Recently, Dunkin (Dounts) unveiled their newest addition to the food we all run on: Snackin' Bacon.
Dunkin has been excited about this menu item for weeks, and even geared their advertising to the Keto crowd. The product was made available in stores on February 26, and consists of 8 half-strips in a small sleeve. The bacon is smoked with natural cherrywood and then topped off with sweet and savory notes (brown sugar and black pepper).

Dunkin suggests that those interested in trying the Snackin Bacon pair it with a hot coffee with either French Vanilla, Caramel, or Hazelnut flavors.

My thoughts on Snackin Bacon:
I recently tried this new menu item and loved it! The pepper was definitely apparent, but the sweetness cuts the pepper flavor down to tolerable levels.

The Snackin Bacon is 190 calories and costs less than $3.

Straight up, I'm about to give you the low-down on the latest from the funnymen of Impractical Jokers. Their highly anticipated feature film dropped in theaters in early 2020 (pre-pandemic), and it did NOT disappoint.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Impractical Jokers, Impractical Jokers is made up of 4 life-long friends who compete in challenges in order to embarrass one another. They perform silly and outrageous stunts in front of unsuspecting crowds, and whomever loses the most challenges, is punished. The challenges on the show are unscripted and incredibly hilarious.

Anyway, for the movie, the movie begins in 1992 with the guys getting together to see a Paula Abdul concert. They don't have enough tickets to see her, so they sneak in, posing as security guards. They create a ruckus, angering Paula Abdul. She gets pissed and vows her revenge.
Fast forward 25 years later, the men are at Red Lobster and they spot Paula Abdul in the restaurant. Paula recognizes the men as the guys of Impractical Jokers and totally fangirls over them. She invites them to an exclusive party in Miami and has her assistant set it up. Her assistant hands lanyards to the guys. Unfortunately, there are only 3 for the 4 guys. The guys decide to make a road trip out of it. They perform their Impractical Joker show stunts on the way, and whomever loses the most challenges, has to sit out the party.

After many challenges, and side stories, the guys make it to Miami. Murr was the loser so he was left to his own devices while the guys go to the party. After some time feeling sorry for himself, Murr decides to crash the party, wearing the security guard costume that he wore at the beginning of the movie. After Murr is reunited with the guys, Paula recognizes the guys from the 1990s party and gets pissed. She goes completely apesh*t on them. She tells the guys she runs Miami and she is going to make the guys her b*tch. Joe breaks the tension by performing in front of the party. Paula joins him on stage, and they put on an interesting show. The movie ends with the guys at the beach, Joey Fatone singing "Forever Your Girl" in the background. The men are gifted with an opportunity to fly on Abdul's private jet, but only 3 of the men can go. Murr lost again, and his punishment is to be taped to a stunt plane.
Cue the credits

Some highlights of the movie:

• The freaking amazing 90s music in the beginning. I was legit bouncing in my seat.
• Paula Abdul telling the guys that season 5 of the show was a disaster. I beg to differ. The best part of season 5 was watching Murr get a prostate exam...twice. I literally cry laughing whenever I watch it!
• Q's Social Media Convention: OMG, Ya'll, this part had me crying I was laughing so hard.
  So, Q was chosen by the guys to talk at this convention of 600 people. Q had a slideshow of a guy who is a Social Media Influencer, and the guy was to talk about what it takes to be a social media influencer. Unfortunately for Q, the slideshow cut out to his parents, who were making a softcore porn video. The cutaway happened several times during the slideshow, and the reactions of the people in the crowd were priceless! Everyone in the theater was laughing hysterically.
• The guys celebrated Murr's birthday with scantily-clad dancing girls. The guys drew a curtain, which showed Murr's entire family, including his young nieces. The family saw Murr getting lap dances from these women. Of course, Murr freaked out and the guys laughed at him.
• Sal and his Jaden Smith tattoo.
  In one of the challenges, Sal goes to a movie Q and A. The movie stars Jaden Smith and, of course, the tattoo came up. The guys had Sal go up to Jaden and show him the tattoo. Jaden said he doesn't look like that anymore and that he needs to change the tattoo. The guys take Sal and Jaden to a tattoo studio, where Sal gets an updated tattoo of Jaden, on his opposite leg.
• Possible cameo by Will Ferrell.
  So, I'm not sure, but I think Will Ferrell made a cameo in one of the scenes from Miami. The scene is when Murr is at a restaurant and women are talking to him. In the background, there is a middle-aged man with curly hair. This guy is a dead ringer for Will Ferrell. If any of you have seen the movie, please message or retweet me to confirm that I'm not crazy.
• Car breakdown challenge.
  During the road trip to Florida, the men pretend to breakdown. They try to see if drivers will stop to help them. Joe was able to get one guy to stop, and the guys challenged him to have the guy walk around the car a few times. I have to hand it to the driver, he was a good sport. He obliged Joe and walked around the car.

This movie was equal parts challenges and back story. The challenges were hilarious, the story was mildly entertaining, and it looked like the guys left the window open for another movie.

I am a huge fan of the show and have been for many years. I went into the movie as an unbiased reviewer. Was it the best movie I've ever seen? No. At certain points, the back story was a little dry.
However, I do recommend it if you're looking for an overall funny movie. The challenges will make it worth your while.

The movie is streaming on HBO MAX, as well as every season of the show.
