Beach season is coming to a close for some folks. How did this summer fly by so fast without my going to the beach more than a few times!? The shame. Whether you’ve been a beach bum or a sun-fearing hermit this summer, you know what I’m talking about when I say that drip sandcastles […]

My best friend and I have this theory about how the deliciousness level of food goes up significantly when it’s not yours. This manifests itself in two ways:
1. You’re over someone’s house and they have/their family has cooked you a meal. This could be something as simple (yet monumental) as a grilled cheese sandwich, and […]

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, […]

Frosted glass is one of those things that, when you see it, you just want to touch it. Think back to the fond days of being dragged into Hallmark because your mom needed to pick out greeting cards, feeling bored and hungry, wandering over to the candles to smell them all, and being told “look […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
