Cream Me, Baby. Er, I Mean, My Coffee...

Once I got my first sip of flavored liquid creamer, the plain powdered stuff might as well have turned into a spoonful of flour, a fine base for making something that wasn't coffee. Coffeemate original flavor? No, thank you. What is original flavor anyway?


Now Coffeemate's regular line of flavored liquid creamers? They have an impressively wide variety, only some of which work. You can taste a nasty tang in the others that make one long for a spoonful of flour. No wonder, given the long list of fake ingredients. Cinnamon anything is the worst and coconut the best. Pretty much all of it is artificial flavors.



By contrast, Coffeemate's Natural Bliss line with limited flavor variety: yum! International Delight makes richer and sweeter creamer with a fraction of the flavors of Coffeemate's regular line. Bailey's makes some of the richest and creamiest creamer with real dairy in a number of decadent flavors. And Dunkin' Donuts limited selection taste pretty good courtesy of International Delight.



Too bad none of the lines' Irish Cream is quite Irish enough and certainly won't make anyone tipsy. Not that you'd want such a thing when mainlining 20 cups in the morning or at work. Or maybe you do.




Now I just have to stalk excessive amounts of the shelf-stable stuff on Amazon.com. And the delicious flavored syrups used in coffee shops. But maybe that's just too deep an artificial flavor rabbit hole...

Super Friends Super Funnies!

TroublAlert: Where are these amazing cameras that somehow managed to find a tiny UFO? And show some random farmers. And show tons of things where cameras aren't installed. Man, Wayne Tech is goooood.

Marvin or Super Marvin - Less super (and dumber) than the dog. Except for one miswritten segment where they seemed to have switched his and Wendy's lines just to give him a chance. I guess his superleap

How'd he get selected for junior Superfriend membership anyway? No other eager, non-evil kids within biking distance of Super Friends HQ? Maybe he came as a package deal with Wonder Dog? Maybe he's one of the few people avid enough to visit the museum at the Hall of Justice. I mean, the grounds around the building are always deserted so they can't have many visitors.

Super Marvin + Wonder Dog = cheesier Shaggy and Scooby Doo only not quite as hungry. Wonder Dog even utters: "Ruh roh!" at one point. Stop stealing Scooby's shtick!

Robin: Holy idiots, Batman! Really, Robin's barely smarter than Marvin. It's a wonder he isn't a junior Superfriend too. Batman must have doubts as well, having to tell him, "Good job!" for a routine landing on a transom. Or scolding him to, "Keep off the grass" because they must obey all laws and signs everywhere, even if Robin fell on the grass by accident.

Colonel Wilcox, their government emergency liaison, uses a microphone a la TV news reporter. One episode, he changes to a nicer uniform. The very next episode, he gets mysteriously replaced by a younger model who is still called Colonel Wilcox. A la trading in for a younger wife. Is it his son? A nephew? Did he take a much-needed rejuvenating vacation? How can I book that vacation?

Wonder Twins: Oooo, I'm just a kid and can directly call for a superhero! Oh, no, wait, they're just junior heroes and not even cool superheroes for hire like Luke Cage or Iron Fist.

Zan gets carried around in a bucket by a monkey carried in turn by his sister, Jayna. Definitely not cool. Speaking of the bucket, where does Gleek keep it, under his cape?

Zan's lame power to turn into forms of water: Ice isn't strong enough to be used as a hammer or bolt cutter or whatever. They tried to make him cooler as ice rockets and such but what was the propulsion system, farting? Those are some fiery farts. Use for mopping should make him filthy. Where does he get the powder to make himself gelatin, carrying around Jell-O? Gleek: "Mmm, lime..."

Aquaman: Summons sword-fish to cut him out of ice or ships which they'd probably break themselves trying. Makes swordfish act as knitting needles to knit weak seaweed nets. Orders blowfish to blow air like bellows. Forces giant whales to push things which are probably too heavy. Rides giant seahorses. Insists manta rays plug up jagged holes in ships on which they could cut themselves. Way to treat your friends/subjects, King of the Sea.

Moving the Earth: Several times, Superman or Green Lantern move the Earth. Never shown are what should be catastrophic, apocalyptic consequences. Scooby Doo physics at work.

Inventing shrink rays: How many times can a shrink ray be invented? At least three times on the Super Friends' watch! It's no longer inventing after the first time, just copying. Or trending, to put it nicely. That goes for you too, Lex Luthor.wasn't too bad though, if cartoonishly unrealistic.
