Shortly after writing the article about Jeff Bezos’ then-upcoming trip to space, Sir Richard Branson caught headlines by announcing he would also be going to space. Not only that, he was going to beat Bezos to space by a week as a passenger on Virgin Galactic’s spaceship. Now that both...
Hard not to be sad to miss out on watching an athlete like Michael Phelps compete this year. I'll be surprised if his records are ever broken.

As the Tokyo summer Olympics approach, we thought it would be fun to take a look at the most successful Olympian of all time: American swimmer Michael Phelps. He’s competed in 5 Olympic games over the course of his career, starting at the young age of 15 in Sydney, Australia. While he didn’t win...
How much would you spend on a ticket to Space? I'm not sure it's worth $28 million + risk of exploding...

Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, recently announced he would be taking an 11 minute ride into Space on July 20th. This flight comes just two weeks after he formally steps down as the CEO of Amazon on July 5th, the ecommerce empire he built from scratch over the course of 25+ years. The...

I included the table of the beers and individual rankings for those that are curious. Let us know if we missed any we should include in our next tasting!

This came as the biggest surprise of the test. We aren’t sure if we have bad taste buds or if Bud Ice is better than we give it credit for, but it came in and won our test. The results were a bit polarizing for this beer, the testers seemed to love it (ranked 1 or 2) or dislike it (ranked lower...
Somehow these three beers came in with the exact same average rank, giving us a 3 way tie for 2nd place. All three are light and easy to drink, perfect for a hot summer day on a budget. Walmart sells a 30 rack for less than <$18 in most places, making them an ever better deal.
Average Rank: 4.25
The go-to college beer of choice for most of the older crowd, this is the first beer to break into the top 5. Hard to go wrong with this one, and you can even buy them in a massive 32oz can for less than $3 at a gas station. What more could you want?
Average Rank: 4.375
This was a bit of a surprise, coming in above both Lone Star and Busch Light. The tasters seemed to like this one more than expected.
Average Rank: 4.5
Busch Light was the cheap beer of choice for multiple testers going into this, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to get it into the top 5. Testers concluded this one was “OK”, “Decent”, and “flavorless”.
Average Rank: 5.125
Even the Texan testers couldn’t get behind this Texan beer. While it’s certainly better than Schlitz and Steel Reserve, Lone Star didn’t fare well in our testing.
Average Rank: 6.625
Apart from one outlier, Steel Reserve also ranked last or close to last for every tester. Again, not something we’d drink again unless absolutely necessary.
Average Rank: 8.125
This was the opposite of a fan favorite, as basically every tester ranked this beer dead last or second to last in their rankings. If this was the only alcohol available on a deserted island it may be drinkable, but until then you’re better off sticking to something else.
Average Rank: 9.625
Everyone beer drinking has their favorite “cheap” beer. Whether it be at a time of need or you’re just craving something cheap, big gas station beers are hard to beat. After some debate about which of these beers was the best, we decided to set up a blind taste test with 10 different beers. We...

We realize we missed a few potential competitors, we could only eat so many chicken sandwiches. If you've tried one from another fast food chain and think it should be on top, let us know! Wendy's? Churches? Jack in the Box? Plenty of options in this chicken sandwich war.
Poor Burger King. It was busy that day. Order #94 at the drive-thru was a Hand Breaded Chicken with fries and a root beer. Order #81 at dine-in was a Spicy Hand Breaded Chicken with fries and a coke. Somehow the sandwiches got switched. Somebody wasn’t happy that their spicy sandwich wasn’t...
