There are few sweets in existence as well-rounded and satisfying as a cupcake. I’m pretty sure cupcakes may be the solution to all of the world’s problems, though it’d be tough to test that theory. I was just over at Cupcakes Take the Cake and it inspired me to write this post. How could I […]

Ice cream season is upon us! (okay, for me every season is ice cream season…but whatever) It’s finally hot out, and the tourists have begun to flood my hometown. One advantage to growing up in a tourist trap is that even though it’s boring and dead in the winter, in the Summer you’re surrounded by […]

I’m not sure where I first encountered this, but Melamine dinnerware is definitely some of the most satisfying dinnerware out there. It’s funky, it’s colorful, and so smooth. If you’ve never heard of it before, basically it’s this dinnerware that’s made out of really hard plastic-type material, and it’s known for being really colorful, durable, […]

Honestly, the reason I’ve been putting off writing an entry about elevator buttons is because every single time that I remember that I want to write it and I’m in my office building, I’ve forgotten my camera.

There comes a time in your life when you get a bargain - a really, really good bargain. The best bargains happen when you weren’t expecting them at such magnitude. Old Navy is famous for providing this unsuspected wicked satisfying experience.
I’ll admit, I don’t really shop at Old Navy that much. Their clothes tend to […]

One surefire way to make something that would otherwise be ordinary into something wicked satisfying is to make it smaller. I’m not sure why, but it just seems to work out that way. Cake -> cupcake, standard stapler -> mini-stapler, tree -> bonzai, you get the picture. Well it just so happens that toiletries are […]

You may recall from the Volkswagen entry that I mentioned that things that look like candy are satisfying. There’s not much to not be satisfied by with candy-like qualities. Well, electronic accessories are no different. In this ‘iPod generation’ that we’re being stampeded by, it’s hard to find somebody who doesn’t have headphones jammed in […]

Volkswagen makes some pretty satisfying-looking vehicles. I can say this without bias because, sadly, I don’t drive one. That doesn’t mean I can’t admire them from afar, though. I’m not taking into account the handling or luxury level of these vehicles, just the initial feeling upon seeing one sparkling in the sunshine or parked happily […]

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 […]

The inspiration for this post came from a couple of weeks ago when I eagerly scratched away a couple of tickets to reveal a total of a $70 win! I don’t really make a habit out of buying scratch tickets, but I have been known to have pretty good luck with them. The satisfaction that […]
