “WHAT!?” he explained: there’s a product out there called Harmonized Water that claims that upon drinking “it will protect against ultraviolet rays up to sun protection factor (SPF) 30 for three hours.”

Holy crap. Considering that most sunscreen I’ve worn smells like fake coconut and I shudder at the thought of ingesting that stuff, this sounds like both a horrible and fascinating idea to me.  According to its website, this version of Harmonized Water, deftly named “UV Neutralizer,” neutralizes UV rays and, according to its numerous testimonials, “really works!” Of course, it doesn’t say HOW it works.  Cough cough.

Also, UV Neutralizer is not the ONLY water that Harmonized Water sells.  Apparently, they make waters that, upon drinking, prevent mosquito bites, minimizes hangovers, increase libido, and reduces menstrual cramps! Wait, where’s the water that makes me grow a few inches taller and deposits $50,000 in my bank account? That’s sure to be around the corner.

What do you think, Junk Food Nation? Snake oil or substance?  Perfection or poison?  Let me know in the comments below, and whether this or any of the other waters intrigue you.

TODAY’S JUNK FOOD: Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries!

Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries: The Money Shot

Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries were purchased the same time as the Cheese Pizza Waffle Rounds. I’ve reviewed fry-like snacks before, so add this to the list!  Let’s do photos and get right to the taste test.

Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries: 150 per serving

Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries: Blue Cheese and Cheddar Cheese

Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries: Hollowed out fries

Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries: Covered in cheese powder

Chester’s Poppers Cheddar Crunch Fries were nice and crispy.  The hollowed out structure made them less crunchy than Ruffles Crispy Fries.  These were more light and crispy and reminded me a lot of the texture of some hummus chips I’d had in the past.  Light, crispy, but kind of disintegrated when met with saliva and chewing.

The initial flavor of these was also pretty good, and it ought to be since these chips were blasted with powder.  Very cheesy upfront, with a hint of sour cream.  I was almost going to put the flavor on the same level as the Ruffles Crispy Fries, but two things left these short: 1. the flavor faded VERY quickly – once the powder came off onto my tongue, all that was left was the underlying fry, and 2) the underlying fry taste, for some reason, didn’t have that wonderful potato-ey flavor that the Ruffles version had.

All in all, these weren’t horrible, but I would still buy the Ruffles Crispy Fries over these 10/10 times.

Have a good weekend, everyone!  And keep entering these Turkey Hill contests!
