Peeling a vegetable or fruit with a peeler is wicked satisfying for a lot of reasons. First, you have your whole item that’s just waiting to be peeled. It’s best if you have a nice dirty potato because you can fully appreciate each swipe of the blade as it exposes the shiny clean potato underneath. […]

The sun is shining today and it’s actually starting to feel warm. This means beach weather isn’t far away, and, lucky for us Satisfytes, the beach is absolutely loaded with satisfying things! But I will try to contain myself until Summer for all of those. Thinking about the beach made me think of how satisfying […]

Sitting at my desk today looking out at the pouring rain collecting on the window, it occurred to me that this blog was long overdue for one of the most obvious wicked satisfying things - squeegees. For those unfamiliar, a squeegee is this t-shaped tool with a handle and a rubber blade on the end […]

Pomegranates are one of those weird foods that are insanely rewarding to pick apart, but many people aren’t even aware of them. Due to the whole recent antioxidant craze, poms have gotten a lot more recognition. You may have taken a swig of the ever-tangy Pom Wonderful beverage. I tried it once…yergh. But to each […]

Walking into a store like Staples or Office Depot, opportunity for satisfaction abounds. Office supplies, for the most part, are pretty wicked satisfying. I’m sure there will be some entries dedicated to other supplies to come (the Pilot G-2 anyone??), but for this entry, I’m going to talk about paper. If you’ve been to […]

It’s Spring, and as anyone who’s ever sat through a poorly orchestrated HGTV or TLC show knows, ’tis the season for home improvement. Just as the bears and other forest-dwelling creatures emerge from hibernation, so do the frustrated, cooped up DIYers, migrating back to their beloved homelands of Home Depot and Lowe’s in their SUVs […]

Opening a new bottle of pills is a pretty satisfying experience all around. First you have the little neat box that you can shake to hear the pills inside. Then you open the box and toss the unsatisfying instructions out. Then, you peel off the protective plastic on the bottle, revealing a fresh pill cap […]

I suppose this kind of approaches the borderline between the ‘wicked satisfying’ things in this blog and other types of satisfaction, but we couldn’t let Easter go by without talking about the most satisfying Easter candy in existence - the epic legend known as the Cadbury Creme Egg. Cadbury Eggs go from a snack to […]

Stamping a library book slip is an endangered satisfying experience, soon to be completely extinct as a result of being replaced by scanning a bar code, but it’s worth searching for. Why do you think Belle was so obsessed with books- Reading?? Psh. That’s what she wants us all to think. I’m pretty sure her […]
