What nerd doesn’t love Taco Bell and Mountain Dew? None that I know. Even though Taco Bell Breakfast won’t be fully nationwide until sometime in 2014, they have unveiled a new “Breakfast Dew” for those times when you play games all night long and then get a hankering for tacos. The new “Mountain Dew A.M.” is a mix of classic Mountain Dew and Orange Juice, so it’s like a Mimosa, but not in any way classy. Personally, the only thing I ever found that mixed well with Mountain Dew was Code Red and Peach Schnapps, which is absolutely delicious. So if your Taco Bell has breakfast, give it a shot, or make some up on your own and let me know what you think.

Ever since Taco Bell stopped selling Choco Tacos, there has been a definitive lack of food made to look like other food available in the fast food industry. Sure, as we previously reported, there was the Hot Dog Stuffed Pizza, but fortunately Carl’s Jr. has stepped in to help fill that void.

I haven’t really done any gaming marathons in a long time, since I was a Destruction Warlock in WoW running Kara and Gruul’s Lair waaaaay back in the day. Star Trek Online isn’t really a “marathon” type game, as it doesn’t have any content that takes longer than 45 minutes. But I’ve marathoned Star Trek or Planet of the Apes or Clerks movies many a time.

What can I say, my taste in cereal is like my taste in drinks. Things that are fruity and taste good.

While this isn’t food blog, I’ve had a bunch of food related entries of late, and I think the type of people who enjoy the mashup of Doritos and Tacos might also enjoy this tasty mix. Apparently it’s only been released in the UK as of now, with no plans for a US debut, but I think if we make enough noise they will bring it here, or if you are so inclined, just make one yourself. I give you, Hot Dog Stuffed Crust!

Welcome to a new column here at InsufficientScotty, Whatever Happened To. . . ? where I examine all those cool things from back when you were a kid that were totally awesome, but which you’ve probably since forgotten. This won’t necessarily be as nerdy as our other columns, but it should still be fun. If it doesn’t elicit at least a few “AWWWWWWW YEAHHHHS, I remember those, they were awesome!”, you had a very sheltered childhood.

My first Whatever Happened To. . . entry is on the Wendy’s Superbar. If you’re too young remember, there was once a time when in addition to Frosty’s and the best fast food fries (before they changed to the new recipe recently), Wendy’s dabbled in also being an Old Country Buffet, and they had a buffet bar called the “SuperBar”, pictured below.
