Late U.S. president Ronald Reagan was probably the most well- known jelly bean connoisseur and if you are a fan of jelly beans you understand his passions. Jelly beans are those kinds of candies that always seem to disappear first when set out in bowls among other types of sweet treats.

Did you know that over three tons of jelly belly jelly beans were shipped to the White House for the inaugural festivities in 1981? It is true. Jelly Belly beans became very famous because of that and the flavor blueberry was made especially for the inauguration so that there would be red, white and blue jelly beans on hand. And by the way, the blueberry flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans are still available and one of the current favorites. Just for the sake of trivia, president Reagan’s favorite flavor of Jelly Belly beans was licorice, in case you are ever asked.

Jelly beans themselves are an American original, dating back to the 1800s. The penny candy boom was huge in the US and by the 1960s the Jelly Belly jelly beans were king of the candy aisles. Today there are many, many flavors available and each offers its own mouth-watering jelly bean experience that is second to none! If you like jelly beans then you are going to love jelly belly beans because they are the best on the planet!

Accent Your Own Trail Mix With Wasabi Peas

May 17th, 2011

If you like to make your own trail mix instead of purchasing the readymade kinds you may be wondering how some of the major trail mix brands get their signature flavors and spices that seem to accent each handful. Some of this comes down to using a special spice or sauce over the trail mix, but in reality most of the time that special crunch or taste usually is a mixture of the crumbs of different food items rubbing off and mixing in the bag to create signature flavors that are hard to resist such as the small tang of Wasabi Peas.
By tossing together the right materials you can easily get the taste that you are after so that every bite is worth it and cherished. Outside of the peas, you may want to think about adding some peanuts, pretzels, sunflower seeds, cashews, peanuts, raisins, and just a little bit of chocolate. The result will be a scrumptious treat that you will find hard to put down and even harder to keep your hands out of every time that you wonder into the kitchen for a snack. Plus, you will also get a very healthy snack that is high in taste and protein and low in unhealthy fats making it an even better idea for those who want to snack healthily on items besides chips.

Why The Top Of The Line Acoustic Guitar Strings Are The Best Choice

May 9th, 2011

When it comes to buying guitar strings many people are tempted to stick with the cheapest choices on the market due to the fact that they do not hold up that long. It is no secret that if you are a frequent guitar player you will break a few strings here and there which could mean anywhere from every month to every few weeks, depending on how harshly you play and how frequently you play. Therefore, if you are always replacing them it makes sense to want to purchase an inexpensive brand.

However, the fact that you always buy cheap acoustic guitar strings may actually be the reason that they break on a regular basis, because cheaper brands are not made of the same materials and are more lightweight and prone to snapping. Therefore, if you really want to prevent your strings from breaking every time you pick up your guitar or an inopportune times such as when you are performing your best bet is to spend a little more money on quality strings that will be able to withstand constant playing which will end up lasting longer and ironically saving you money in the long run since you will not have to purchase half as many replacements.

Is Ammonia Refrigeration Dangerous?

May 3rd, 2011

In today’s overly litigious society, any product with any potential ability to harm is immediately branded as “dangerous” and banned. Sometimes the product represents a real threat in one setting, but is perfectly harmless in another. This is the case with ammonia refrigeration.

Early models of household refrigerators ran ammonia gas through the compressors and evaporators found in nearly every refrigerator. But when released in an enclosed area, ammonia gas can be extremely hazardous. So in the 1920’s, ammonia was replaced with synthetic chlorofluorocarbons, commonly known as Freon in most household refrigeration units.(Of course these gases come with their set of worries, namely that they do damage to the ozone layer.)

But ammonia refrigeration was far from done. It has been used continuously in large scale industrial refrigeration units for over one hundred years. So what gives? How is a little bit of this gas unsafe at home in the refrigerator, but safe when used in huge amounts at a factory? When used in a closely regulated and monitored environment, ammonia gas is perfectly safe. In fact, a large scale ammonia gas release in an open area would cause almost no harm.

Too many useful products are branded as unsafe when, in fact, they can be used safely in the right situation.

Helping My Family

April 27th, 2011

The weakening state of the American economy is manifesting itself in countless ways. I was helping my sister move last month and it was a troubling day. I hadn’t seen her in over a year, and it had also been six months since we last spoke. She recently lost her house and was moving into a one-bedroom apartment. As I arrived that morning I expected to see her little dog bolt out of the backyard and start trying to jump all over me, like he does to any guest. However, my sister informed me that she had to give her dog away because it was too costly to care for him. She even went so far as to sell her pet carriers on eBay.

Utterly stunned upon hearing this, I asked her why she didn’t tell any of us sooner about her mounting financial problems. My sister has always been too proud to burden anyone with her troubles, and when she moved up north a couple years ago it’s gotten harder and harder to keep up with what’s going on in her life. She doesn’t use Facebook and only lets people know stuff after it’s too late to do anything. I’ve never understood why she does this, but hopefully now she will change.

Creative Ways To Decorate Your Dorm

April 15th, 2011

If you’ve been living in your dorm for a while and you are tired of how it looks, then redecorating it with some new lighting and furniture could really make it a place of tranquility and relaxation instead of a messy place to sleep. College life can be very demanding and if you don’t have a place where you can recharge, then your life can get very stressful very quickly. Make sure you are comfortable in your own dorm room so that you can get things done without stressing out. Decorating it with some led string lights that create a relaxing mood can help. Also, getting at least one comfortable chair can make a big difference as well.
Comfort doesn’t always mean nice furniture and comfortable beds. You can create a great environment with some nice speakers, some candles, and relaxing music. Putting rope lights around the room and turning off your regular lights can really make a big difference when trying to do homework or study. Many people drop out of college because they can’t handle the stress. Sometimes it really is because they don’t have anywhere to relieve it and simply relax for an hour a day. Your dorm room can be this place if you decorate it creatively and with purpose.
