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 […]

Cutting anything out of anything is generally pretty satisfying, you have to admit. But…there’s that extra special little something that comes with executing a cleanly cut cookie. It’s probably because cookie dough is similar to other wicked satisfying things that we’ve covered like clay and fondant. All of these can be cut into smooth creamy […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I neither enjoy nor particularly understand the appeal of Anime. My love for videogames runs deep and I will say that I’ve encountered plenty of Anime-style characters, but I’m not one to sit down and read Manga or anything. That said, I think it’s pretty clear to Anime-lovers […]

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 […]

There are few satisfactions in videogames equivalent to that of the Tetris. I went most of my life not even knowing that this magical culmination of perfectly aligned, geometric goodness was actually referred to as a “Tetris”. I thought that was just what the game was called for whatever reason, didn’t question it, and said […]
