McDonald’s Happy Meal Minions
The Minions movie is
finally here and to celebrate I want to be consumed with as much hype as
possible. Thankfully McDonalds is also
celebrating the movie by releasing Minions themed Happy Meals. I love McDonalds, so of course I had to get a
Happy Meal. They’re not only delicious
and affordable, but also bring back great memories of when I was a kid (though
my parents rarely used to buy them).
The box is
beautifully designed with pictures of the minions on each side, making it a
wonderfully keepsake. The chicken nugget
box, soft drink cup and yogurt are also decorated with minions. Of course if you’re a collector, the best
part of a Happy Meal is the toy, which McDonalds released with Minions
figures. While they aren’t poseable
figures, they still are colourful enough to be nicely displayed. McDonalds did an excellent job with this
Happy Meal, and I'm sure they will provide many kids (of all ages) with wonderful
memories.

Vans Authentic Lows
One of the brands
that I am now enjoying is Vans sneakers.
The company started back in 1966 by Paul Van Doren. Paul believed he could create a durable
sneaker using 10 oz. duck canvas, and thick rubber. Of course the rest was history because his
quality sneakers took off with the skate and surf society. His sneakers are now as classic as any other
with the added benefit of not only being durable but affordable.
Unfortunately it took
me a while before I bought my first pair of Vans, but since that time I have truly
enjoyed them. For this blog post, I
wanted to feature the Authentic Lo Pro with camo print. They’re a nice clean sneaker that is easy to
match and are very comfortable. The best
part of Vans is that the more you wear them the better they look. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for
a nice sneaker that won’t hurt your wallet, and will last you for years.

Removing the New Era Logo
New Era makes amazing
hats. However, since I first fell in
love with their on-field 59fifty from the late 90’s, I decided that I only want
to buy hats that resembled those glory days. Back then hats were 100% wool, made in the
USA, had grey under brims, and didn’t include the New Era logo. So my reason for making this post isn’t so
much to disrespect New Era by removing their logo, but rather it’s to customize
my hat to look the way those older fitteds used to look.
In order to remove
the logo, the first thing I recommend is to have lots of patience because this
task takes lots of time, and concentration.
You want to begin by using a sharp knife that gets under each thread and
individually cuts them (while I have seem other customizers use a seam cutter
to remove the thread I don’t recommend one because it can warp the wool
material). As your cutting the threads,
you also want to use tweezers to detach each thread. And finally you want to use some tape (I use painters
tape) to clean off any excessive threads, which will also leave the wool
spotless. Once you’re done your fitted
should resemble a New Era fitted from the past.
