Reviewed Brooke Bond Red Label

Strong, Flavorful

Brooke Bond Red Label is a strong flavored, well-balanced black tea that makes a very good cup of milk tea, or masala chai if you are so inclined. To be honest, I never heard about Brooke Bond Red Label before as it is a hard to find brand in NYC. You can't find it here except at a South Asia...Read more

Miso Soup for what ails you in a cold Nuclear Win

RIP Cattle Car 3000, Gone But Not Forgotten
Canada 3000

Not Terribly Exciting Unless you Work with TVs

This software will not help create your own logos for a Nokia cellphone, but what it will do is display mind-numbing test patterns, and color charts. If you are really, really bored, and possibly bombed out of your gourd, then download it and start messing around with your monitor. Nokia Test...Read more

Milo or Ovaltine?

Remember Ovaltine? Well there is Milo. It is a chocolate malted health drink made with malt sugar, powdered milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and a variety of powdered vitamins and minerals including calcium.
