@cheapshow.bsky.social @e-loud.bsky.social DOOT DOOT DO DO DO DOOT DO DOO Here is a #SauceReport for the Blackpool and Fylde Coast region. Wendy's "signature" blend is primarily Dijon mustard, mixed with Worcester and soy sauces and a bit of pickle relish. And now, over to Rod for the weather.

Original Spider-Armour, featured extensively on the hologram cover to Web of Spider-Man #100 and instantly destroyed in that same story. My favourite part of PS4 Spider-Man was getting to unlock it after one chapter of the DLC.

Bought this purely to satisfy my curiosity, it's violently strong. I mean like paint-stripper strength. I honestly don't think we'll buy it again, a generic alco-pop without the illicit thrill of hyper-caffeinated energy drink joining in.

They never should have taken it out of Pot Noodles! Or discontinued Pot Spaghetti, Pot Rice... But the one that hurts the most, the most tangible terrible loss to so many of us is:

Fascinating new side offered at my local coffee shop here in "Posh Blackpool", the #NoFilter presents a tray of jalapeno poppers for six quid. WARNING: filling v. hot and runny, but tastes great mixed in with the mayo. #SnackPalace🌶️🌶️🌶️

Got me a 4k Ultra-Hi-Def disc of the greatest work in John Carpenter's thematic Apocalypse Trilogy, so let's make like WWE Network's presentation of ECW One Night Stands and fire up something a bit like Enter Sandman but legally distinct... Because it's time to dive In The Mouth Of Madness!

Hell yeah, that's a sandwich I'd have for lunch. Along with a serving of perfectly golden crispy fries artfully drizzled with the same curry ketchup and sprinkled with crunchy fried onions.

Ever since my previous American import candy supplier of choice started being arsey about taking non-PayPal payments, I'd been reticent to try another. Until today, when I discovered the rather reasonably-priced WorldSnacks, selling much the same sort of items and possibly more!

@britishcrisps.bsky.social @cheapshow.bsky.social These are a welcome surprise! Part of the latest Indian-inspired product rollout at Aldi. Give off a pleasing aromatic huff of spices that soon go full SWAT team battering-ram on your tongue, you'll be wanting a cool drink handy. #TheSnackPalace

Idea for the opening shot of a murder-mystery film:
Man (late 50s) found with "internal decapitation" and his penis up to the hilt in a cup of McDonald's strawberry milkshake. No marks on the body, no obvious signs of a struggle anywhere. Initial X-ray reveals missing disc in spinal column...

In case anybody's interested, the things I mentioned in a previous post are real items that they will give you from the counter of their respective fast-food chains as long as you ask for them, and they've got any to spare.

Ooh hey, look what's on the corner of Cannon Street, down Fishergate in Preston's town centre now. @cheapshow.bsky.social they don't do the red beans n' rice like in America though (it's the best fucking side at Popeyes!)

I've bought myself a decent-sized bag of these, on the recommendation of Mr. @e-loud.bsky.social because I'm a guy who loves Buffalo wings. The spicy tang is there, just lurking on the edges underneath that creamy, yogurty blue cheese flavour. #TheSnackPalace

That's a wonderfully evocative, creepy painted poster for Amicus Productions' finest horror anthology. Soon to be winging its way in Blu-ray disc format towards my front door.

The same ghost dog mysteriously appeared just now in this photo on my camera reel, and I haven't even started to watch your new video yet!

Dear friends, please do enjoy another excellent photo of our lovely doggo house guest. The most delightful Maisie, sweetest pupper in the whole world.

A little bit of boozy extravagance, straight from my Amazon wish list. Definitely very curious to try a combination of moonshine and cream soda, could become a semi-regular thing for social drinking if it's that damn good.

Happy birthday to Star Wars survivor, Ewan McGregor's uncle and Dead Head's man in the wrong place at the wrong time, Mr. Denis Lawson. Seriously, find the 1986 BBC TV show Dead Head and watch it, it's fucking brilliant '80s neo-noir.

Fascinatingly weird pop flavour seen on the shelves of Texas-based supermarket chain H-E-B. And I also saw somewhere that AriZona will be releasing a chocolate "egg cream" soda in cans for a limited time thing...

Yes, that one guy totally exists and has been in and out of Doctor Who magazine comic strips since the very late 1980s.

Had a delightful afternoon walk with Maisie doggo on my scooty-scoot just now, there has been a free music festival and "Fantasy Fayre" on in Ashton Gardens for the bank holiday weekend. We've found some little-seen shops & takeaway places too!

@britishcrisps.bsky.social @cheapshow.bsky.social Picked up a good find at a nearby Co-Op yesterday. They've a good pungent garlicky first huff on opening the bag, and rather a pleasantly sweet "black garlic" kind of taste, although that may just be the corn used to make the chip. #SnaxStarz

It's taken a lot of planning, but finally I'll be the owner of a deluxe Steelbook set of both the original Fright Night and its sequel in the highest-definition Blu-ray versions that money can buy. I had such a crush on Charley's love-interest from the second movie (Traci Lin) growing up...
