When the p**p hits the cooling unit, you want sustenance that tastes good and keeps you nourished. I tried this dangerous experiment: eating only food from a 72-hour emergency food supply for 72 hours. It was actually pretty easy, except for the lack of variety. Here are the details and who should consider getting this $29 kit.

Now they've done it! Those SOBs put a garden in a cup! What will they think of next?

It's pricey, but for a specific demographic, Gardencup may be worth it. As for us, we'll continue to flirt with scurvy.

Gardencup is an excellent way to sneak more nutrient-dense produce into your diet. We tried several of their offerings and give you the low down on how it wa...

Would you look at those beauties? We teamed up with Lansing's top drag performer, Alicia Boom Boom Chablis, to review the Retro Smeg Toaster in Pink. We loved the unit's look and thought her performance was impressive. The toaster is also great!

We don't recommend spending less than $1,000 on a mattress, but we understand not everyone has that kind of money lying around in this economy. For $400, it's hard to beat the Brooklyn Bedding Select mattress. It's especially great for sexy, er, I mean, hot sleepers, like if you tend to overheat. I also found the plush feel was ideal for side sleeping. Learn more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgkFvCDeyhA

Are you hesitant to buy a mattress because you worry you'll need a doctor's prescription? Well, that's just stupid. I've never heard of a mattress that requires a prescription, and I've tested the Saatva Rx! Here are my thoughts on it: https://youtu.be/_Q9Dxu1TXes?si=025BT35eSCpDPV--

For the latest Mocktail Hour, we try HOP WTR. Erin is a stan, but James found the flavors to be hit or miss and wanted to add bourbon to them. What an ass!

In honor of Patriots Day, we're celebrating Canadian bedding brand Silk & Snow. At about $1,000, it's surprisingly cool and comfortable, though we found it annoying that the firmer mattresses are cheaper. Why should I be PENALIZED for being a side sleeper?

For a $1,000 mattress, the Silk & Snow Plush Hybrid Mattress is an excellent option. I loved the zoned support and pressure relief. Plus, it comes with a 365...

We spent the afternoon drinking with the innovators at Maker's Mark to get the low-down on their new cellar-aged expression. It's damn good, but pricey. I'd mostly just recommend it for the hardcore collectors and MM stans.

I got exclusive early access to Maker's Mark's 2025 Cellar Aged bourbon, including a tasting with Blake Layfield, Master Distiller and Head of Innovation, an...

Do you suffer from "Sweaty Beddy Syndrome"? I hope not because I just made that up. It's not a thing. But if you're a hot sleeper on a budget and are sick of drenching your mattress with your sweat dreams, consider this Zinus mattress.

Taking a cue from the talented Ruby Franke, we made our son participate in one of our YouTube videos. I think he's a natural.

Ivan, our 11-year-old Lego reviewer, assembled the 1,343-piece Minifigure Vending Machine, designed for adults 18 years and older. He and the Brains Report t...
