Aside from the mass power outages, property damage, hazardous driving conditions and other catastrophes caused by dear Mother Nature’s wintry wrath, you have to admit that getting a megadump of snow is wicked satisfying.
Despite the fact that I’m not in school anymore, I can’t help but feel that familiar giddiness when I see weather reports […]

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, […]

Hey there, everyone. Sorry the blog seemed to drop off the face of the Earth for like, a week. My bad!
Let’s move onto our next Wicked Satisfying thing - turning a gumball machine handle. I think the product designers are onto us Satisfytes - knowing full well that creating something that’s shiny, makes clicking sounds […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
